latticeExtra 0.6-30 (2022-07-04)

• Replace non-free 'tripack' package functions by 'interp'.

latticeExtra 0.6-18 (2011-06-08)

• combineLimits() fixed to work with empty panels.

latticeExtra 0.6-15

• graphical parameters vectorized in panel.3dbars().
• new panel function panel.ellipse().
• panel.xyarea() gains a 'horizontal' argument.
• layer() now works with splom.
• panel.ellipse() [was introduced previously but not mentioned here].
• changes to panel.smoother,quantile,xyarea to work with the new 'col' default in panel.superpose(): now "black" rather than NA.

latticeExtra 0.6-14 (2010-08-01)

• new combineLimits() function for per-row and per-column limits.
• new functions xscale.components.* and yscale.components.* where * is in {logpower,fractions,log10ticks,log10.3,subticks}.
• horizonplot substantially revised, with an argument 'horizonscale' (actually for prepanel), "free" scales and colorkey support. Also the default colors are better now (thanks to Joseph Guillaume).
• new functions ggplot2like(), ggplot2like.opts() and axis.grid().
• new functions theEconomist.opts() and theEconomist.axis().
• panel.mapplot() now takes an 'exact' argument, similar to map().
• new function panel.key().
• c.trellis() and doubleYScale() now have an option to merge legends.
• c.trellis(), as.layer() and doubleYScale() now try to combine 'par.settings' from multiple plots.
• doubleYScale() now accepts an 'under' argument (applies to 2nd plot).
• marginal.plot() now has a default cut = 0.
• layer() failed on expressions with missing arguments, like x[,1].
• removed the deprecated arguments to layer(), 'eval' and 'etc'.
• simpleSmoothTs() and panel.tskernel() used an incorrect (reversed) filter in the case of sides = 1 and c > 1.
• as.layer() was not keeping existing scales if x.same or y.same = FALSE.
• xyplot.list() now applies 'FUN' directly, avoiding some evaluation issues.
• the 'style' argument to layer() now applies to the "superpose" styles also, which fixes some cases with xyplot.ts.
• the 'zoo' methods for panel.xblocks() and panel.xyarea() now use coredata() rather than as.vector(), so can keep factors intact.

latticeExtra 0.6-10

• support arrows with panel.segplot.
• several changes to panel.xblocks().
• layer() now has a 'magicdots' argument, which is TRUE by default.
• use of the 'eval' and 'etc' arguments to layer() are now deprecated.
• new function simpleSmoothTs (calculations as in panel.tskernel).
• panel.tskernel() gains a new argument 'n' (default 300) to reduce the number of plotted points.
• panel.qqmath.tails() is now deprecated as its main functionality has been moved into panel.qqmath() (in lattice 0.18-4, from R 2.11.0).
• glayer() was failing on plots with an existing 'panel.groups'.
• panel.smoother() now omits non-finite values and converts to numeric.
• panel.xyarea() (and thus horizonplot()) now handles missing values.

latticeExtra 0.6-6 (2010-02-08)

• xyplot.ts actually removed now (forgot to delete it after lattice release).
• new function horizonplot().
• fixed rescaling bug in panel.tskernel(..., sides = 1).
• mapplot can now take colramp = NULL to use the current theme.

latticeExtra 0.6-5 (2010-01-17)

• new panel functions panel.smoother() and panel.quantile(). The latter requires the quantreg package.
• new panel function panel.tskernel().
• layer() rewritten and now has several new arguments. New convenience functions layer_(), glayer(), etc.
• new functions theEconomist.theme() and asTheEconomist().
• custom.theme() gains a '...' argument passed to simpleTheme. Added a variant custom.theme.2() with different defaults.
• expanded xyplot.ts() and moved it to the lattice package.
• improved handling of colours in panel.xblocks(). Added several more examples to the help page.
• fixed panel.xblocks() to handle cases of no missing data.

latticeExtra 0.6-4 (2009-10-27)

• as.layer() gains arguments x.same and y.same.

latticeExtra 0.6-2

• new functions 'panel.xblocks', 'panel.qqmath.tails', 'panel.xyarea' and 'panel.qqmath.xyarea'.
• added explicit 'layout' argument to 'marginal.plot' (was clobbered by the default NULL in 'c.trellis').
• 'c.trellis' handles 'subscripts' argument to prepanel functions.

latticeExtra 0.6-1 (2009-06-22)

• fixed 'layout' argument to 'xyplot.list' and 'c.trellis'.

latticeExtra 0.6-0 (2009-06-20)

• new function xyplot.list, to create and merge multiple plots (and not just xyplots).
• c.trellis will now set same scales properly when x/y.same=TRUE.
• new function doubleYScale, to easily overlay two plot series.
• new functions panel.lmlineq and panel.ablineq for line equations.
• marginal.plot handles non-syntactic variable names; also now coerces to data.frame (so e.g. works with a matrix).
• changes to default axis style in marginal.plot.
• new dataset EastAuClimate.

latticeExtra 0.5-4 (2008-10-31)

• marginal.plot now handles table objects sensibly.
• marginal.plot now applies 'subset' to 'groups', as it should.

latticeExtra 0.5-3 (2008-10-10)

• improvements to marginal.plot including support for groups.
• fix to marginal.plot: failed with only numeric variables.
• fix to panel.voronoi (with use.tripack = FALSE): wrong colors were used when xlim/ylim enclosed a data subset.
• new function 'as.layer' and a method 'as.layer.trellis'. This allows panels to be overlaid with independent x/y scales. Previous Changes
• several new data sets and a few utility functions
• dendrogramGrob to produce a dendrogram that can be used as a legend
• new generic function 'gplot' -- like 'plot', but meant to produce a ‘grouped’ Trellis plot. Methods can be defined for objects that already have a 'plot' method. API Currently unstable.
