Version 0.5.2 fixes several bugs.
Tag: ggpmisc
ggpmisc 0.5.1
Version 0.5.1 brings additional enhancements to the annotations based on model fits. These enhancements improve traceability by updating statistics to return additional information about the fitted models. Functions in ‘ggplot2’ that had been earlier announced as being at their end-of-life have now been deprecated. Some instances aes_() had remained lingering in the code and had to be replaced by aes() .
ggpmisc 0.5.0
Version 0.5.0 (previously announced as 0.4.8) brings enhancements to the annotations based on model fits. The most significant change for all users is the new convenience function use_label() that greatly simplifies the assembly of labels from components and their mapping to aesthetics. We examplify its use and some of the other new features. It also contains two changes that are not backwards compatible and that can in isolated cases break existing code (hence the version-number change into 0.5.0).
ggpmisc 0.4.7
Version 0.4.7 brings a fix for a bug that could prevent the use of weights passed through aesthetic weight in some of the model-fitting statistics. Several enhancements to the model fitting statistics make it easier to fit different models to different groups or panels, and make it possible/easier to select among methods supported by a model fit function.
ggpmisc 0.4.6
Version 0.4.6 fixes a significant bug occasionally affecting highlighting and labelling of peaks and valleys. Even though when triggered the problem is easily detectable by looking at the plot, please, update.
Changes compared to version 0.4.5, the previous version in CRAN are:
- Fix bug in
stat_peaks() and stat_valleys(). They could return wrong values for peaks and valleys if the rows in data in the ggplot object were not sorted by the value of x.

ggpmisc 0.4.5
Version 0.4.5 includes a minor bugfix and an edit in vignette examples, to ensure compatibility with the upcoming version of package ‘ggpp’.
Changes compared to version 0.4.4, the previous version in CRAN are:
- Decrease version of ‘gginnards’ in suggests.
- Edit vignette examples to allow renaming a geom exported by ‘ggpp’ (retaining backwards compatibility).

ggpmisc 0.4.4
Version 0.4.4 includes enhancements. An issue raised in GitHub and a question in StackOverflow asked for the possibility of changing how fitted lines are plotted based on the “goodness” of the fit. In addition an old question in StackOverflow highlighted the need of more intuitive support for annotations based on stats::cor.test(). In addition to implementing these enhancements we continued adding support for flipping of statistics controlled through formal parameter orientation as implemented in ‘ggplot2’ since version 3.3.0.
Changes compared to version 0.4.3, the previous version in CRAN are:
- Add new function
stat_correlation() to annotate plots with correlation estimates, their P-value, a test statistic and n computed with stats::cor.test(). In addition to formatted character strings, numeric values are included in the returned data frame to facilitate conditional display.
- Update
stat_poly_line() to optionally add columns n, p.value, r.squared , adj.r.squared and method to the returned data frame. Code breaking: This statistic no longer supports fitting of splines with methods such as loess . This could potentially break user code, in which case the solution is to use stat_smooth().
- Update
stat_ma_line() to optionally add columns n, p.value, r.squared and method to the returned data frame. (As only a slope can be fitted, adj.r.squared is irrelevant.)
- Update
stat_quant_line() and stat_quant_band() to optionally add n and method columns to the returned data frame. (No exact equivalent of r.squared exists for quantile regression.)
- Update
stat_fit_residuals() to optionally return weighted
residuals.
- Update
stat_peaks() and stat_valleys() to allow flipping with new parameter orientation.

Version 0.4.3 contain the bug fix implemented in version 0.4.2-2, which did not make it to CRAN. (See bug listed under 1. in the post ggpmisc 0.4.2.)
New
- Add
stat_ma_line() and stat_ma_eq() implementing support for major axis (MA), standard major axis (SMA), ranged major axis (RMA) and ordinary least squares (OLS) using function lmodel2() from package ‘lmodel2’.

ggpmisc 0.4.2
During the major updates to 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 some bugs slipped through various tests. Versions 0.4.2, 0.4.2-1 and 0.4.2-2 contain fixes to these bugs. The bug fixed in 0.4.2-2 triggered an error only when R had been built with specific compilers.
Bugs fixed
- Error in
stat_poly_eq() and stat_quant_eq() under some Linux builds of R, including when used in RStudio Cloud. This bug did not affect Windows.
- Failure to find
after_stat() when instead of attaching the package with library(ggpmisc) statistics were called using the ggpmisc::<name> notation.
- Remove or convert to suggests some dependencies no longer needed after the split of ‘ggpp’.

