ggfittext 0.10.3

CRAN release: 2025-12-13

Bug fixes

ggfittext 0.10.2

CRAN release: 2024-01-31

Minor changes

  • Copy theta_rescale() and r_rescale() to avoid relying on ggplot2 internal functions (#39, thanks @teunbrand)
  • Use the cli package for messages, warnings, etc.

ggfittext 0.10.1

CRAN release: 2023-09-05

Minor changes

ggfittext 0.10.0

CRAN release: 2023-04-04

Major changes

  • Add ‘flip’ argument to geom_fit_text() to flip text ‘the right way up’ when in polar coordinates (thanks @BradyAJohnston)
  • Add experimental support for rich text, with the rich argument to geom_fit_text() and geom_bar_text(). Uses gridtext to render a subset of Markdown and HTML. This is liable to change and in particular there may be breaking changes as a result of upstream changes in gridtext
  • Move ggplot2 from ‘Depends’ to ‘Imports’

Minor changes

  • Internal refactoring
  • Improvements to the reflowing algorithm, both for speed and aesthetics
  • Make ‘label’ required aesthetic for geom_bar_text() (#29, thanks @gregleleu)

Bug fixes

ggfittext 0.9.1

CRAN release: 2021-01-30

Minor changes

  • Various minor copy-editing changes to the README and introductory vignette
  • coffees data frame renamed to beverages, some other minor changes to example data frames
  • Change the heuristic for selecting between ‘xmin/xmax’ and ‘width’ (or ‘ymin/ymax’ and ‘height’), as it was causing a bug with zero-height boxes (#26)

Bug fixes

  • Make vdiffr tests conditional
  • Give a warning, rather than stop with an error, when the contrast = TRUE argument is used and the fill value is NA

ggfittext 0.9.0

CRAN release: 2020-06-14

Major changes

Minor changes

  • contrast = TRUE now assumes ggplot2 default colours for fill and panel.background, so it can be used in the absence of a fill aesthetic.
  • Change default behaviour of contrast in geom_bar_text(); instead of defaulting to TRUE, it defaults to true if the text colour is black but to FALSE otherwise (#22, thanks @ds-jim)
  • geom_bar_text() now defaults to contrast = TRUE
  • outside now defaults to FALSE with geom_bar_text() unless position = "identity"
  • Add visual examples for fullheight

Bug fixes

  • Silently ignore NA values of ‘label’ rather than stopping with an error
  • Skip drawing text when the box limits are outside the plot limits and emit a warning, rather than stopping with an error (see #11, thanks
  • Fix ‘Ignoring unknown aesthetics: fill’ error (#19, thanks @zilch42)
  • Clarify defaults for min.size argument
  • Fix bug when using grid units for height or width

ggfittext 0.8.1

CRAN release: 2019-07-18

Minor changes

  • Add ‘vdiffr’ test cases

Bug fixes

  • Fix bug where a blank label causes an error

ggfittext 0.8.0

CRAN release: 2019-06-23

Major changes

  • New geom_bar_text() convenience function for labelling of bars in bar plots
  • New contrast argument for automatically contrasting a background fill colour
  • New fullheight argument for including or excluding descenders in text size
  • Faster for many common uses
  • New hjust and vjust arguments that can be controlled independent of place
  • New outside argument to allow text that doesn’t fit inside the box to be teleported outside of it

Minor changes

  • padding.x and padding.y now both default to 1 mm

Bug fixes

  • When reflowing text, calculation of the best aspect ratio now takes into account the output device’s aspect ratio
  • When reflowing text, calculation of the best aspect ratio no longer refuses to entertain the possibility that the original text might have the best ratio
  • Angled text is now placed correctly

ggfittext 0.7.0

CRAN release: 2019-05-29

Major changes

  • Add support for automatic sizing of text on discrete (categorical) axes
  • Fully deprecate ‘width’ and ‘height’ as aesthetics
  • Increase required R version to 3.2.3

Minor changes

  • Remove default values for ‘width’ and ‘height’ parameters
  • Add new formatter argument to geom_fit_text().
  • Add visual tests with vdiffr.

Bug fixes
