Changes in version 0.1.1.9000 - Added the grob_arrow(offset) argument for drawing arrows at some offset. - Added the geom_arrow(sep) parameter, allowing co-located arrows to be dodged (#8). - New asymmetric arrow ornaments (#8): - arrow_head_halfline() - arrow_head_halfwing() Changes in version 0.1.1 (2025-09-14) This is a small release adapting to new features in ggplot2 4.0.0 and fixing a bug. - Geom default have been adapted to the dynamic theming in ggplot2 4.0.0. - element_arrow() is implemented as an S7 class from ggplot2 4.0.0 onwards. - Graphical properties are better preserved when arrows are forced (#9). Changes in version 0.1.0 (2024-06-05) Initial CRAN submission Geom layers Several geom functions: - geom_arrow() that works like geom_path(). - geom_arrow_segment() that works like geom_segment() - geom_arrow_chain() that works like a type = "b" plot from base R. - geom_arrow_curve() that works like geom_curve(). Arrow grob The function grob_arrow() creates a grid grob that largely mimics the polylineGrob() grob, with the following differences. - Arrow ornaments can be placed at the end, start or middle of the line. - arrow_{head/fins/mid} controls the shape of the ornament. - length_{head/fins/mid} controls the size of the ornament. - justify controls where an ornament is placed relative to the line ends. - mid_place controls where middle (interior) arrows are placed. - resect{_head/_fins} can shorten the endpoints. - force_arrow determines if arrows are drawn on lines that are too short to accommodate ornaments. - The linewidth of the line can vary within a line. - shaft_width controls the linewidth for every point in x and y - A line can be shortened from their endpoints using the resect{_head/_fins} arguments. - The line is treated as a polygon, so fill controls the colour of the line, whereas colour controls the colour of an outline. Arrow scales The arrow_{head/fins/mid} have been promoted from parameters to aesthetics. Correspondingly, there are now 3 discrete scales for these 3 aesthetics. Arrow shapes Added the following shapes for ornaments: - arrow_head_wings() that looks like a classic arrow. - arrow_head_line() that are two line protruding from the tip of the line. - arrow_head_minimal() that is just a stumpy line-end. - arrow_fins_feather() two stacked parallelograms. - arrow_fins_line() also two lines but in opposite direction. - arrow_fins_minimal() that is just a line-end with a triangle taken out. - arrow_cup() that forms an arc around a point. Other An annotate_arrow() layer to specifically do arrow annotations. An element_arrow() to replace line elements in the theme() by arrows.
