v0.12.1
(2023-05-09)
New Features
-
A layout manager. Now you do not have to adjust spacing parameters to prevent objects around the panels from overlapping. Specifically, you can:
- Set the legend position to "top", "left" or "bottom"
- Use a large or multiline plot title
- Use a large or multiline plot caption
- Use facet_wrap with
scales="free"
scales="free_x"
or `scales="free_y"
You can now also align the plot_title, axis_title_x, axis_title_y and plot_caption with respect to the panels. Set these to "left", "right" & "center" for the horizontal flowing text. And "top", "right" & "center" for the vertical flowing text.
Also, the size of the figure is exactly determined by the theme setting. For example, this:
theme(figure_size=(8, 6), dpi=100)
will create an 800px x 600px image.
-
You can create a
subtitle
using labs and style it using theplot_subtitle
parameter to theme.
theme(plot_subtitle=element_text(size=8))
Enhancements
-
ggplot object gained a new method save_helper(). It gives you access to the matplotlib figure that will be saved to file.
-
When plotting with an ipython interactive backend (e.g. in a jupyter notebook). The default image output is retina. You do not need to run this command.
%config InlineBackend.figure_format = "retina"
Plotnine still respects any values set the user.
-
In an interactive setting, after drawing an image. The size of the figure (in pixels) is printed e.g.
<Figure Size: (640 x 480)>
. Previously, something like<ggplot: (336175301)>
was printed.
API Changes
__add__()
and__iadd__()
now accept the same types of objects. In this change__iadd__()
has gained the ability to accept a list of objects.- draw() no longer accepts the argument
return_ggplot
and the return value is always a matplolib figure. - Themeables
strip_margin,
strip_margin_x
andstrip_margin_y
have been renamed to strip_align(), strip_align_x() strip_align_y() repectively. subplots_adjust
has been deprecated. You no longer need to usetheme(subplots_adjust={"right": 0.85})
and the like to make space for the legend or text around the panels. In the future, this will through an error.- Changed default font-family (san-serif) from DejaVu Sans to Helvetica.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed bug where a discrete position scale failed when mapping an empty variable. (#647)
- Fixed bug where facet_grid with a datetime column run into an exception. (#629)
- Fixed bug where geom_violin with facetting and "scales = free" did not work. (#655)
- Fixed bug in position_dodge2 to work with preserve="single" for geom_rect and any other geoms that accept a min-max range along the x-axis.
- Fixed legend for geom_point to accurately display transparent fill colors that have been manually set. (#665)
- Fix issue where infinite limits for the x or y scales lead to an exception. (#664)
- Fixed geom_text and geom_label when used with string formatting so that missing values are removed. (#651)
