New features

Improvements

  • Move internal color palette data from R/sysdata.rda to R/palettes.R. This change enhances package development transparency, reduces unnecessary indirection, and simplifies contributions by avoiding the construction of the palette data using the R script in data-raw/ (#42).
  • For continuous palette examples, remove the reshape2 dependency and use more compact grid layout to reduce output image size (#45).

New features

Documentation

  • Convert Rd syntax to Markdown in roxygen2 documentation. This simplifies documentation formatting and makes it much easier to add new color scales for contributors (#35).

Improvements

  • Detect ggplot2 version at runtime to determine if the argument scale_name is needed for all discrete_scale() calls. This ensures ggsci always works regardless of the ggplot2 version installed (thanks, @flyingicedragon, #29).

New features

Improvements

  • Use a proper, three-component version number following Semantic Versioning.
  • Reduce output figure size in vignettes and README.Rmd by switching to the ragg PNG device and using pngquant for compression.
  • Added a new vignette on frequently asked questions.
    • A simple solution to interpolate the color palettes when the data has more categories than the number of colors in a discrete color scale.
    • A note on using a color scale consistently for multiple ggplot2 plots by setting global options (thanks, @DanChaltiel, #13).
  • Replace size with linewidth in code examples for ggplot2 >= 3.4.0.
  • Replaced the previous logo with a new hex sticker logo.
  • Replaced previous CI/CD solutions with GitHub Actions workflows.
  • Fixed broken or moved links in function documentation and vignettes.
  • Removed the LazyData field from DESCRIPTION.

Improvements

  • Use system font stack instead of Google Fonts in vignettes to avoid pandoc SSL issue.