Overview
This update is special in that it was built with the input of excellent ideas and code contributions from users. I learnt a lot myself and these improvements have made ‘ggpmisc’ more useful in general and for myself. Support for quantile regression is now, I hope, close to its final shape. Support for the new ‘ggplot2’ feature: orientation is implemented in the statistics where it is most useful, and can be also be changed, more intuitively, through the model formula. Of the planned enhancements, implementing support for major axis regression, remains in the to do list. Both stat_poly_eq() and stat_quant_eq() now return additional labels, plus some numeric values to facilitate conditional display. Much of the code used to generate the text labels has been improved, and markdown formatting tested.
The suggestion from Mark Neal of adding support for quantile regression partly addressed in ggpmisc 0.4.0 has lead to additional enhancements in this version. The idea of supporting confidence bands for quantile regression came from Samer Mouksassi who also provided code and examples for different types of quantile regression. Additional suggestions from Mark Neal, Carl and other users have lead to bug fixes as well as to an interface with better defaults for arguments (see issue #1).
Changes compared to ‘ggpmisc’ 0.4.0
Enhancements
- Support robust regression using
rlm and the use of function objects as argument to method in stat_poly_eq().
- Support in
stat_poly_eq() and stat_quant_eq() formula = x ~ y and other models in which the explanatory variable is y in addition to models with x as explanatory variable.
stat_poly_eq() and stat_quant_eq() now pass to the geom by default a suitable value as argument to parse depending on output.type (enhancement suggested by Mark Neal in issue #11).stat_poly_eq() and stat_quant_eq() return the coefficient estimates as numeric columns in data when output.type = "numeric" (problem with coefs.ls reported by cgnolte in issue #12).stat_poly_eq() now supports optional use of lower case for r2 and p-value.- Revise
stat_poly_eq() and stat_quant_eq() so that by default they keep trailing zeros according to the numbers of significant digits given by coef.digits. A new parameter coef.keep.zeros can be set to FALSE to restore the deletion of trailing zeros. Trailing zeros in the equation will be rendered to the plot only if output.type is other than "expression".
- Add
stat_poly_line(), a new interface to ggplot2::stat_smooth() accepting formula = x ~ y and other models in which the explanatory variable is y rather than x or setting orientation = "y". In contrast to ggplot2::stat_smooth(), stat_poly_line() has always "lm" as default method.
- Add
stat_quant_line() which is an adaptation of ggplot2::stat_smooth() and ggplot2::stat_quantile() accepting formula = x ~ y and other models in which the explanatory variable is y rather than x or setting orientation = "y" to fit models with x as explanatory variable. This change makes it possible to add to a plot a double quantile regression. stat_quant_line() supports plotting of confidence bands for quantile regression using ggplot2::geom_smooth() to create the plot layer.
- Add
stat_quant_band() which plots quantile regressions for three quantiles as a band plus a line, accepting formula = x ~ y and other models in which the explanatory variable is y rather than x or setting orientation = "y" to fit models with x as explanatory variable.
- Add support for quantile regression
rq, robust regression rlm, and resistant regression lqs and function objects to stat_fit_residuals() and stat_fit_deviations().
- Support use of
stat_fit_residuals() and stat_fit_deviations() with formula = x ~ y and other models in which the explanatory variable is y in addition to models with x as explanatory variable.
- Add
weights to returned values by stat_fit_residuals() and stat_fit_deviations() and add support for the weight aesthetic as input for parameter weights of model fit functions.
Bugs fixed
- Fix bug in
stat_poly_eq() and stat_quant_eq() resulting in mishandling of formulas using the + 0 notation (reported by orgadish in issue #10).
- Fix bug in
stat_poly_eq() and stat_quant_eq() resulting in bad/non-syntactical character strings for eq.label when output.type was different from its default of "expression".

