getCommonChunk() uses default group=1 (previously 1:N
which was slower).
getCommonChunk() works for geom_point()
and other geoms which do not use aes(group) for display
(previously common data was only returned for geoms
path/polygon/ribbon).
getCommonChunk() returns common data if there is only
one common variable, as long as it has at least one group with more than
one row (previously at least two common variables were required).

2025.10.10 (PR#251)
animint2dir() no longer has css.file
argument which was never tested. Style customizations should be done
using theme().
Changes in version 2025.10.9
(PR#242)
Improve common chunk detection, output na_group and
row_in_group when there are missing values.
Changes in version 2025.10.3
(PR#240)
guide_legend(override.aes) works in a plot with both
color and fill legends.
Changes in version 2025.9.30
(PR#239)
getCommonChunk() has new atime performance test.
Changes in version 2025.9.27
(PR#238)
Remove checkCommon() internal function, which was too
slow for computing common chunk tsv file, when there were a large number
of groups. Now using data table by group, which is faster and prints
progress.
Changes in version 2025.9.26
(PR#236)
animint2pages() arguments chromote_* move
to animint2dir() so that we can create
Capture.PNG in the context of
knit_print.animint(), for pdf output.
Changes in version 2025.9.16
animint2pages() gains arguments
chromote_width and chromote_height, both
dimensions in pixels of browser window used to create
Capture.PNG, new defaults 3000x2000 should be large enough
to handle most typical data viz (previous default width was not on
Ubuntu).
update_gallery() uses method="curl" when
downloading Capture.PNG (this fixes previous default method
which resulted in PNG with errors).
Changes in version 2025.9.12
(PR#226)
Tooltip is hidden after clicking to de-select.
Changes in version 2025.9.11
(PR#224)
Bugfix when meke_tallrect() is last geom, now selection
menu renders. Thanks @suhaani-agarwal for the PR.
Changes in version 2025.9.10
(PR#223)
geom_label_aligned() and aes(tooltip) now
work in Rmd docs rendered to HTML.
Changes in version 2025.9.9
(PR#153)
Multiple ggplots may now be arranged on the page via
theme_animint() options colspan=2,
rowspan=2, last_in_row=TRUE (meaning next
ggplot occurs in next row). Backwards-compatible since old arrangement
code is used when none of these options is present. Thanks to @biplab-sutradhar
for contributions to the PR.
Changes in version 2025.9.6
(PR#220)
aes(tooltip): Fixed an issue where tooltips containing
newline characters (e.g. "two\nlines") caused rendering
failures when combined with other aesthetics such as
aes(color=...). The problem was due to TSV export with
quote=FALSE, which broke parsing when fields contained
newlines. The TSV writer now uses quote="auto", ensuring
fields with \n are preserved correctly. On the rendering
side, newline characters in tooltips are converted to
<br/>, so multi-line tooltips are now properly
supported. Thanks @suhaani-agarwal for the PR.
Changes in version 2025.8.16
(PR#214)
geom_abline(): Fixed an issue where lines extended
beyond plot boundaries when update_axes() was called. The
clipping logic has now been moved from pre_process() on the
R side to the renderer side, ensuring that <line>
elements are correctly clipped to the plot boundaries during
update_axes(). Thanks @suhaani-agarwal for the PR.
Changes in version 2025.7.21
(PR#203)
Added geom_label_aligned(), a new geom that plots text
labels with non-overlapping positioning along a specified alignment axis
(“horizontal” or “vertical”). It uses quadratic programming to optimize
label placement and includes options for spacing
(min_distance), alignment, rounded background rectangles
(label_r), disabling the background rectangle
(background_rect = FALSE), etc. Thanks @suhaani-agarwal
for the PR.
Changes in version 2025.7.18
(PR#201)
animint2pages() default branch is gh-pages instead of
main.
update_gallery() creates repos/* directories and
removes errors.csv file if necessary.
Changes in version 2025.7.10
(PR#208)
Added Codecov integration for both R and JavaScript tests; coverage reports
now available. Thanks @suhaani-agarwal for the PR.

geom_raster() has been removed. Thanks to @biplab-sutradhar
for the PR.
Changes in version 2025.6.4

aes(tooltip = "...") now renders fast, lightweight
tooltips using D3. Thanks @suhaani-agarwal for the PR.

