vcd 1.4-13 (2024-09-16)

• Minor bug fix in docs.

vcd 1.4-11 (2023-02-01)

• add ORCID IDs

vcd 1.4-10 (2022-06-09)

• cosmetic changes.

vcd 1.4-9 (2021-10-18)

• add gp_axis argument to pairs_barplot().

• fix URLs in JSS references.

vcd 1.4-8 (2020-09-21)

• New argument pdigits= in legend_resbased() to specify the number of digits of p-values.

vcd 1.4-7 (2020-04-02)

• bugfix: highlighting was wrong since 1.4-5. It now correctly recycles the fill parameter along last dimension (i.e., the dependent variable), in contrast to standard behavior of mosaic()

vcd 1.4-6 (2020-03-08)

• bugfix: doubledecker plot had wrong shading since 1.4-5. It now correctly recycles graphical parameters along last dimension (i.e., the dependent variable), in contrast to standard behavior of mosaic().

vcd 1.4-5 (2020-01-13)

• small internal change in tile() to account for new grid package.

• graphical parameters are now recycled along first dimension.

vcd 1.4-4 (2017-12-06)

• Bugfix: labeling_cells() could not handle structable objects when called separately from mosaic().

• ternaryplot() now has additional dimnames_rot= and labels_rot= arguments for changing the angle of the labels.

• The loddratio plot now suppresses labels in the 2x2x(strata) case.

vcd 1.4-3 (2016-09-17)

• Remove outdated inst/doc directory.

vcd 1.4-2

• add lines() method for loddsratio objects.

• add gpar() argment to control confidence intervals in distplot().

vcd 1.4-1 (2015-07-08)

• add imports for functions in recommended packages to NAMESPACE

• shading_hcl now also uses solid line type for abs(residuals) < eps like shading_hsv().

vcd 1.4-0 (2015-06-09)

• Add shading_Marimekko and shading_diagonal.

• Add residual-based shading to rootogram().

• Add residuals() method for "goodfit" objects.

• Add grid_abline() for convenience.

• Add P-values to the output print.Kappa() produces.

• Fix legend of distplot() in case of leveled plots.

• cotab_agreementplot panel function for plotting conditional (stratified) agreement charts added.

• loddsratio added as an extension of oddsratio for conditioned generalized odds ratios. The plot method is greatly enhanced, and structural zeros (missing values) are also accepted. oddsratio is now just an alias for loddsratio.

• Bug fix in pairs.table(): for "conditional" type, tables are now reordered so that the conditioning variables come first.

• cotab_loddsratio panel function for plotting conditional log-odds ratios plots added.

• assocstats now handles strata (all but the first two dimensions).

• sieve now accepts a scale= argument.

• binreg_plot() added for (conditioned) binary regression plots

• Bug fix in mosaic(): using highlighting= and/or condvars= now not only reorders the table, but also the split information, so that both remain consistent.

• All plot functions now have an option to return the produced plot as a grid object for further use (e.g., in mplot()).

• mplot() added for combining multiple grid plots in a multi-panel-layout.

• legend_grid now allows more options for positioning, and an inset argument has been added for relative adjustments.

vcd 1.3-2 (2014-08-03)

• Ord_plot() gets lwd, lty and col arguments to control plotting of the OLS and WLS lines.

• distplot() gets an lwd argument.

• Changed default line types for sieve so that positive residuals are shown with solid lines, as per Friendly specifications.

• fixed problems with pairs_strucplot() type argument, particularly for type="conditional"

• Fixed error in CoalMiners data (missing group, labels switched)

• Change default area type for sieve plots to "area"

vcd 1.3-1 (2013-09-11)

• several namespace issues fixed

vcd 1.3-0 (2013-09-11)

• Bug fixed in assoc()

• grid_legend() extended for better finetuning of graphical parameters

• legend_resbased() better handles spacing for labels.

• legend_resbased() and legend_fixed() now allow changing the font family.

• default diagonal panel in pairs() is now set to pairs_diagonal_mosaic(), with alternating labels and frequencies shown on the bars.

• labeling is more customizable in fourfold()

vcd 1.2-13 (2012-02-20)

• agreementplot() now allows to add marginals to the plot

• abbreviate argument of labeling_border() renamed to abbreviate_labs to prevent name clash with abbreviate_foo args in labeling_cells()

• Several partial matches fixed in code

vcd 1.2-12 (2011-09-13)

• Bug fix: assoc() would not plot tables with 0 residuals

• Bug fix: structable() adds dimnames and dimname names if none are specified

• Bug fix: print error message when subsetting/selecting of structable objects using more than 2 indices

• ‘NEWS’ file changed to .Rd format

vcd 1.2-11 (2011-05-24)

• Bug fix: gamma argument removed from hcl2hex()

vcd 1.2-10 (2011-05-19)

• Add aperm method for structable objects

• For use with shading_Friendly(), shading_hsv() now sets the line type of borders corresponding to abs(residual) < eps to lty[1] in addition to setting color to line_color.

• In fourfold(), modified default colors[3:4] for non-significant log odds ratios to be more visually distinct from the fully saturated colors[5:6] for significant ones.

• In fourfold(), allow the function to work with tables with more than 3 dimensions, by restructuring all strata dimensions into a single combined 3rd dimension.

• In fourfold(), modified defaults for mfrow/mfcol to give landscape display, nr <= nc, rather than nr >= nc. If length(dim(x)) > 3, set nr=dim(x)[3].

vcd 1.2-9 (2010-08-30)

• Fixed Ord_plot() for devices where the default filling is "white" and not "transparent" by explicitly setting it to the latter.

• Bug fix in as.table.structable(), returning the table in a different order than defined in the structable object, confusing in particular plot.structable().

• add parameter to ternaryplot() to control the positioning of the plot labels.

vcd 1.2-8 (2010-02-08)

• Small bug fixes in handling of some graphical parameters.

vcd 1.2-7 (2009-10-18)

• Corrected df handling in goodfit() with ML estimation: only non-zero cells are used. This is backward compatible with versions <= 1.2-4.

• Fixed bug in goodfit() for binomial distribution with specified "size" parameter (introduced in 1.2-5).

vcd 1.2-6 (2009-10-13)

• Small typo in doc of co_table().

vcd 1.2-5

• Bundesliga data set has been augmented with the results of the seasons 2006/7, 2007/8, 2008/9 (thanks to Torsten Hothorn).

• goodfit() was modified to treat zero cells better: ‘Internal’ zero cells (i.e., counts below the maximal observed count that did not occur in the sample) are retained (and not dropped as before). ‘Trailing’ zero cells (i.e., counts above the maximal observed count) are still not considered. The documentation now points out the problems with the minimum-chi-squared method in the latter situation.

• sieve() now accepts a gp_tile argument to control the appearance of the cells (apart from the sieve color)

vcd 1.2-4 (2009-05-09)

• Bug fix: labeling arguments were incorrectly handled when the options were not provided as named vector

• ternaryplot() now makes use of the cex argument also for the rendering of optional labels, if any

vcd 1.2-3 (2009-03-09)

• ‘hcl-colors.pdf’ removed from source ball (vignette now in colorspace)

vcd 1.2-2 (2009-02-05)

• strucplot() now accepts a df argument that is passed to the shading functions. Also, expected values are no longer computed if residuals are given.

vcd 1.2-1 (2008-11-21)

• Fixed a bug in labeling (incorrect handling of some parameters)

vcd 1.2-0 (2008-10-25)

• Moved color palettes from vcd to colorspace, including vignette("hcl-colors"). Package colorspace is (as before) loaded automatically with vcd.