ggpmisc 0.4.0 and ggpp 0.4.0
The main change is the split of package ‘ggpmisc’ into two packages. Starting from this version, package ‘ggpmisc’ focuses only on plot annotations related to model fits and statistical summaries. The new package ‘ggpp’ contains generally useful extensions to the grammar of graphics such as new geometries and position functions. As package ‘ggpmisc’ loads package ‘ggpp’ the migration should have minimal if any impact on users’ code. Package ‘ggpp’ will be most useful to authors of packages that currently import ‘ggpmisc’, including myself. It is good to be aware that the split almost exactly follows the subject matter of the two vignettes previously part of ‘ggpmisc’. When using ‘ggpmisc’, users will notice that some functions have migrated only when consulting the documentation.
‘ggpp’
The package documentation web site at: https://docs.r4photobiology.info/ggpp/ includes a changelog.
Compared to ‘ggpmisc’ 0.3.9, the following changes have been introduced. New justification styles have being implemented to complement position_nudge_center(). They are supported in geom_text_linked(), geom_plot(), geom_table(), geom_grob() and geom_marging_grob(). In the current implementation all rows in data should contain the same hjust or vjust value when using the new types of justification described here, this seems reasonable as they compute the individual justification values from the data. All other justification values, either numeric or character do not have this restriction and can be used as in geoms from ‘ggplot2’. These new features may change in the near future.
- Rename
geom_text_linked().
- Implement justifications
"outward_mean", "inward_mean", "outward_median" and "inward_median" so that outward and inward are with respect to the centroid of the data instead of to the middle of the x or y scales. This should be useful in combination with position_nudge_center().
- Implement justifications
"outward_nnn" and "inward_nnn" so that outward and inward are with respect to the number resulting from applying as.numeric() to the characters that replace nnn. For example strings like "outward_0.5", "inward_3e5" or "outward_-3e-2" are supported. This should be useful when manual tweaking is desired. As special cases "outward_0" and "inward_0" apply justification outward and inward with respect to the origin. This should be useful for biplots used for PCA and similar cases with arrows radiating out of the origin. (The "outward" and "inward" justification implemented in ‘ggplot2’ is relative to the middle of the x or y scales.)
- Revise
compute_npcx() and compute_npcy() to support multiple steps per group (needed in ‘ggpmisc’).
- Fix problem related to
"outward" and "inward" justification of text labels when angle aesthetic takes values < -45 or > 45 degrees. This code change alters how old plots are rendered if text labels have been rotated by more than 45 degrees.
- [‘ggplot2’, ‘ggrepel’] The problem with angle was a “bug” in ‘ggplot2’ also present in ‘ggrepel’. A pull request for
ggplot2::geom_text() has been submitted and merged. This is now in the ‘ggplot2’ 3.3.4 milestone retaining consistent behaviour between ‘ggplot2’, ‘ggrepel’, ‘ggpp’ and ‘ggpmisc’.
Please raise issues concerning bugs or enhancements to this package through GitHub at https://github.com/aphalo/ggpp/issues. Pull requests are also welcome.
‘ggpmisc’
The package documentation web site at: https://docs.r4photobiology.info/ggpmisc/ includes a changelog.
Changes from ‘ggpmisc’ version 0.3.9, the most recent CRAN release, are:
- Add
stat_quant_eq() based on quantile regression as implemented in package ‘quantreg’. (enhancement suggested by Mark Neal)
- Add
n.label and n to the values returned by stat_poly_eq() and stat_quant_eq(). (enhancement suggested by a question from ganidat)
- Add
r.squared, adj.r.squared, p.value and n as numeric to values returned in addition to the corresponding character labels when stat_poly_eq() is called with output.type other than numeric. Similarly for n and rho in the case of stat_quant_eq(). (enhancement suggested by a question from Tiptop)
- Fix bug in stat_poly_eq() leading to empty returned value when data contains too few observations to fit the model. (reported by ganidat)
- Add support for quantile regression
rq, robust regression rlm, and resistant regression lqs and function objects to stat_fit_deviations().

Acknowlegements: I thank Kamil Slowikowski for his contributions of ideas and for his willingness to keep the development of our packages coordinated. This update was done in part to address questions raised and reports of bugs by users, which I thank. The tag [ggpmisc] is in use at stackoverflow for questions related to the use these two packages. I thank Mark Neal for the suggestion that lead to the new statistic stat_quant_eq() and for his help during its testing. I thank Stackoverflow users ganidat and Tiptop for enhancement ideas.

