ggside 0.4.0

Details/Breaking Changes

As ggplot2 prepares for its next major release, ggside will try to move in kind. Below is a running log of changes that are required due to ggplot2’s welcome changes to S7.

• Double dispatch on S7::method(`+`, list(<ggside>, class_any)) is now available through ggplot2, meaning we no longer need to overload +.gg for our own purposes.
  • ggside no longer exports its own overload of +.gg.
  • ggside now uses the recommened generic ggplot2::update_ggplot() to control how ggside objects are added to this object.
  • previously, ggside would rely on NextMethod() to flexibly dispatch on other ggplot2 subclasses. With S7 this is no longer easily done. For example, update_ggplot(object = <class_any>, plot = <class_ggside>) explicitly forces the plot argument to be dispatched as a class_ggplot object. This prevents possible multiple inheritance interactions with ggside and other extensions of ggplot2.
• ggside (>= v0.4.0) will now depend on ggplot2 (>= v4.0.0).

ggside 0.3.2

• This version will sync with ggplot2 (3.5.2). It fixing warnings when using is.ggproto(). ggside Now uses is_ggproto() instead. Addresses issue #64
• ggside will now depend on R (>= 4.1.0) as it already was doing so internally but not explicitly stated in the DESCRIPTION file.
• Fixing Notes from cran regarding missing doc links.

ggside 0.3.1

• Hot fix for missed bug caused in extraChIPs package. Addresses #58
  • Variables scoped by a function (and not passed to an aesthetic mapping) are now found and evaluated correctly
  • Resurgence of an old warning has been suppressed correctly again #33

ggside 0.3.0

Breaking Changes

• The following classes are no longer exported.
• FacetSideNull, FacetSideGrid, FacetSideWrap
• ggplot2’s GeomCol and GeomBar now compute resolution based on panels, and not the entire data as a whole. This may affect ggside plots that use these variant geometries. Set the width parameter manually to retain old figures.
• ggside now depends on ggplot2 (>3.5.0) as to make side positional scales work reliably, the layer slot of the ggplot object needs to be extended and modified. This slot is only available in the latest version of ggplot2. Attempting to render a ggside object whose Layout has not been subclassed by ggside may lead to unexpected results.
• with ggplot2 (3.5.0), there is slightly more spacing between the y-axis title and the panels when the y-axis is plotted on the right side. This may be attributed to the new guide’s system.
• ggside’s adjacent side scales now operate independently (in support for issue #40, see details in updates section). For example, applying scale_y_log10() on a ggside plot with a xside geometry will NOT apply the transform to the xsidey scale. This is an experimental feature and is subject to change in the future if ggside can move to a more consistent set of expectations for the side scales.

Updates

• Using coord_cartesian(xlim = <limits>, ylim = <limits>) will only apply to the main plotting scales and not side panel scales. For instance, using p + coord_cartesian(xlim = c(0,1)) where p is a ggside object with a yside geometry will NOT set the limits on the ysidex scale. If the user wants to control the limits on the side scales, they should use scale_(x|y)side(y|x)_*() functions. Addresses issue #55
• The ggside_options object now inherits from ggproto instead of a list.
• The ggside_options defaults arguments are now NULL. This will help update the object appropriately without overriding previous options specified through ggside().
• ggside now subclasses Layout allowing for better control of how side scales are trained. This feature may be relatively unstable depending on the version of ggplot2 installed.
• ggside_options object now has a new argument respect_side_labels which will control spacing given between panels for their axes text labels. See ?ggside for argument options. Note, if theme option ggside.panel.spacing is smaller than space required for labels, then priority is given to the respect_side_labels option until ggside.panel.spacing is greater.
• ggside now allows for the trans argument of the scale_(x|y)side(y|x)_continuous(...) functions to be used. Addresses issue #40. This feature is experimental and may be removed depending on how ggplot2 develops in the future. Additional helper functions have been added:
  • scale_xsidey_log10(), scale_ysidex_log10()
  • scale_xsidey_reverse(), scale_ysidex_reverse()
  • scale_xsidey_sqrt(), scale_ysidex_reverse()
• all ggside Geom ggproto objects have their aesthetics changed. For example, GeomXsidebar$required_aes is set to c("x", "xsidey") instead of c("x", "y"). This is to ensure side panel’s respective axis generates its own default scale. With this change, users no longer need to preemptively provide a scale_(x|y)side(y|x)_*() function.
• The following functions have been deprecated
  • as_ggsideFacet -> ggside_facet
  • as_ggsideCoord -> ggside_coord
• Much of the syntax for creating a compatible ggside layer has been wrapped into ggside_layer, which is similar to ggplot2::layer except with an additional argument side. This will allow users to attempt to make a compatible ggside_layer object with custom Geom and Stat combinations. Ideally, the user should not have to modify the Geom or Stat directly, as this is handled by subclassing the Layer ggproto class directly.
• many of the ggside internals have been trimmed down for redundancy, resulting in a smaller package overall.

