tikzDevice 0.11

Bug fixes

• Fix potential protection issues (#161).
• Zero-length strings are not treated as multibyte character strings anymore.
• Registering native methods to fix R CMD check warnings.
• Updating the filehash package no longer causes the tikzDevice package to fail (#168).
• Remove probably harmless extra space from text being measured.
• Don't overwrite string's encoding in anyMultibyteUTF8Characters() (#158, @jszhao).
• Enforce the encoding of temporary TeX file to UTF-8 (#159, @jszhao).
• Don't call library(grid) from package code anymore.
• Code from manual now contains simple apostrophes to allow copy-paste (#139).

Features

• The new tikzTest() function (via getLatexStrWidth(diagnose = TRUE)) now writes a complete LaTeX document, which allows e.g. MikTeX to install missing LaTeX packages (#142, #149).
• If measurement fails, the .tex and .log files are not printed anymore,
  instead the location of these files is shown.
• Support LuaLaTeX > 0.85 by loading the luatex85 package if it exists and avoiding loading xunicode (#150).
• Temporary .tex and .log files are created in a separate directory for each run.

Internal

• Consistent code style with the help of the styler package.
• load_all() works now.

v0.10-1

Internal

• Use CDR(CDDR()) instead of CDDDR(), the latter is available only in R 3.2.0 (#136).

v0.10

Features

• Use png::writePNG() to output raster images to avoid reentrancy issues with capturing and playback and to reduce size of raster images. The tikzRasterResolution option is now obsolete (#132).

Bug Fixes

• The setting sanitize = TRUE works even if the tikzDevice package is not attached to the search path (#129).

Internal

• Update ggplot2 results to account for minor differences due to the package's update (#131).
• Add test for combined rotation and reflection of raster images.
• Add tracing code to the beginning of almost every C function.

v0.9

Features

• PNG images now use png(type = "cairo") on all platforms (#121)
• New argument verbose to tikz() function (#117, #124)

Bug Fixes

• Fix segfault when no file extension is provided (#101)
• Fix quoting issue with spaces in the tempdir name (#99, #105, #106)
• Fix the error from getMetricsFromLatex() when options(OutDec) is set to "," (#57)
• Allow loading package even if LaTeX is not available, with a warning instead of a fatal error (#112, 125)
• Bump dependency for filehash (#109)

Internal

• R compatibility update: Explicit imports from recommended packages (#116)
• Use crayon for coloring test output (#112)

v0.8

Compatibility

This release doesn't work on OS X and Solaris. This will be resolved soon.

Contributors

• Thanks to Greg Jefferis, Bill Venables, Sam Mason, Gvozden Neskovic,
  Martin Bergner and Casper Ti. Vector for contributing to this release.

Features

• Add parameter timestamp to tikz to make the output of the timestamp optional (#28,
  #73, thanks Martin Bergner).
• Add parameter lwdUnit to tikz to specify the physical width of a line
  (in points) that is 1 unit wide in R. By default, the value of option
  tikzLwdUnit is used; this option has a value of 0.4 at startup (#68,
  thanks Casper Ti. Vector).
• Optionally use symbolic colors defined in a single external file instead of
  hard-coded colors defined in-place. New parameters symbolicColors,
  colorFileName and maxSymbolicColors; new options tikzSymbolicColors
  and tikzMaxSymbolicColors. The external file is only created if requested;
  in this case, symbolic color names are used instead of fillColor and
  drawColor (#70, thanks Martin Bergner).

Bug Fixes

• Ignore fill color for lines to remove thin line (1 pixel wide) that was shown
  with dashed or dotted lines on some viewers (#63, thanks Martin Bergner).
• More robust handling of metrics dictionary. Changes to the
  tikzMetricsDictionary option are recognized even if a metrics dictionary
  already has been initialized, a message is printed the first time a dictionary
  is used (in addition to the message that is printed when the dictionary is
  created). A missing dictionary file is recreated (#21).
• Performance improvements with zero-width strings (#66, thanks Gvozden Neskovic)
• Add parameter checkstate to allow adding annotations to a new plot (#52,
  thanks Sam Mason)
• Allow raster images to be output without resampling by setting
  options(tikzRasterResolution = NA) (#54, thanks Sam Mason)
• In console mode, print a \relax statement after the comment to allow using
  tikzDevice in a Sweave code chunk with results=tex, as advertised in the
  vignette. (The default is strip.white=TRUE which makes the following
  \begin{tikzpicture} appear on the same line as the encoding comment in the
  resulting .tex file.) (#47, thanks Bill Venables)

Vignette

• Use knitr as vignette builder (#37).
• Fixed typos (#45, thanks Greg Jefferis).
• Vignette now also compiles if the zi4 TeX package is installed instead of
  inconsolata. This should fix the CRAN notes and warnings on Windows.
• Loading babel TeX package to avoid printing tilde in references (#49).

Internal

• Tests perform strict image comparison (#18).
• Testing now also works in RStudio.
