iNZight 4.1.1

• fix bug preventing 'survey design specification' window from being visible
• fix typos in 'transform variables' window and 'convert (multiple) to categorical'

iNZight 4.1

Major changes

Surveys

• NEW: better handling of survey designs using our new 'Survey design specification' format. This allows users to load pre-configured surveys from a single 'specification' file, while may optionally point at a dataset for an all-in-one import.
• survey 'data wrangling' support for almost all operations (others have been greyed out to prevent invalid actions by users); code is valid, using 'srvyr' package to provide 'dplyr'-like syntax for survey designs

Other

• refactor of the Aggregate Data functionality, allowing users to select more than three variables and to perform aggregation over a subset of variables
• Join data now allows users to select an existing dataset, in addition to importing a new one (#340, @tmelliott)
• updated preferences window to allow new options to be added in future without getting cluttered
• create new 'Form Class Intervals' window connecting to iNZightTools::form_class_intervals() function; includes code and a much smoother intervace, with preview of resulting intervals

Minor changes

• when loading a new data set, exisiting datasets are kept (previously they were all removed; at this point I don't know why that design decision was made ...)
• allow user to delete any dataset (including the original); the previous dataset is loaded in it's place
• user preferences are are now stored in tools::R_user_dir(); user is prompted to create config directories
• enable code tidying (which uses the 'styler' package)
• the disposeR argument in iNZight() has been replaced with dispose_fun, allowing users to pass a function to be called when iNZight closes (rather then only allowing q())

Bug fixes

• fix bug when setting new data object causing code history and data's new name to be lost
• fix small bug in code writing where colon (:) remained in list of packages for installation (#352, @tmelliott)
• add close_module method so modules can close themselves and iNZight's main GUI will be restored correctly

Plus many other fixes and changes from other iNZight packages

• disable dot plots for survey data (#325, @tmelliott)

iNZight 4.0.1

• fix UI bug requiring users to press Enter to set the null hypothesis value in the Get Inference window
• fix bug in restore plot for ggplots

iNZight 4.0

This release is a complete overhaul of the way in which variables are passed around behind the scenes, making it possible to display and modify code for the current plot. The main focus for this release is to narrow the gap between GUI and coding for users interested in learning to use R.

Major changes

• New iNZInfoWindow class to support both "Get Summary" and "Get Inference" which includes future scalability to code-writing and manual user-modifiable code snippets, plus an extensible command panel.
• New plot code panel displays the code for the current plot, and allows users to edit the code by hand.
• Survey designs can now be loaded from a file (.svydesign)

Minor changes

• Add option to save interactive plots locally (including assets)
• Add support for JSON files
• Add data report (pdf/html/word) (using 'dataMaid' package)
• Add column selection and reordering dialog (File > Select and reorder variables)
• Adds ability to quickly reload iNZight from the File menu, preserving all changes
• Added better icons to the menus

Bug fixes

Since this is a major release, it includes many bug fixes as part of the above major changes.

iNZight 3.0

Release date: 5 Septemer, 2016

This is a major new release of iNZight, so many things have changed. We hope you like them!

New Features

Here's just a few of the major new features to iNZight.

• Example data sets available from the File menu
• Play time can now be stopped, and the interval adjusted
• Switch variables with the one below by clicking the "down" arrow to the right of the variable box
• Maps Module - visualise geographical data:
  • Coordinates: if your data set includes GPS coordinates for each observation, iNZight will let you plot them on a map.
  • Countries: if observations have country names associated with them, you can colour countries on a map by another variable. Try this out with the Gapminder data set included in Example Data!
• Dual Window mode - if you've used VIT, then this will be familiar to you. From File > Preferences, you can choose to have a separate window for graphs (as opposed to the built-in one).

Major Changes

We can't list everything here, but some of the important ones are listed below.

• Plot toolbar has new icons
• Add to Plot window completely redesigned to make plot modification easier
• Resize points has been adjusted to resize the area proportional to the value. Also added an "emphasize" option, which scales sizes linearly.
• COLOUR: new, better palettes have been introduced, including viridis, which are colourblind friendly.
• Multiple Response has been overhauled to be more intuitive and fit in with the rest of iNZight.
• (temporary) Just a quick workaround for analysing tables in iNZight: Dataset > Expand Table

Minor Changes

Given the magnitude of changes, there's little point mentioning the minor ones and bug fixes!

Release date: 12 October, 2015

iNZight 2.3

Release date: 4 August, 2015

New Features

• SURVEY DESIGNS: iNZight can now handle survey designs (currently Strata, 2-stage (nesting) clustering, and a weighting variable. Plots take account of this structure and inference that displays (currently only trend lines on bivariate plots) use functions from the survey packages and thus incorporate weights.
• Adjust the axis limits from the Add to Plot menu.
• Adjust the number of bars displayed on a bar plot from the Add to Plot menu.

Minor Changes

Bug Fixes

• fixes to a few issues occuring in dotplots
• display an error if Add to Plot is called without any variables having been selected

iNZight 2.2.0-1

Release date: 01 July 2015

• iNZightPlots package: fix colour of segmented bar plots to match the legend

Release date: 25 May, 2015

New Features

• New hexagonal binning plot available to large samples
• Live updating sliders for the "Add to Plot" panel, which is now embedded into the main window rather than creating an additional pop-up window

Major Changes

• The "Add to Plot", "Remove Additions" and "Inference Information" windows have been integrated into the main window with the aim of making the interface cleaner and easier to navigate.
• When colouring points by a numeric variable, a continuous colour range is used rather than a discrete one.
• The plotting package has been rewritten to accomodate survey designs (this will be integrated with iNZight itself at a later date). However, the plots have been modified to be cleaner and far more efficient. Additionally, the algorithms used for the inference information have been updated. For more information on this, see the iNZightPlots change log.
• The "Get Summary" and "Get Inference" outputs have been redesigned to hopefully give a more intuitive, cleaner presentation of the information.
• From dot plots and histograms, the comparison (and confidence) interval values can be read from the graph by clicking 'Get Values' in the 'Inference Information' panel. This includes the Year 12 intervals applied to medians.
• LOCATOR: functionality for scatterplots vastly improved, allowing selection of related points, retaining points over multiple graphcs, and selecting points by a variable. (similar upgrades for dot plots coming in v2.2)

Minor Changes

• the number of missing values is now displayed on the plot, broken down by variable
• the list of options in the 'Add to Plot' window are now in a drop down menu, rather than radio buttons, to save space

• in the Add to Plot window for barcharts, reworded "segment by" to "colour by" for consistency.
• the transparency slider now runs from 0% to 100%

Bug Fixes

• identify functionality works for subsets (except when multi plots at once)

iNZight 2.0.1

Release date: 27 March, 2014

New Features

• Identify feature added to the "Add To Plot" menu. This allows users to interactively label points with id or any other variable. This feature works for both dot plots and scatter plots.

Minor Changes