ggside 0.2.3

Updates

• fixes issue where facet_grid(..., scales = "free/free_x/free_y") was not allowed with certain ggside(collaps = "all/x/y"). This restriction makes sense with facet_wrap but not facet_grid. Addresses issue #45
• fixes tests so ggside is compatible with scales (v1.3.0).
• adding cli as a dependency
• added xside and yside variants for geom_abline, geom_hline and geom_vline. Addresses issue #48

ggside 0.2.2

Updates

• The ggside_options object now inherits from ggproto instead of a list.
• fixed issue where facet_wrap(..., scales = "free/free_x/free_y") prevented the associated scale_ysidex_*()/scale_xsidey_*() functions from plotting the guides. Addresses issue #35
• ggside now provides an informative warning if the user provides free scales to facets but an incompatible argument to ggside(collapse = ...). This warning will force the collapse parameter to something that will comply with the facet scales specification.
• ggside should be more resistant to ggplot2’s updates to their default aesthetics. ggplot2 v3.4.0 has included a new default aesthetic that has caused ggside geoms to break. Addresses issue #36

ggside 0.2.1

Breaking change

Certain ggside geometries have the capabilities to use xfill/yfill or xcolour/ycolour in place of the normal fill and colour aesthetics. This was always meant to provide a separate aesthetic scale to color by. The earlier version of ggside failed to consider the case when fill/colour was specified in the global mapping, and the user passes a new data frame to the ggside layer that excludes the quoted column. This has been addressed with #28 where if xfill/yfill are specified, then the global fill aesthetic is ignored (as well for xcolour/ycolour and colour). This fix, however, has exposed a potential breaking change, meaning plots with the following characteristics may not be exactly the same as compared to earlier versions of ggside (< 0.2.1) :

• fill or colour is used in global mapping
• xfill/yfill or xcolour/ycolour (respectively) is used in a ggside layer
• both quoted columns for these aesthetics were available in whatever data given to the layer

How this would have worked in the past is that the computed mapping groups would be made on both aesthetics, but only filling or coloring by the ggside aesthetic. Now, the layer will only fill or color by the ggside aesthetic - potentially reducing the number of groups made by the plot.

Updates

• ggside() gains a strip argument, allowing for facet_grid to plot strips on the main panels as opposed to the default of the side panels. Addresses issue #26
• fixed annoying warnings from plot scales when mixing discrete and continuous scales. Addresses issue #33
• added the following geom_(x|y)side* variants
  • geom_xsidefunction(), geom_ysidefunction()
  • geom_xsideline(), geom_ysideline()
  • geom_xsidelabel(), geom_ysidelabel()
• stat_xsidefunction() and stat_ysidefunction() were added to accompany geom_(x|y)sidefunction. This seemed to be a special case in which a stat variant was also needed.
• geom_abline(), geom_hline(), and geom_vline() will no longer cause errors when used on a ggside object that has facet_wrap()/facet_grid() in place. Addresses issue #3

ggside 0.2.0

• A set of new theme elements have been added to give users more control over how side panels are rendered. Please see ?ggside-theme for more details. Addresses Feature request #10.
• To make way for this change, ggside now also modifies the Coord object. Currently only CoordCartesian, CoordFixed and CoordTrans are supported for ggside.
• new arguments added to ggside: draw_x_on and draw_y_on which will allow the user to specify if the respective axis should be rendered on the main panel or the side panel.

ggside 0.1.3

• Properly imported ggplot2::ggplot_add() into ggside such that ggside methods were available to ggplot2 calls. Addresses issue #24.
• Re-factored XLayer and YLayer to rely less on ggplot2 internal Layer class. Hopefully fixing issue users may experience between ggplot2 (3.3.2) and ggplot2 (3.3.5). Addresses issue #23.

ggside 0.1.2

• Fixed bug where additional messages were printed to the console when using ggplot2::facet_wrap() or ggplot2::facet_grid(). Addresses issue #20.
• Fixed bug where geom_xsidetext() was using the incorrect Geom parameter. Addresses issue #19.

ggside 0.1.1

• fixed bug in which colour/color/fill appear in guides when used as params instead of an aes() mapping. Now these aesthetics, and their x/y variants should behave like ggplot2 API. Addresses issue #12.
• ggside should now work better with the patchwork package. Addresses issue #13.
• Fixed ‘bug’ in which computed aesthetics did not mix well with main panels of class ContinuousScaleDate. Extended better control to XLayer and YLayer to pull scales from the proper panels instead of using the prototype scales on plot$scales. Addresses issue #11.

ggside 0.1.0

• Various geom_*side* have better default calling behavior. See vignettes("ggside_aes_mapping") for more details.
• Added various functions to help customize side panels. xsidey will affect the y-axis of the xside panel, and ysidex will affect the x-axis of the yside panel.
  • scale_xsidey_continuous
  • scale_xsidey_discrete
  • scale_ysidex_continuous
  • scale_ysidex_discrete
• Using proper semantic versioning
• Added documentation examples for the following side geometries:
  • geom_*sidebar
  • geom_*sideboxplot
  • geom_*sidecol
  • geom_*sidedensity
  • geom_*sidefreqpoly
  • geom_*sideline
  • geom_*sidepoint
  • geom_*sidesegement
  • geom_*sidetile
  • geom_*sideviolin
• Corrected bug where geom_*sideviolin was not returning ggside_layer class
• Updated vignette(ggside_basic_usage) ‘How its done’ section headers
