Velocity0.0

A 'ggplot2' Extension Inspired by 'GraphPad Prism'

A Prism-styled ggplot2 theme in maintenance, now surviving ggplot2 4.0.

ggplot2themesvisualizationcompatibilitymaintenance
Current state
ggprism reproduces GraphPad Prism's look inside ggplot2 through themes, axis guides, palettes and p-value brackets, and has been feature-stable since its 2021 CRAN debut. The only release in the recent window is a compatibility pass for ggplot2 v4.0.0. The rest of the visible history is the original 2021 launch sequence.
Where it's heading
The package now moves on upstream's clock rather than its own: releases appear when ggplot2 makes a breaking change, and the content is deprecation cleanup and test repair. The 2021 entries show where the capability surface was set, and it has not widened since.
Prediction
The next release is most likely another ggplot2 compatibility pass rather than new guides or palettes.

    ggplot2 4.0 compatibility fixes for theme_prism()

    Fixes for ggplot2 v4.0.0: theme_prism() now inherits from a theme object, deprecated calls are updated, and a fragile test is repaired. This keeps the package usable on current ggplot2 rather than adding to it.

    Vignette figure and test fixes ahead of ggplot2 3.4

    Vignette figure repair and test adjustments ahead of ggplot2 3.4.0. Nothing changes for users of the theme or the p-value helpers.

    add_pvalue() accepts more input column layouts

    add_pvalue() accepts a wider range of input column layouts, the one substantive change in the early CRAN sequence; the rest of the entry is vignette and test repair.

    First CRAN submission after the GitHub release

    The CRAN submission of a package first released on GitHub weeks earlier: licence file removed, description reworded, example vignettes moved online only. Distribution work rather than capability.

    Initial release: Prism themes, guides, palettes, p-value brackets

    ⚡ SPARK

    The release that defines the package: Prism-style themes, axis guides, colour and fill scales, p-value brackets and a sample dataset, all as a ggplot2 extension. Everything since has been maintenance around this surface.
