ggraph 2.0.3

• Fix bug in geom_edge_elbow() that resulted in duplicated group columns in the data.

ggraph 2.0.2

• Remove reshape2 dependency

ggraph 2.0.1

• Fix bug in ggraph that will surface with the next grid release
• Deprecate qgraph() in favour of autograph() to avoid name collision with qgraph::qgraph(). autograph() is now also a generic with a default method, so you can provide your own specific ggraph plot method for your network classes

ggraph 2.0.0

This release is a major release including many new features, bug fixes and some breaking changes.

Breaking changes

• Use tidygraph as the central data format. The results of this are several:

  • All graph object supported by tidygraph are now supported on even footing in ggraph. All layouts are now available to any graph class
  • BREAKING The "even" layout for dendrograms are no more, but can be obtained by using the "dendrogram" layout with height = NULL
  • BREAKING All layouts uses NSE for arguments that refer to node and edge variables, instead of passing in strings that refer to the variable name.
  • All examples and vignettes now uses tidygraph for graph manipulation resulting in much cleaner code.
  • tree_apply has been removed in favour of using tidygraph::map_bfs_*
  • geom_edge_elbow is no longer only available to dendrogram objects
  • tidygraph algorithms can now be used directly within ggraph functions. E.g. you can have sort.by = node_rank_hclust() in your specification of a linear layout, or aes(colour = group_infomap()) in node geoms

  This big change fixes #21, #72, #79, and #81. A vignette has been added to describe the integration in more detail

• The curvature argument from geom_edge_arc() and geom_edge_hive() as well as the spread argument from geom_edge_fan() has been deprecated in favor of the new strength argument.

• ggraph plots now gets constructed with grid and axes removed from the default theme.

New features

• Add equal-angle and equal-daylight unrooted tree layouts (#59)
• Interface with the graphlayouts package and make all its layouts available. The auto layout now uses the stress layout for standard graphs (sparse stress) for larger graphs.
• Added length argument to the dendrogram layout to allow the layout to be based on edge length rather than node heights (#124).
• Added geom_edge_parallel() for drawing multiedges as parallel lines (#191)
• Added fabric layout to create biofabric plots. Also added geom_node_range() and geom_edge_span() for visualising such layouts (#47)
• Added geom_edge_bend() for drawing soft elbows (#45)
• Added geom_node_voronoi() for displaying nodes as voronoi tiles (#100)
• Added qgraph() for quickly creating a standard network plot for explorative purpose (#94)
• All non-straight line-based edge geoms now has a strength parameter that controls their deviation from a straight line. 0 will always give a straight line while 1 will be their natural look. Numbers outside this range may look weird (#97)
• Added weight and mode arguments to get_con() that are passed on to the shortest path calculations (#89).
• Add matrix layout and geom_edge_point() (#23)
• Added geom_edge_tile() for use with matrix layouts (#141)
• Manual layouts are now easier to specify. You can pass a matrix or data.frame to the layout parameter that will then be used. Also, if an x and y argument is present, the auto layout will choose the manual layout. (#91)
• Custom layout functions are now much more flexible. And can either return a data.frame or an object coercible to a tbl_graph. In the latter case the node table will be used as layout and the graph will be attached. This allows direct use of the particles package as a layout engine as a side effect. (#88)

Bug fixes

• Fixed numerous bugs and issues pertaining to the group aesthetic handling in many edge geoms (#190, #193).
• Edge geoms no longer throws an error when all edges are completely capped (#176)
• Fixed a bug that prevented edge capping from being used with *2 variants of edge geoms (#167)
• Fix bug in edge capping that could lead to edges extending to (0,0) (#163)
• Fix bug affecting faceting of capped edges (#140)
• Character aesthetics are no longer cast to factors in edge geoms (#131)
• Fix a bug where start capping was ignored if the previous edge had been completely removed by capping (#150)
• Fix offsetting bug in edge label drawing when some labels are empty strings and label_parse = TRUE (#159)
• Fixed a bug resulting in the wrong mapping of additional values to connections (#122, #134)
• Fixed a bug when using facet_graph() with data from both tbl_df and data.frame
• Added override.aes to guide_edge_direction()
• Fix bug with extracting edges from an empty graph (#76)
• Fixed bug causing shifts in edge aesthetics when one or more edges were completely clipped (#62, #115)
• Fixed bug when clipping completely orthogonal points that produced additional lines going to (0,0) (#70, #84, #103)

Other

• Changed license to MIT
• Update roxygen documentation to use markdown and reduce duplication (#95)
