ggplot2 0.9.3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------
BUG FIXES
* The theme element `legend.box.just` now can be set. It was not properly
recognized before.
* `stat_density2d` previously resulted in errors when geom="polygon". This
is fixed. (Fixes #741 and #749)
* `annotation_logticks` previously drew one set of logticks for each group,
and inherited aesthetic mappings like colour. It no longer does this. (Fixes
#767)
* Plots with geom_crossbar not display correct symbol in legend. (Fixes #768)
* Grouping is no longer set automatically by `stat_summary()`, allowing for
summary paths. This reverts a change made for 0.9.3. (Fixes #732 and #739)
ggplot2 0.9.3
----------------------------------------------------------------
* The `plotmatrix` function has been deprecated and prints a warning
message.
* `stat_bin` now produces warning messages when it is used with set or
mapped y values. Previously, it was possible to use `stat_bin` and
also set/map y values; if there was one y value per group, it would
display the y values from the data, instead of the counts of cases for
each group. This usage is deprecated and will be removed in a future
version of ggplot2. (Winston Chang. Fixes #632)
* Several small changes were made so that ggplot2 is compatible with
plyr <= 1.7.1 as well as plyr > 1.7.1.
* `geom_polygon` draws multiple polygons as a single grob instead of as
separate grobs. This results in much better performance. For example,
drawing a world map is about 12 times faster. (Winston Chang. Fixes #666)
MINOR FEATURES
* A new theme `theme_minimal` has been added. This theme is based on
`theme_bw`, but does not have outlines around many of the rectangular
elements. (Baptiste Auguie)
* A new theme `theme_classic` has been added. This theme has is based on
`theme_bw`. It has x and y axis lines, but no box around the plotting area
and no grid lines. (Thanks to David Kahle)
* `geom_segment` allows setting `lineend`. (Jean-Olivier Irisson)
* `ggsave` raises an error when making images larger than 50x50 inches.
This prevents accidentally creating extremely large bitmap images that
hang R and eat up memory. (Winston Chang. Fixes #517)
* `train_cartesian` and `train_trans` are no longer memoized. Previously
the results of these functions were saved and so they would not
respond changes in the operating environment, such as a change in
locale. (Winston Chang. Fixes #592)
* In `stat_ydensity` and `geom_violin`, the `scale` argument now accepts
the value "width", for equal widths. Additionally `scale="equal"` has
been deprecated, in favor of "area". (Jean-Olivier Irisson)
* `stat_quantile` now supports `rqss`.
* `scale_size_area` has been added as a replacement for `scale_area`. This
makes the naming more consistent. The new scale also by default makes the
area of points proportional to the value, which is different from what
`scale_area` does. (Fixes #635)
* Functions now have gradual deprecation behavior with the `gg_dep` function.
* Scales for required but missing aesthetics (x and y) are now automatically
added. (Fixes #676)
* `geom_crossbar` previous raised a warning when notches were used and the
notches went outside the hinges. This has been changed to a message.
BUG FIXES
* With `geom_segment`, when a variable mapped to `linetype` had an NA
value, it would raise an error. This is now fixed. (Winston Chang.
Fixes #623)
* When using `coord_map` with some projections, latitude lines wrapped
around the globe and added extra lines. (Winston Chang. Fixes #562)
* `stat_summary` now calculates a unique value at each x. (Winston
Chang. Fixes #622)
* Colorbar guides now supports language objects returned from functions
like `math_format()`, and will render them as expressions. (Kohske
Takahashi)
* When using `coord_polar`, NA or NaN values caused errors. They are now
ignored instead. (Winston Chang)
* Text theme elements used in `guide_legend`, such as `label.theme`, caused
confusing errors when the angle wasn't set. Now it produces a more
informative error message.
* Theme elements now have their subclass listed first, before the `element`
class. (Thanks to Jeffrey Arnold)
* Previously when free scales were used with non-cartesian coords, they just
wouldn't work. Now ggplot throws an error with an informative message.
(Fixes #673)
* `geom_dotplot` previously worked with `position="dodge", but did not work
when using `position=position_dodge()`. It now works with both. (Fixes
#709)
* For linetype scales, NA values previously caused errors. Now `na.value`
for linetype scales defaults to "blank". (Fixes #711)
ggplot2 0.9.2.1
----------------------------------------------------------------
BUG FIXES
* find_global now searches for objects in the namespace environment
instead of the package environment. This fixes problems when ggplot2
is imported to another package but not attached.
ggplot2 0.9.2
----------------------------------------------------------------
THEME SYSTEM
* The theme system has been completely rewritten. (Winston Chang)
* The functions `theme_text`, `theme_line`, and so on have been renamed to
`element_text`, `element_line`, and so on.