Tour highlights the geom in the correct plot (instead of always the
first viz on the page).
PR#186
geom_abline(): fix and vectorize
pre_process() method.

Add simple Hello world example to ?animint.
Increase text size of “a” in legend SVG.

(PR#182)
Tour text includes selector names for geoms with named
clickSelects/showSelected.
animint2pages(chromote_sleep_seconds=NULL) is the new
default (no screenshot).
knit_print.animint supports Start Tour button.
Changes in version 2025.1.24
(PR#164)
New Start Tour widget at the bottom of each data viz, which
highlights what interactions are possible with each geom. Use
geom_*(title="title for geom in tour", help="details about what this geom is supposed to represent)
to change what is displayed for each geom during the tour. Powered by

Changes in version 2025.1.21
(PR#181)
animint(video="https://some.url") renders the link at
the bottom of the data viz.
update_gallery() uses download.file()
instead of git clone (faster).
Changes in version
2024.11.27 (PR#170)
When scale_log10 changes -Inf to NA, Inf handling logic now works
(previous was error, user should still fix their code to change -Inf to
0).

if(require(maps)) in test-compiler-animation.R.
Changes in version 2024.11.2

anchors).

Updated animist.js to use classes for source links,
resolving issue #145.

(PR#131)
Added functionality to capture screenshot in animint2pages
Changes in version 2024.9.17
@export for
internal S3 methods, to quiet roxygen2::document() messages.
Changes in version 2024.8.29
(PR#147)
animint2pages initial commit README.md uses viz title.
animint2pages gains owner argument, with default taken from
gh::gh_whoami (same as before, always returns user, even
when token has permissions on an org); this allows user to specify an
org where the user/token has write permissions. This is used in a new
test-compiler-ghpages.R, which now assumes PAT_GITHUB has
Administration and Contents permissions for all repos in
animint-test org, so our test code can delete the
animint2pages_test_repo, create a new one, and then use
animint2pages twice, to test the results of creation/update.

animint.
Changes in version 2024.1.24
(PR#112)
move servr from Suggests to Imports, for more user-friendly
installation / getting started for newbies (no need for separate install
command for servr).
bugfix in compiler height_proportion computation, which occured in
ggplots with space=free and both vertical/horizontal panels. Before the
vertical panels were always the same size, now they can be different
sizes.
Changes in version
2023.11.21
setDTthreads(1) in CRAN testthat.R (created from build.sh).
use servr by default when open.browser=TRUE.
Changes in version
2023.11.16 (PR#88)
Before creating a new out.dir, do not remove old out.dir, and
instead stop with an error, if out.dir already exists, but animint.js
does not.
Changes in 2023.11.15 (PR#101)
New function animint2pages(viz,"new_github_repo") for
publishing/sharing animints, replacement for animint2gist, which stopped
working recently.
New option animint(source="http://path.to/source.R")
which should be the URL of data viz source code, used to display a link
below the rendered viz.
New function update_gallery("path/to/gallery_repo") for
updating galleries such as https://animint.github.io/gallery/
Bugfix: geom_text renders color as svg fill style (was rendering as
stroke style, a regression introduced by the initial implementation of
fill_off).
re-organization of animint.js in order to reduce duplication /
emphasize similarities and differences between geoms.
geom rect and tile now default to color=“black” instead of
transparent, for consistency with other geoms (and for the case of using
clickSelects, which defaults to black color for selected, and
transparent for not). To get the old behavior, specify
color=“transparent” (for non-clickSelects).

animint fun, export print method.
infinite values converted to range min/max before saving tsv
files.
Changes in 2018.10.4
DEP: no longer depend on any branch of ggplot2.
train_layout from ggplot2 - R/panel.r function is now
g_train_layout. train_layout from animint2 - R/z_facet.R function is the
same. Both are internal functions.
Changes in 2017.08.24
DSL: clickSelects/showSelected are now specified as parameters
rather than aesthetics.
