Generalize the flextable brand styling and "export to PNG + stamp logo"
pattern repeated across Civilytics projects into two small functions:
- style_flextable_civilytics(): applies only the visual brand (header
fill/color, body font/size, zebra striping guarded for <2 rows,
borders, footer styling, fixed layout) to an already-structured
flextable. Every value is an overridable parameter; zebra toggles
striping. Structure (labels, headers, widths, alignment, footer text)
stays with the caller.
- save_branded_flextable_png(): exports a styled flextable to PNG via
ragg::agg_png() sized to the table plus extra_height headroom, then
optionally stamps the logo via stamp_logo_png() (... forwarded).
flextable, officer, and ragg are added to Suggests (not Imports) to keep
the base install light; both functions reference them fully qualified and
guard with requireNamespace() + an install hint. Real round-trip tests
cover styling, 1-row idempotence, PNG export, and extra_height.
Integrate Civilytics Reveal.js slide extension, HTML/PDF/Typst document
themes, and _brand.yml into the package under inst/quarto/. Three new
helper functions (use_civilytics_revealjs, use_civilytics_theme,
use_civilytics_brand) copy assets into a user's Quarto project. Logos
are stored once in inst/img/ and distributed at install time.
Replace the 16-color / 3-palette system with the full Civilytics design
system: 53 named colors (full navy, ember, violet ramps plus teal, plum,
moss, brass supporting hues) and 10 visualization palettes (qual,
qual_warm, qual_cool, seq_ember, seq_navy, seq_violet, seq_paper_ink,
div_navy_ember, div_violet_ember).
Enrich theme_civilytics() with grid and paper_bg parameters, add
theme_civilytics_slide() for presentations, and load all four brand fonts
(Inter, Libre Franklin, Source Serif 4, JetBrains Mono).
Add README.Rmd with rendered gallery showing all palettes, theme
variants, grid options, dark/slide modes, facets, and scale usage.
- Replace old civilytics_logo.png/white.png/jpg/pdf with new rebrand
assets: civilytics-wordmark.png, civilytics-wordmark-reverse.png,
civilytics-mark.png, civilytics-mark-reverse.png (all transparent bg)
- make_logo_grob() now accepts type = c("wordmark", "mark") alongside
variant = c("light", "dark") for 4 combinations
- New civilytics_logo() pipe-friendly convenience function:
ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) + geom_point() + theme_civilytics() |>
civilytics_logo()
R's |> has lower precedence than +, so the full ggplot chain pipes
through without parentheses
- Remove old icon/favicon assets no longer used
- Wrap showtext-dependent examples in \dontrun{} to prevent R CMD check
failures in headless PostScript environments
- R/colors.R: civilytics_colors named vector (from --cv-* CSS vars on
civilytics.com), three palettes (main/sequential/diverging),
scale_color_civilytics() and scale_fill_civilytics() for ggplot2
- R/fonts.R: auto-loads Inter + Libre Franklin from Google Fonts via
showtext in .onLoad(); exports civilytics_load_fonts() for manual retry
- R/theme.R: wires ggplot2 4.0 ink/paper/accent params into theme_grey()
base, adds title_family + strip_color params; new theme_civilytics_dark()
using navy_dark background and warm off-white text
- R/logo.R: make_logo_grob(variant) accepts "light"/"dark" to select the
white logo for dark-background compositions
- DESCRIPTION: adds showtext, sysfonts; pins ggplot2 >= 4.0.0
- tests/testthat/test_theme.R: full test suite for colors, palettes,
scales, both theme variants, and logo grob variants
@importFrom does not work for base R lazy data objects — replaced with
utils::globalVariables() in the package file to suppress the R CMD check
NOTE. Removed the invalid @importFrom datasets tag from utils.R.
Also commits all man/ and NAMESPACE changes from devtools::document().
- Wrap get_fips/get_stabbr examples in dontrun (tidycensus is Suggests)
- Add .gitea to .Rbuildignore (hidden dir note)
- Add importFrom(datasets, state.abb/state.name) for postcode_lookup
- Remove LazyData: true (no data/ directory)
- Add real R CMD check workflow via Gitea Actions (rocker/r-ver:4.4)
- Remove Jenkinsfile and demo workflow
- Modernize DESCRIPTION: Authors@R, R >= 4.1.0, URL/BugReports fields,
move tidycensus from Imports to Suggests, testthat edition 3
- Fix agresti_coull_interval: correct implementation, export it
- Convert get_fips/get_stabbr to use requireNamespace for tidycensus
- Remove civilytics:: self-reference in rnh()