The online vignettes include the output of all code examples, while the vignettes as included in the package, contain the output of only a subset of the code examples so as to keep the documentation at a reasonable size for package distribution.
NOTE: The new package ‘ggpp’ (0.4.0) is in CRAN and updated ‘ggpmisc’ (0.4.0) is on its way to CRAN. The latest development versions of both packages can be installed from GitHub.

ggpmisc 0.3.9
Package ‘ggpmisc’ focuses mainly on plot annotations. The new version fixes minor bugs and adds a major new feature: position functions for data aware nudging. These nudge functions were born out of an exchange of ideas with Kamil Slowikowski, the author and maintainer of the very popular package ‘ggrepel’. We are currently considering how to make them compatible with geom_text_repel() and geom_label_repel().
The package documentation web site at: https://docs.r4photobiology.info/ggpmisc/ now includes a changelog, so I am brief here.
Changes from version 0.3.8, the most recent CRAN release, are:
- Update the documentation of
geom_plot().
- [Under development!] Link repositioned text to its original position with a segment or arrow:
geom_linked_text(). Except for
the drawing of segments or arrows this new geometry behaves as ggplot2::geom_text() . Note: Segments and arrows are drawn only
if the position function used returns both the repositioned and original coordinates.
- Add support for advanced nudging:
position_nudge_centre() and position_nudge_line() compute the direction of nudging and return
both the nudged and original positions.
- Add support for simple nudging:
position_nudge_to() nudges to new user-supplied position(s); position_nudge_keep() nudges to
position(s) based on user-supplies position shift. These functions return both nudged and original position(s).
Example: Nudging text labels away from a curve.
library(ggpmisc)
set.seed(16532)
df <- data.frame(
x = -10:10,
y = (-10:10)^2 + rnorm(21, 0, 4),
l = letters[1:21]
)
ggplot(df, aes(x, y, label = l)) +
geom_point() +
stat_smooth(method = "lm", formula = y ~ poly(x, 2, raw = TRUE)) +
geom_text(aes(y = y, label = l),
position = position_nudge_line(method = "lm",
x = 0.4,
y = 4,
formula = y ~ poly(x, 2, raw = TRUE),
direction = "split"))
Nudging of text labels away from a curve.
Roadmap: A split of the ‘ggpmisc’ package into two packages, one including the extensions to the grammar of graphics and another one including the functions related to plot annotations based on model fitting and statistical summaries seems necessary as the package has grown to include several extensions to the grammar of graphics that are generally useful. We are also working on improved inter-operation between ‘ggpmisc’ and ‘ggrepel’.

ggpmisc 0.4.0 and ggpp 0.4.0
The main change is the split of package ‘ggpmisc’ into two packages. Starting from this version, package ‘ggpmisc’ focuses only on plot annotations related to model fits and statistical summaries. The new package ‘ggpp’ contains generally useful extensions to the grammar of graphics such as new geometries and position functions. As package ‘ggpmisc’ loads package ‘ggpp’ the migration should have minimal if any impact on users’ code. Package ‘ggpp’ will be most useful to authors of packages that currently import ‘ggpmisc’, including myself. It is good to be aware that the split almost exactly follows the subject matter of the two vignettes previously part of ‘ggpmisc’. When using ‘ggpmisc’, users will notice that some functions have migrated only when consulting the documentation.
‘ggpp’
The package documentation web site at: https://docs.r4photobiology.info/ggpp/ includes a changelog.
Compared to ‘ggpmisc’ 0.3.9, the following changes have been introduced. New justification styles have being implemented to complement position_nudge_center(). They are supported in geom_text_linked(), geom_plot(), geom_table(), geom_grob() and geom_marging_grob(). In the current implementation all rows in data should contain the same hjust or vjust value when using the new types of justification described here, this seems reasonable as they compute the individual justification values from the data. All other justification values, either numeric or character do not have this restriction and can be used as in geoms from ‘ggplot2’. These new features may change in the near future.
- Rename
geom_text_linked(). - Implement justifications
"outward_mean","inward_mean","outward_median"and"inward_median"so that outward and inward are with respect to the centroid of the data instead of to the middle of the x or y scales. This should be useful in combination withposition_nudge_center(). - Implement justifications
"outward_nnn"and"inward_nnn"so that outward and inward are with respect to the number resulting from applyingas.numeric()to the characters that replacennn. For example strings like"outward_0.5","inward_3e5"or"outward_-3e-2"are supported. This should be useful when manual tweaking is desired. As special cases"outward_0"and"inward_0"apply justification outward and inward with respect to the origin. This should be useful for biplots used for PCA and similar cases with arrows radiating out of the origin. (The"outward"and"inward"justification implemented in ‘ggplot2’ is relative to the middle of the x or y scales.) - Revise
compute_npcx()andcompute_npcy()to support multiple steps per group (needed in ‘ggpmisc’). - Fix problem related to
"outward"and"inward"justification of text labels whenangleaesthetic takes values < -45 or > 45 degrees. This code change alters how old plots are rendered if text labels have been rotated by more than 45 degrees. - [‘ggplot2’, ‘ggrepel’] The problem with angle was a “bug” in ‘ggplot2’ also present in ‘ggrepel’. A pull request for
ggplot2::geom_text()has been submitted and merged. This is now in the ‘ggplot2’ 3.3.4 milestone retaining consistent behaviour between ‘ggplot2’, ‘ggrepel’, ‘ggpp’ and ‘ggpmisc’.

