benviplot 1.2.0

Breaking Changes

Removed functions deprecated since v1.1.x: plot_line_trend(), plot_column_label(), pretty_number(), setup_benvi_fonts(), and get_poppins_variants().
Removed utility functions benvi_colors(), list_colors(), and list_palettes(). Use show_palettes() for palette exploration.
check_poppins_installed() is now an internal function.
Reduced hard dependencies: ggfittext and systemfonts moved to Suggests; forcats, lifecycle, and scales removed from Imports.

New Features

show_palettes() gains a "diverging" type and pattern-based name filtering.
Scale functions now have a sensible default palette.

Documentation

Reduced to a single vignette (getting-started); removed color-palettes, plot-functions, themes-and-styling, and font-setup vignettes.
Updated README with simplified examples.

benviplot 1.1.2

Breaking Changes

Renamed pretty_number() to format_num_br(). The old name is soft-deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

New Features

plot_column() gains three new parameters: text_inside (renders labels inside bars via ggfittext), text_place, and text_padding.
plot_column_label() deprecated. Use plot_column(text_inside = TRUE) instead.
plot_line_trend() deprecated. Use geom_smooth() or manual trend lines instead.

benviplot 1.1.1

New Features

New dataset sales_report: zone-level rental price data with listing vs contract prices (272 rows).
plot_scatter() gains a fit_color parameter for custom trend line colors.
theme_benvi() now uses relative font sizes and adds plot margins for better spacing.

Data

iqa updated: added index column; renamed columns for consistency.
iqaiw updated: added rooms column.

benviplot 1.1.0

Replaced the showtext-based font system with a systemfonts/ragg stack, eliminating DPI mismatch issues in font rendering.

Breaking Changes

Removed showtext and sysfonts dependencies.
Removed import_fonts(). Use install_poppins() instead.
Removed automatic showtext initialization on package load.

New Features

install_poppins(): download and install Poppins system-wide (one-time setup).
check_poppins_installed(): check if Poppins is available.
font_status(): report font setup status and recommendations.
ggsave_benvi(): wrapper around ggsave() that uses the ragg device for PNG files when available; defaults to 300 DPI.
theme_benvi() automatically falls back to "sans" if Poppins is not installed.