* The `opts()` function has been renamed to `theme()`.
* To set the plot title, use `labs(title = "...")` or `ggtitle("...")
instead of `opts(title = "...")`.
* Elements are now just lists of properties, instead of functions that
return grobs.
* Theme elements now can inherit properties. For example, `axis.title.x`
inherits properties from `axis.title`, which in turn inherits from
`text`. The inheritance tree is stored in ggplot2::.element_tree.
* Theme objects can now be added to each other with `+`, without a ggplot
object. There is also a new `%replace%` operator for adding theme
objects together.
* Vertical and horizontal grid lines can now be controlled independently,
with `axis.grid.major.x`, `axis.grid.major.y` (and the same for minor);
`axis.ticks.x` and `axis.ticks.y`; and `axis.line.x` and `axis.line.y`.
* The `size` property of theme elements can be defined relative to the
parent objects, using the `rel()` function.
MINOR FEATURES
* ggplot2 now uses the external gtable package instead of internal gtable
functions.
* The condition that set parameters (e.g. `colour = "red"`) could only be of
length one has been relaxed - they may now be of length one, or exactly the
same length as the data. Recycling is not done because it makes it harder to
spot problems. This makes `annotate` considerably more flexible. (Fixes
#489)
* `stat_contour` is now somewhat faster
* new stat class `stat_ecdf` that shows empirical cumulative distribution
function. (Kohske Takahashi)
* Dependency on `gpclib` removed, and `fortify.SpatialPolygonsDataFrame` will
now use `rgeos` if available - this is particularly useful if you're not
able to use the non-free `gpclib`.
* `ggsave` now supports emf output files.
* all "template" plots (`plotmatrix`, `ggorder` etc) have been deprecated and
will be removed in a future version. These plots are poorly tested and
poorly supported and really belong in a separate package.
* The default guide for continuous color/fill scale is now colourbar.
(Kohske Takahashi. Fixes #555)
* The arrowhead of geom-path and geom-segment with `arrow = TRUE` is
now filled with the same colour as the path.
* The algorithm for calculating breaks locations has been changed from
`pretty_breaks()` to `extended_breaks()` from the 'labeling' package
by Justin Talbot. (Winston Chang. Fixes #580)
* `scale_type`, the function used to pick which type of scale should be
used for a given type of input variable is now an S3 generic. That
means that if you want to add a new default type of scale you can
provide a method - it should return a string giving the name of the
scale to use (e.g. "continuous", "discrete", "date")
* When there are multiple guides (legends), the order that they are
displayed can now be controlled manually. (Kohske Takahashi. Fixes
#470)
* When a scale for a given aesthetic is added to a plot more than once,
display a message indicating that the first scale will be replaced.
(Winston Chang. Fixes #518)

* All geoms and stats now document their aesthetics. (Thanks to joranE.
Fixes #447)
BUG FIXES
* `scale_x_continuous` now respects `na.value` (Fixes #522)
* `geom_map` now correctly uses set aesthetics (e.g. `colour = "green"`)

errors. (Kohske Takahashi. Fixes #552)
* `facet_locate` no longer evaluates unneeded expressions. (Winston
Chang. Fixes #565)
* `annotation_map` now gets group id from munched data. (Winston Chang.
Fixes #568)
* `geom_raster` now supports alpha. (Kohske Takahashi. Fixes #596)
* Both axis lines are now drawn above the plotting area panel.
(Winston Chang. Fixes #585)
* The jitter resolution is now correctly calculated when the data
does _not_ include zero. (Thanks to Karl Ove Hufthammer. Fixes #572)
* Legend icons for `geom_boxplot` now display linetype. (Kohske
Takahashi. Fixes #608)
* Facets now appear in the correct order when layers with different
factor levels are added. (Winston Chang. Fixes #543)

instead of straight-line distance. (Winston Chang. Fixes #471)
* `fortify.SpatialPolygonsDataFrame` now uses the correct ordering.
(Charlotte Wickham. Fixes #434)

`xintercept` and `yintercept` are passed to them. (Winston Chang.
Fixes #624)
ggplot2 0.9.1
----------------------------------------------------------------
MINOR FEATURES
* `ggstructure` and `ggorder`, which call `ggpcp`, no longer have a
`scale` argument since `ggpcp` does not have one.
