mschart 0.4.2

Highlights

• Four new chart types: pie / doughnut (ms_piechart()), bubble (ms_bubblechart()), radar (ms_radarchart()) and stock charts with HLC and OHLC candlesticks (ms_stockchart()).
• Combine several chart types (e.g. bars + lines) on a single chart, with optional secondary axis, via ms_chart_combine().
• Drop a chart into an Excel sheet with officer::sheet_add_drawing(); chart data is written into the sheet and linked automatically.

New features

Charts

• Line charts can now be stacked or percent-stacked (chart_settings(grouping = ...)).
• Stock charts gain the data-table option already available on bar / line / area charts (chart_settings(table = TRUE)).

Axes, theme and legend

• Control axis interval spacing via major_unit, minor_unit, major_time_unit and minor_time_unit (#105).
• Position and size the legend manually with legend_x, legend_y, legend_w, legend_h in mschart_theme() / chart_theme() (#38).
• Disable grid lines by setting grid_major_line_x / _y or grid_minor_line_x / _y to FALSE.

Series styling

• chart_data_fill() updates the matching stroke colour by default, so one call produces a filled shape with a matching border. Opt out with update_stroke = FALSE.

Validation and warnings

• Series styling functions now warn when applied to a chart type that does not support the property (see ?mschart for the supported matrix).
• chart_settings(table = TRUE) warns instead of being silently ignored on chart types without a data table (scatter, radar, bubble, pie).
• chart_labels() validates title, xlab and ylab: each must be NULL or a single non-NA string.

Bug fixes

• Thin lines below 1pt (0.25, 0.5, 0.75) are rendered on ms_scatterchart like on other chart types.
• chart_data_line_style("none") actually hides the line (#91, #99, thanks Stefan Moog).
• Theme number formats (date_fmt, double_fmt, …) are applied to axes again.
• chart_data_smooth() resolves the right series.
• chart_settings() no longer resets unrelated options when called with partial parameters (linechart, areachart, scatterchart).
• Fixed example in ?chart_data_size.

Breaking changes

• chart_settings() on ms_bubblechart no longer accepts style — it was silently ignored before. Remove the argument from your code.