‘ggpmisc’
The package documentation web site at: https://docs.r4photobiology.info/ggpmisc/ includes a changelog.
Changes from ‘ggpmisc’ version 0.3.9, the most recent CRAN release, are:
- Add
stat_quant_eq()based on quantile regression as implemented in package ‘quantreg’. (enhancement suggested by Mark Neal) - Add
n.labelandnto the values returned bystat_poly_eq()andstat_quant_eq(). (enhancement suggested by a question from ganidat) - Add
r.squared,adj.r.squared,p.valueandnasnumericto values returned in addition to the correspondingcharacterlabels whenstat_poly_eq()is called withoutput.typeother thannumeric. Similarly fornandrhoin the case of stat_quant_eq(). (enhancement suggested by a question from Tiptop) - Fix bug in stat_poly_eq() leading to empty returned value when data contains too few observations to fit the model. (reported by ganidat)
- Add support for quantile regression
rq, robust regressionrlm, and resistant regressionlqsand function objects tostat_fit_deviations().

Documentation web sites at https://docs.r4photobiology.info/ggpmisc/ and https://docs.r4photobiology.info/ggpp/ include all help pages, with output from all examples, and vignettes in HTML format. The online vignettes include the output of all code examples, while the vignettes as included in the package, contain the output of only a subset of the code examples so as to keep the documentation at a reasonable size for package distribution.
NOTE: The new package ‘ggpp’ (0.4.0) is in CRAN and updated ‘ggpmisc’ (0.4.0) is on its way to CRAN. The latest development versions of both packages can be installed from GitHub.

ggpmisc 0.3.9
Package ‘ggpmisc’ focuses mainly on plot annotations. The new version fixes minor bugs and adds a major new feature: position functions for data aware nudging. These nudge functions were born out of an exchange of ideas with Kamil Slowikowski, the author and maintainer of the very popular package ‘ggrepel’. We are currently considering how to make them compatible with geom_text_repel() and geom_label_repel().
The package documentation web site at: https://docs.r4photobiology.info/ggpmisc/ now includes a changelog, so I am brief here.
Changes from version 0.3.8, the most recent CRAN release, are:
- Update the documentation of
geom_plot(). - [Under development!] Link repositioned text to its original position with a segment or arrow:
geom_linked_text(). Except for
the drawing of segments or arrows this new geometry behaves asggplot2::geom_text(). Note: Segments and arrows are drawn only
if the position function used returns both the repositioned and original coordinates. - Add support for advanced nudging:
position_nudge_centre()andposition_nudge_line()compute the direction of nudging and return
both the nudged and original positions. - Add support for simple nudging:
position_nudge_to()nudges to new user-supplied position(s);position_nudge_keep()nudges to
position(s) based on user-supplies position shift. These functions return both nudged and original position(s).
Example: Nudging text labels away from a curve.
library(ggpmisc)
set.seed(16532)
df <- data.frame(
x = -10:10,
y = (-10:10)^2 + rnorm(21, 0, 4),
l = letters[1:21]
)
ggplot(df, aes(x, y, label = l)) +
geom_point() +
stat_smooth(method = "lm", formula = y ~ poly(x, 2, raw = TRUE)) +
geom_text(aes(y = y, label = l),
position = position_nudge_line(method = "lm",
x = 0.4,
y = 4,
formula = y ~ poly(x, 2, raw = TRUE),
direction = "split"))
Nudging of text labels away from a curve.
Roadmap: A split of the ‘ggpmisc’ package into two packages, one including the extensions to the grammar of graphics and another one including the functions related to plot annotations based on model fitting and statistical summaries seems necessary as the package has grown to include several extensions to the grammar of graphics that are generally useful. We are also working on improved inter-operation between ‘ggpmisc’ and ‘ggrepel’.