* built in datasets have been checked to make sure they use characters,
factors and ordered factors appropriately
* `geom_raster` and `annotation_raster` gain new `interpolate` argument for
controlling whether or not rasters are interpolated
* Added `plot` as an alias for `print` for ggplot objects.
* Visual tests have been moved to /visual_test and modified to work with the
vtest package. (Thanks to Winston Chang)
* `geom_dotplot`: now supports stacking. It uses `stackgroups = TRUE` instead
of the usual position="stack", for technical reasons. It also will stack in
the x direction when binning along the y axis. (Thanks to Winston Chang)
* `geom_rug` now allows control over which sides to put the rug lines, with
the `sides` argument. (Thanks to Winston Chang)
* `annotation_logticks`: a new geom that adds tick marks on the inside of the
plotting rectangle that have diminishing spacing for log-10 axes. (Thanks
to Winston Chang)
* Coordinate expansion is now handled by an interaction of the scale and
coord, rather than by the scale only. Also, the `wise` argument is no
longer needed. (Thanks to Winston Chang and Kohske Takahashi)
BUG FIXES
* `facet_grid` no longer drops duplicate cases (Fixes #443)
* `munch_range` properly reports the x and y range. (Thanks to Winston Chang)
* `stat_bin2d` handles data with NA in the position variables. Error was
triggered when scale was limited to a range smaller than the range of
the data. (Bug reported by Tao Gao; diagnosed and fixed by Brian Diggs)
* `scale_*_identity` will now produce a legend when `guide = "legend"` and no
breaks or labels are supplied (Fixes #453)
* `geom_map` now works with `coord_map` (Fixes #480)
* discrete scales now accept named vectors of labels again (Fixes #427)
* `geom_raster` works better with categorical input (Fixes #463)
* `qplot` no longer uses non-standard evaluation for geom/stat arguments - it
doesn't seem to be needed and was causing problems when qplot was used in
special environments (e.g. in knitr) (Fixes #377)
* `coord_train.polar` and `coord_train.trans` remove NAs from breaks.
(Thanks to Winston Chang. Fixes #422)
* Theta breaks with `coord_polar` have equal angular spacing. (Thanks to
Winston Chang and Kohske Takahashi. Fixes #288)
* Empty data frames are now handled correctly: layers with empty data are
dropped silently, instead of inheriting data from the plot. (Thanks to
Winston Chang. Fixes #31, #332, #506 and #507)
* The alpha value of set colours is now preserved by default. To return to the
old behaviour, set `alpha = 1`. (Fixes #475)
* `scale_*_manual` will throw an error if you have too few values. (Fixes
#512)
* `facet_wrap` gets the `as.table` argument back. (Fixes #497)
* `resolution` now returns 1 when range is zero. (Fixes #526)
* Titles are displayed above legend when legend is on top. (Thanks to
Kohske Takahashi. Fixes #432)
* Specifying breaks outside coord limits works. (Thanks to Kohske Takahashi.
Fixes #430)
* `renames_aes` now uses exact matching instead of partial matching. (Thanks
to Winston Chang. Fixes #529)
* `labs()` now works with American spellings. (Thanks to Winston Chang.
Fixes #521)
* `stat_density2d` sets the limits for `kde2d` from the limits of the x and
y scales. (Thanks to Winston Chang)
ggplot2 0.9.0
----------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES
* `annotation_custom`: a new geom intended for use as static annnotations that
are the same in every panel. Can be used to add inset plots, tables, and
other grid-based decorations inside the plot area (Contributed by Baptiste
Auguié).
* `geom_map`: a new special case of `geom_polygon` useful when you are drawing
maps, particularly choropleth maps. It is matched with `annotation_map`, an
even faster special case when you want the same map drawn in each panel.
* `geom_raster` is a special case of `geom_tile` for equally sized rectangular
tiles. It uses the raster functionality of R graphics devices for massively
increased speed and much decreased file sizes. It is matched with
`annotation_raster`, an even faster special case, for when you want to draw
the same raster in each panel.
* `geom_violin`: an implementation of violin plots, which are a way of
visualizing kernel density estimates. (Thanks to Winston Chang)
* `geom_dotplot`: dot plots, as described in Wilkinson (1999). To bin the
data, it uses `stat_bindot` to bin the data, which has two methods: histodot
and dot-density. Histodot binning uses fixed-width bins just like
`stat_bin`, while dot-density binning uses variable-width bins. A new grob,
`grob_dotstack` is used to render the dots. (Thanks to Winston Chang)
* New fortify methods have been added for objects produced by the `multcomp`
package.
