Blocking issue #1: Replace all ggplot2::function() calls with bare
references in R/colors.R, R/logo.R, R/theme.R. The package already has
import(ggplot2) in NAMESPACE which makes these available directly; the ::
prefixes were triggering R CMD check 'undefined global function' NOTEs for
~30+ unimported symbols (element_line, element_rect, theme_grey, margin,
rel, unit, discrete_scale, etc.).
Suggestion #6: Replace class(x) == "character" with "character" %in% class(x)
in R/db.R (countCleanr and simpleCap). The == pattern breaks on S3 objects
with multiple class attributes.
Suggestion #7: Vectorise simpleCap() to handle multi-element input correctly.
Previously strsplit(x, ' ')[[1]] only processed the first element; now uses
unname(vapply()) to capitalise each vector element independently while
preserving the original scalar behaviour (no names attribute on output).
Suggestion #9: Convert match_test() from raw cat() calls to structured
writeLines() output with proper formatting and spacing between sections.
- Replace .cv_fonts_loaded <<- TRUE with environment-based state
(.cv_state) to avoid 'locked namespace binding' error (#18)
- Add force=FALSE argument for idempotent font loading with guard check
- Flip theme_civilytics() paper_bg default to FALSE (transparent) (#7)
- Update roxygen docs and examples for both changes
Add theme_civilytics_map(), theme_civilytics_dark_map(), and
theme_civilytics_slide_map() for choropleths — suppress axes, ticks,
gridlines, and axis labels while preserving titles, captions, and legends.
Fix subtitle, caption, and axis text colors in theme_civilytics_dark()
which were inheriting dark ink_2/ink_3 values meant for light backgrounds,
making them hard to read on navy. Now uses navy_200/navy_300 instead.
The old fig.retina=2 at 150 DPI rendered PNGs at 2x resolution that
GitHub markdown can't use, making text appear half its intended size.
Switching to 96 DPI without retina produces images at their natural
display size. Combined with the base font bump (14 → 16pt), titles
and labels now render with proper editorial presence.
- Change rel_large default from 16/14 to 20/14 (~1.43x) to match the
Civilytics editorial design system. Subtitle now renders at 1.0x base
instead of 0.86x.
- Switch axis.text to rel() sizing so all text elements cascade from the
root font_size, enabling uniform scaling.
- Add font_scale parameter (default 1.1) to civilytics_logo(),
add_logo(), and add_logo_ga() — inflates text by ~10% before
arrangeGrob composition to compensate for viewport shrinkage.
- Ship SVG logo variants (mark, wordmark, pulse) in inst/img/ for
Quarto/HTML templates.
- Add "Maintaining brand assets" section to README documenting inst/img/
file inventory and update workflow.
- Document full font size hierarchy in theme_civilytics() roxygen.
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
theme.R:
- Remove deprecated legend.text.align and legend.title.align (ggplot2 3.5.0)
- Remove stale @importFrom graphics plot (unused in theme function)
logo.R:
- Fix make_logo_grob() spurious two-row data frame (drop aes/data from canvas)
- Fix add_logo_ga() caption measurement always using first plot; now uses max
across all plots with captions
- Fix add_logo_ga() ncol hardcoded to 2; now uses length(plot_list)
- Fix add_logo_ga() widths silently ignored in nrow > 1 path; now warns
- Replace deprecated qplot() in examples with ggplot() equivalents
- Fix native = T -> TRUE in plot_jpeg()
