ggplate 0.4.0

• The value argument of plate_plot() now accepts factors, which previously caused an error. The order of the factor levels determines the order of the legend. This makes it possible to control the legend order, which for character columns is still the order of appearance in the data.
• Every level of a factor is assigned a colour, even if it is not present in the data. This means that plates plotted from the same data always use the same colour for the same level.
• plate_plot() received the new border argument. It takes a column that contains categories, which are plotted as colours of the well borders. This makes it possible to highlight individual wells. The categories are shown in a second legend and wells with a missing value (NA) keep the default black border.
• As part of the above addition, two more things were added to the package:
  • border_colour is a new argument that takes the colours used for the well borders. By default the new border_colours scheme is used.
  • border_colours is a new colour scheme containing four colours that mark the status of a well. The colours are not part of the protti_colours and viridis_colours schemes, which ensures that borders are visible on every fill colour.
• Every example dataset received a Status, a Control or a Replicate column, which can be used with the new border argument. For most datasets only some of the wells have a category, the rest of the wells contain NA.
• The legends of the value and the border argument now share the space next to the plot. The number of legend columns is based on the total number of keys of both legends and the legend_n_row argument now specifies the total number of rows of both legends.
• The value column can now contain only missing values (NA), which makes it possible to show a plate that has colours only for the well borders. In this case no legend is shown for the value argument. This requires the remove_na argument to be set to FALSE, otherwise every well is removed and plate_plot() now returns an informative error.
• The value column can now also be a logical column, which previously threw an error.

ggplate 0.3.1

• Fixed a bug that was introduced with the last version. Row labels were NA when no complete dataset was provided.

ggplate 0.3.0

• The plate_plot() function now supports 1536-well plates with the “Aa-Hd” row label format in addition to the “A-AF” format.

ggplate 0.2.0

• Fix issue #27. If limits were used to exclude values, no labels could be displayed for those wells. Limits were never intended to exclude values, but even if not intended this works now as expected.
• As part of the above fix, two new arguments were added to the function:
  • na_fill is the colour used to fill NA wells. This is by default "grey50".
  • remove_na is a logical value that specifies if NA values should be removed from the value column of the input data. By default it is TRUE keeping the original behaviour, but it now allows users to keep NA values.

ggplate 0.1.5

• The package received the 1536-well format. Thanks to @plinders!

ggplate 0.1.4

• Fix issue #23. If not all possible rows were part of the data, wells were shifted down to the bottom of the plate. This has been fixed and every well is in the correct position irrespective of the completeness of the data.

ggplate 0.1.3

• Fix issue #20. The previous fix inadvertently introduced another bug, which flipped the row order. This has been fixed now.

ggplate 0.1.2

• Fix issue #20. Row labels were not displayed with ggplot2 update 3.5.1. This was because ylim cannot be provided in reverse order anymore in ggplot2::coord_fixed(). Now letters for row labels are provided in reverse order instead.

ggplate 0.1.1

• Fix R version requirement. Is now 4.1.0 and not 4.0.0 anymore. This fixes issue #15.
• Fix issue introduced in version 0.1.0. While attempting to remove trailing zeros, we inadvertently introduced some undesired side effects associated with the format() function. This resulted in incorrectly formatted text labels due to leading and trailing whitespaces.
• Update documentation to inform about conda package version.
• Update documentation to inform about potentially undesired behavior of new graphics device being opened by function when used in command line. This can be suppressed by setting scale argument.

ggplate 0.1.0

• Fixed a bug with the value argument that would not allow the user to provide a character column with only one value. This fixes issue #10.
• Fixed a bug with the label argument that would discard trailing 0 of numeric values. This fixes issue #6.

ggplate 0.0.1

• First release version.
