vioplot 0.5.0 (2024)

New features (pilot release with limited API and documentation)

• adds function to annotate sample size per group
• adds function to plot outliers by standard deviation magnitude threshold

Updates to Violin plot

• enable angled axis labels with srt.axis
• pass axis aesthetic parameters from formula input

Documentation

• add demo of histogram plots (#19 by @Jadamso)
• updated vignettes for split histograms (#19 by @Jadamso)
• expands vignettes for annotated violins and annotated split violins

Bug fixes

• formula input detects group names but avoids overlapping axis labels

vioplot 0.4.0 (2022)

New feature

• adds feature for histograms in dedicated function discussed on GitHub issue #15 and PR #18

Documentation

• adds vignette for histograms #18

• adds examples to overlay information with base R graphics discussed in issues #16 and #17 on GitHub

• updates documentation for h parameter #14

Bug fixes

• allow suppression of y-axes with yaxt = 'n' without disabing x-axes (should be independent parameter). Resolves unexpected behaviour reported on GitHub issue #16.

• allow NA values when plotting repeated values resolves bug in #13 commit bd68db3c10ee5b8a550568f449fecd1d47a62197

vioplot 0.3.7 (2021)

Updates maintainer contact details.

vioplot 0.3.6 (2021)

Bug fixes.

• allow plotting repeated non-unique values over threshold number with checks #13

vioplot 0.3.5 (2020)

Bug fixes.

• allow reuse of vector inputs

• correct graphical paramters: xaxt, xlim

• correct log scales (xlog) for horizontal violins

• document axes labels for split violins

vioplot 0.3.4 (2019)

Bug fixes.

• avoids altering base plotting parameters par()

• resolves issues calling log inputs without an explicit log parameter as text

vioplot 0.3.3 (2019)

Minor release with improvements to passing parameters.

• improved passing of base R plotting parameters

• resolves issues with variable names and factor levels in formula inputs

vioplot 0.3.2 (2019)

Minor release with improvements to passing parameters.

• improved handling for formula input: levels for names and variable names for axes labels

• improved passing of graphical parameters to title, and axis

• axes for log-scale are automatically generated and horizontal plots are supported

Examples for formula input added for convenience (this method is recommended).

vioplot 0.3.1 (2019)

Minor release with continuous integration testing, improved vignettes, and License. Compatible with GitHub and CRAN Release.

vioplot 0.3.0 (2018)

Major changes

• formula inputs

vioplot is now compatible with all inputs of boxplot or beanplot, including formula inputs (implemented as S3 methods).

• plot customisation

Various features of violins can be tweaked with plotting parameters, such as colours and shapes of aspects of the violin. These can be applied to all violins with a single (scalar) input or applied separately to each violin with multiple (vector) inputs

• defaults

This version is fully compatible with inputs to vioplot 0.2. The only difference in behaviour changing the default colour from a glaring magenta to a monochrome grey (more appropriate in a wider range of professional settings). Code written for previous versions should run without breaking or changes in behaviour apart from the default colour.