* `stat_summary2d` and `stat_summary_hex`. These are work like `stat_bin2d`
and stat_binhex but allow any summarisation function (instead of just
count). They are 2d analogs of `stat_summary`
* `facet_grid`: The space argument now supports `free_x` and `free_y` next to
`free` and `fixed, this allows the user to adjust the spatial scaling of the
facets in either the x or y direction. This is especially useful when the
scales are very different. In this case space = `free` could make some
facets very small. (Thanks to Willem Ligtenberg)
DOCUMENTATION
* Thorough clean up and checking, including documenting all arguments, adding
systematic cross-references, and adding commonly requested examples. Thanks
to Jake Russ and Dennis Murphy for the help.
* Complete series of aesthetics pages (grouped subsets of aesthetics) with
examples of how to use the major ones, see e.g. `?fill`, `?shape`, `?x`,
* Added a complete list of theme opts with usage examples in `?opts`
* Added "translate" pages to demonstrate usage between qplot and ggplot, GPL,
base and lattice graphics: `?translate_qplot_base`, `?translate_qplot_gpl`,
`?translate_qplot_lattice`, `?translate_qplot_ggplot`,
SCALES
* Scales have been rewritten to use the new `scales` package, which does a
much better job at defining what a scale is and making it easier for you to
create your own scales. Scales should now behave much more consistently, and
it should be easier for me to add new features in the future.
* `breaks` parameter can now be a function, which will be passed the scale
limits and expected to return a character vector of breaks
* `labels` parameter can now be a function - this replaces the previous
formatter function that only some scales possessed, and the `major` argument
to the data time scales. This function should take a vector of breaks as
input, and return a character vector or list of expressions as output. See
`comma_format`, `dollar_format`, `percent_format`, `scientific_format`,
`parse_format` and `math_format` for examples
* Transformations are now provided by the scales package - see `?trans_new`
for list of available transformations, and how to create your own. The
transformations in this package should do a better job at computing default
breaks.
* Transformations for continuous scales are now detected automatically when
the default scales are added. This ensures that dates and date times will
display correctly when used for any aesthetic - previously they only worked
with position scales. The system is now also easier to extend to new types
of continuous data that you might want to plot. (Fixes #48)
* All scales now accept a `na.value` parameter which provides an aesthetic
value to be used for `NA` values in the data. Colour/fill scales default to
grey, which should stand out as different from non-missing values.
* The new `oob` (out of bounds) parameter controls how scales deals with
values outside the limits. The default action is `censor` - see `clip` for
another option.
* Only `scale_x_log10`, `scale_x_sqrt` and `scale_x_reverse` provided as
convenience functions for x and y scales. Use e.g. `scale_x_continuous(trans
= "log")` to access others
* `set_default_scale` has been removed. If you want to change the default
scale for an aesthetic, just create a function called
`scale_aesthetic_continuous` or `scale_aesthetic_discrete` that returns the
scale that you want. For example:
p <- qplot(mpg, wt, data = mtcars, colour = factor(cyl))
p
scale_colour_discrete <- scale_colour_brewer
p
* Scales now automatically shrink to what is actually displayed on the plot,
not the underlying data used for statistical transformation. If you want the
old behaviour, supply `shrink = FALSE` to the facetting specification.
(Fixes #125)
* `scale_colour_gradient` and `scale_fill_gradient` now use a colour scheme
with constant hue but varying chroma and luminance. This is better because
it creates a natural ordering inline with the order of the colour values.
FACETS
* Converted from proto to S3 objects, and class methods (somewhat) documented
in `facet.r`. This should make it easier to develop new types of facetting
specifications.
* The new `facet_null` specification is applied in the default case of no
faceting. This special case is implemented more efficiently and results in
substantial performance improvements for non-facetted plots.
* Facetting variables will no longer interfere with aesthetic mappings -
`facet_wrap(~ colour)` will no longer affect the colour of points.
DEVELOPMENT
* ggplot2 has moved away from the two (!!) homegrown documentation systems
that it previously relied on, and now uses roxygen extensively. The current
downside is that this means that ggplot2 website can no longer be updated,
but I hope work with the `helpr` package will resolve that shortly.
* ggplot2 now uses a `NAMESPACE`, and only exports functions that should be
user visible - this should make it play considerably more nicely with other
packages in the R ecosystem. Note that this means you now need to explicitly
load `plyr` (and other packages) if you are using them elsewhere in your
code.
