ggridges 0.5.72025-08-27

• Various fixes for latest versions of R and ggplot2.
• Add support for weighted density estimates in stat_density_ridges() by allowing the use of the weight aesthetic (@joranE, #90)
• Add support for grid::pattern(), grid::linearGradient(), and grid::radialGradient() values for fill and point_fill aesthetics by using ggplot2::fill_alpha() (@trevorld, #94)

ggridges 0.5.62024-01-23

• fix issues with upcoming ggplot2 3.5.0.

ggridges 0.5.52023-12-15

• Replace ggplot2::expand_scale() with ggplot2::expansion() in vignettes to avoid deprecation warnings in ggplot2 0.3.3 (@jthomasmock, #78)
• Replace size argument in line functions with linewidth to avoid deprecation warnings in ggplot2 0.3.4 (@jthomasmock, #78)
• Replace use of ..density.. with ggplot2::after_stat(density) to avoid deprecation warnings in ggplot2 0.3.4 (@jthomasmock, #78)

ggridges 0.5.42022-09-26

• Remove broken link in docs.

ggridges 0.5.32021-01-08

• Make sure tests don’t fail if vdiffr is missing.

ggridges 0.5.22020-01-12

• There is now a project website at https://wilkelab.org/ggridges.
• A new example dataset has been added, Aus_athletes.
• scale_discrete_manual() has been removed from the ggridges package, as it has been available in ggplot2 since version 3.0.0.
• stat_density_ridges() now has a parameter n that determines at how many points along the x axis the density is estimated.

ggridges 0.5.12018-09-27

• The alpha aesthetic is now by default applied to jittered points. If you don’t want this to happen, set point_alpha = 1.
• Allow custom function to calculate the position of quantile lines. This makes it possible, for example, to place a line at the mean, via quantile_fun = mean.
• Allow coloring of quantile lines and jittered points by quantile.

ggridges 0.5.02018-04-05

• Expanded documentation and gallery of example plots.
• Reworked stat_density_ridges, geom_ridgeline, geom_density_ridges, etc. so that jittered points and quantile lines can be drawn on top of the distributions. Points and quantile lines can be styled separately from the rest of the ridgeline plot, via special aesthetics.
• Added position options to control how the jittered points are drawn. Default is uniformly spaced within the density area.
• Added geom_density_line() which is a drop-in replacement for geom_density() but draws a ridgeline rather than a closed polygon.
• theme_ridges() has been modified so that font sizes match the cowplot themes. In particular, this means smaller axis tick labels.

ggridges 0.4.12017-09-15

• Skip vdiffr visual tests when compiling on CRAN

ggridges 0.4.02017-09-14

• Initial import of code base from ggjoy, and renaming: geom_joy -> geom_density_ridges stat_joy -> stat_density_ridges theme_joy -> theme_ridges
