[4.2.1] - 2024-mm-dd

Added

• coord_polar() function for polar coordinate system
  [TODO: ADD NOTEBOOK]

• panel_grid_ontop, panel_grid_ontop_x, panel_grid_ontop_y parameters in theme()

• panel_border_ontop parameter in theme()

• panel_inset parameter in theme()
  [TODO: ADD NOTEBOOK]

• The scale_mapper_kind parameter in scale_*_continuous() and scale_*_discrete() to specify the scale type ('identity', 'color_gradient', 'color_gradient2', 'color_gradientn', 'color_hue', 'color_grey', 'color_brewer', 'color_cmap', 'size_area').

• geom_curve()

  See: example notebook.

• Aesthetics to adjust start/end coordinate of segment/curve: size_start, size_end, stroke_start, stroke_end.

  See: example notebook.

• setup_show_ext() function is for display plots in an external browser.

• alpha_stroke parameter in geom_label() to enable the applying of alpha to color.

  See: example notebook.

• Automatic geom rotation of geom_bar(), geom_lollipop(), geom_boxplot() and geom_violin() for discrete y.

  See: example notebook.

Changed

• [BREAKING] Function geom_image() is removed. Please use geom_imshow() instead.
• Parameter axis_ontop in theme() is now True by default.

Fixed

• geom_errorbar(): wrong positioning of tooltips [#992].
• geom_path(): tooltip position interpolation [#855].
• Stacked bar-chart annotation: labels go out of the plot when zooming-in using coord_cartesian(xlim, ylim) [#981].
• Facets: "free scales" options are ignored by discrete axis [#955].
• Bar width is too large when x-domain is defined via x-scale limits [#1013].
• How to hide only main tooltip? [LPK-#232].
• Make middle strip in geomCrossbar() optional [LPK-233].
• Can't set None for coord limit [#486].
• Scale limits don't work for bars/area [LPK-219], [#978].
• No gridlines when axis_ontop=True [#1012].
• bar-plot: do not draw bar border adjacent to the axis [#845].