* ggplot2 now has a start on a set of automated tests. As this test suite
expands it will help me ensure that bugs stay fixed, and that old bugs don't
come back in new versions. A test suite also gives me more confidence when
I'm modifying code, which should help with general code quality.
COORDS
* Converted from proto to S3 objects, and class methods (somewhat) documented
in `coord.r`. This should make it easier to develop new types of coordinate
systems.
* Added a new method `coord_range` for finding the x and y range even after
coordinates have been transformed to other names (eg., theta and r). (Thanks
to Winston Chang)
RENDERING
* When printing a ggplot2 object, the rendered plot information is returned
invisibly. You can capture this with (e.g.) `x <- print(qplot(mpg, wt, data
= mtcars))` and in the future will be able to use it to get information
about the plot computations, such as the range of all the scales, and the
exact data that is plotted.
* Drawing a plot takes place in three documented steps: `ggplot_build` which
creates a list of data frames ready for rendering builds, `ggplot_gtable`
which creates a `gtable` of grobs, and `grid.draw` which renders the grobs
on screen. Each of these returns a data structure which should be useful for
understanding and modifying the rendered plot. This is still a work in
progress, so please ask questions if anything is confusing.
* The `drop` and `keep` parameters to `ggsave` and `print.ggplot` have been
dropped, as the data structure returned by `ggplot_gtable` is sufficiently
rich enough to remove the need for them.
* Axis labels are now centred underneath the panels (not the whole plot), and
stick close to the panels regardless of the aspect ratio.
GUIDES
* Guides (particularly legends) have been rewritten by Kohske Takahashi to
provide considerably more layout flexibility.
* `guide_legend` now supports multi-row/column legend and reversed order,
gives more flexible positioning of title and label, and can override
aesthetics settings. This is useful, for example, when alpha value in a
panel is very low but you want to show vivid legend.
* `guide_colorbar` is a guide specially for continuous colour scales as
produced by colour and fill scales.
MINOR CHANGES
* `geom_text` now supports `fontfamily`, `fontface`, and `lineheight`
aesthetics for finer control over text display. (Thanks to Kohske Takahashi
for the patch. Fixes #60)
* `collide`, which powers `position_dodge` and `position_stack`, now does not
error on single x values (Thanks to Brian Diggs for a fix. #157)
* `...` in `ggplot` now passed on to `fortify` method when used with an object
other than a data frame
* `geom_boxplot`: outlier colour and shape now default to values set by the
aesthetic mapping (thanks to suggestion by Ben Bolker), the width of the
median line is now `fatten` times the width of the other lines (thanks to
suggestion by Di Cook), and the line type can now be set. Notched box
plots are now supported by setting `notch = TRUE` (thanks to Winston Chang
for the patch).
* `ggsave` can work with cm and mm `units` (Thanks to patch from Jean-Olivier
Irisson)
* `scale_shape` finally returns an error when you try and use it with a
continuous variable
* `stat_contour` no longer errors if all breaks outside z range (fixes #195).
* `geom_text` remove rows with missing values with warning (fixes #191)
* New generic function `autoplot` for the creation of complete plots
specific to a given data structure. Default implementation throws
an error. It is designed to have implementations provided by other
packages. (Thanks to suggestion by Brian Diggs)
* `ggpcp` loses the `scale` argument because it relied on reshape(1) code
* `map_data` passes `...` on to `maps::map` (Fixes #223)
* `coord_fixed` accepts `xlim` and `ylim` parameters to zoom in on x and y
scales (Fixes #91)
* ggplot2 will occasionally display a useful hint or tip on startup. Use
`suppressPackageStartupMessages` to eliminate
* `stat_binhex` uses correct bin width for computing y axis bounds. (Fixes
#299, thanks to Dave Henderson for bug report and fix.)
* `stat_smooth` now adjusts confidence intervals from `loess` using a
t-based approximation
* `stat_smooth` reports what method is used when method is "auto". It also
picks the method based on the size of the largest group, not individually by
group. (Thanks to Winston Chang)
* `stat_bin` and `geom_histogram` now use right-open, left-closed intervals by
default. Use `right = TRUE` to return to previous behaviour.
* `geom_vline`, `geom_hline`, and `geom_abline` now work with non-Cartesian
coordinate systems. (Thanks to Winston Chang)

ggplot2 0.8.5
----------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES
* geom_text gains parse argument which makes it possible to display
expressions. (Implements #50)
* all scales now have legend parameter, which defaults to TRUE. Setting to
false will prevent that scale from contributing to the legend (Implements
#27)
* default axis labels and legend titles are now stored in the options, instead
of in each scale. This fixes a long standing bug where it was not easy to
set the label for computed variable, such as the y axis on a histogram.
