thisplot 0.4.6

• compatibility:
  • Require ggplot2 4.0.0 or later and use its public theme completion API.
  • Require thisutils 0.5.0 or later for optional dependency checks without installing packages during plotting. Only hull marks require concaveman.
• feat:
  • Add NetworkPlot() to draw a network from an edge data frame and an optional node data frame, with igraph layouts (fr, kk, circle) or user-supplied coordinates, edge width and colour by weight and group, node group colour, shape and size mapping, repelled labels, highlight rings, and theme control. Duplicate edges are collapsed to the strongest weight and self-loops dropped.
  • Add rasterise_plot(), which renders the point and line layers of a ggplot or patchwork object as 300 dpi rasters, recursing into the sub-plots of a composite, so figures with many elements stay small and fast to draw. Layers are rendered with the ragg device, which, unlike the Cairo device of the underlying package, needs no X11.
  • Add plot_scatter() and plot_histogram() using theme_this() and thisplot palettes. Correlation annotation no longer depends on ggpubr; point density and marginal plots remain optional.
  • StatPlot() value bars can show numeric labels through label = TRUE.
  • get_colors() can now take ggplot or patchwork objects and returns a two-column data frame with the factor levels and their mapped colors used in the plot(s).
  • get_colors() also accepts other renderable plot objects (gtable, grob, gList, ComplexHeatmap::Heatmap, pheatmap, trellis) and returns the colors used in the plot with their Chinese names.
  • Raise a clear error when an unsupported object type is passed to get_colors().
  • Add print_colored_table() for ANSI-colored data-frame output, with palette colors assigned by column by default and optional row coloring.
  • Keep table headers uncolored and omit separator rules for compact console output.
  • Add invert_svg() to build a dark-mode variant of an SVG by replacing every colour with its RGB complement and giving fill-less elements a light inherited fill. Rasters embedded as data:image/png;base64,... payloads, such as the colour bar of a continuous ggplot2 legend, are complemented pixel by pixel too, which invert_raster = FALSE turns off. The rgb() notation written by cairo-based devices such as grDevices::svg() is understood as well, and a file that holds no colour to invert is reported instead of being copied silently.
  • Add invert_png() for a PNG on its own and invert_figures() to invert several figures at once, given files or directories. Both name their copy after the input with a -dark suffix, and invert_figures() skips files that already carry that suffix.
• fix:
  • Invert color animation values when the target SVG attribute is a color, preserving non-color animations and element references.
  • Preserve edge endpoints with missing weights when constructing network layouts, including circular layouts that do not use weights.
  • Preserve SVG element references and CSS selectors when inverting colors.
  • Keep zero-weight edges in network plots while excluding them from layout forces, so the fr and kk layouts accept zero weights.
  • Center the rotated y-axis label along the coordinate arrow in theme_blank() across panel sizes and custom arrow lengths.
  • Align get_colors() and colored-table columns using ANSI-aware terminal display widths, including Chinese text.
  • Apply distinct palette colors consistently when printing colored tables.
• docs:
  • Streamline documentation for optional ComplexHeatmap helpers.

thisplot 0.4.4

• fix:
  • Restore ComplexHeatmap as an optional dependency so thisplot can be installed from repositories that do not package Bioconductor dependencies.
  • Check for ComplexHeatmap when heatmap-specific helpers are used and run their examples only when the optional package is available.

thisplot 0.4.3

• feat:
  • Add major_grid() for reusable major-grid control.
  • Let block heatmap annotations control border colour and line width.
• fix:
  • Declare ComplexHeatmap as an imported dependency so heatmap examples run on clean check systems.

thisplot 0.4.1

• feat:
  • StatPlot(): Added direct x-axis label rotation control via x_text_angle.
  • StatPlot(): Major panel grid settings now consistently control percent trend plots.

thisplot 0.3.9

• feat:
  • DimDataPlot(): New lightweight helper for plotting supplied 2D coordinates from data frames, with grouping, splitting, shape mapping, labels, palettes, theme controls, and optional group marks.
  • StatPlot(): Added configurable major panel grid lines via grid_major, grid_major_colour, grid_major_linetype, and grid_major_linewidth.
  • StatPlot(): Added optional venn_engine = "venny" support for more flexible 2-4 set Venn diagrams while keeping ggVennDiagram as the default.
• docs:
  • Added documentation and examples for DimDataPlot().
  • Updated StatPlot() documentation for the new major grid controls.
  • Added StatPlot() documentation and examples for the optional venny Venn backend.

thisplot 0.3.8

• feat:

    • to_percent(): convert values to percentages after unit-sum normalization.
    • annotate_quadrants(): add quadrant guide lines and percentage labels to scatter plots.
    • clip_symmetric_range(): clip values to symmetric lower and upper limits.

  • visual_colors(): add adaptive label layout via label_mode, with tighter HTML rendering for Chinese, pinyin, RGB, and hex labels.
  • ChineseColors$visual_colors(): pass name_type through to the layout mode so different label types use matching display rules.
  • get_chinese_palettes(): use color_sets$Chinese as the default Chinese palette and add a fallback palette definition when the dataset metadata is incomplete.
• docs:
  • Add runnable examples for the migration helper functions.
  • Add documentation entries for annotate_quadrants(), clip_symmetric_range(), jitter_highlighted_points(), and to_percent().
  • Expand Chinese color examples to show the default color_sets$Chinese palette.
  • Update visual_colors() documentation for the new adaptive label layout mode.