Additionally, it means default scales are only added to the plot until just
prior to plotting, instead of the previous behaviour where scales where
added as layers were added - this could cause problems if you later modified
the underlying data. (Implements #28)
* coord_equal: when ratio = NULL (the default), it will adjust the aspect
ratio of the plot, rather than trying to extend the shortest axis.
* x and y positions can be set to Inf or -Inf to refer to the top/right and
bottom/left extents of the panel. (Implements #18)
* expand_limits(): a new function to make it easy to force the inclusion of
any set of values in the limits of any aesthetic.
NEW FEATURES (MINOR)
* aesthetics: when _setting_ an aesthetic, you may only set it to a single
value. This was always a good idea, but now it is enforced with an
informative error message.
* stat_contour bump up default number of contours
* stat_density2d: make number of grid points used for density estimation
user controllable (implements #9)
* geom_bin now allows you to set whether bins used intervals of the form
(a, b] or [a, b) with the "right" parameter (implements #20)
* geom_path: linejoin, lineend and linemitre are now user controllable
(implements #24)
* scales: all scales check that breaks are supplied if labels are, and
that breaks and labels are the same length (implements #40)
* scales: if breaks are a named vector, the names will be used as labels
(thanks to suggestion by David Kahle)
* scale_colour_gradient, scale_colour_gradient2 & scale_colour_gradientn now
have formatter argument to match scale_continuous
* updated citation to refer to the ggplot2 book
BUG FIXES
* coord_cartesian now correctly sets limits when one or both of the position
scales are non-linear. (fixes #17)
* coord_equal: now works with non-linear scales (fixes #13)
* coord_map sets aspect ratio correctly (fixes #4)
* coord_polar correctly combines labels on end of axis if expressions
(fixes #39)
* coord_trans now respects scale expand parameter (expansion occurs after
transformation) (fixes #14)
* facet_grid with scales = "free" and space = "free" now calculates space
correctly if the range of the scale is < 1 (fixes #1)
* facet_grid works once more when facetting with multiple variables in one
direction (fixes #11)
* facet_wrap now sets aspect ratio correctly
* facet_wrap now maintains original order of data
* geom_hline and geom_vline now work with coord_flip (fixes #30)
* geom_path drops missing values at start and end of each line (fixes #41)

scale_linetype_discrete added to scales to match naming convention of all
other scales (fixes #47)
* legends now correctly calculate label widths (fixes #38)
* legends will only merge if both the title and all labels are the same.
(fixes #16)
* legends: fix for bug #19: Legend with three constraints doesn't work
* stat_contour & stat_density2d: fix grouping bugs (issue #7)
* xlim, ylim: fix bug when setting limits of discrete scales

* aesthetics: corrected list of aesthetics to include american spelling of
colour as well as base R abbreviations
* aesthetics: fix bug in detecting which aesthetics are calculated
* aes_string treats NULL as "NULL"
* annotate now works with missing x and y (e.g. for geom_rect)
* continuous scale limits now automatically sorted
* coord_polar: fix bug if breaks not all inside limits
* facet_wrap: can now specify both ncol and nrow without getting an error
* facet_wrap: now works with statistics that produce both x and y values (e.g.
stat_qq)
* fullseq now adds additional break on bottom if necessary, so that the
include.lowest argument in cut never comes into play (this the source of a
potential bug in histograms)
* geom_boxplot: alpha now affects fill colour of boxes only
* geom_path correctly switches to segments if varying alpha used (thanks to
Karl Ove Hufthammer for the report and Baptiste Auguie for the fix)

* stat_qq now correctly groups results
* stat_smooth will not try and fit a line to 2 or fewer points (previously
didn't try for only 1 point)
* stat_spoke now works with reversed scales
* grouping: now consistent between different geoms (Issue #33)
ggplot2 0.8.3
----------------------------------------------------------------
New features
* alpha: new aesthetic, with scale alpha. Where a geom has both fill and colour, alpha affects the fill.
* annotate: new annotate function to make it easier to add annotations to plots
* facet_grid now takes strip label function from parameter labeller, not theme setting
* facet_grid: gains as.table argument to control direction of horizontal facets

* geom_errorbarh: new geom for horizontal error bars
* labels_parsed and labels_bquote functions to make it easier to display expressions on facet labels
* scale_manual now supports breaks and limits
