vizier 0.6.1

July 17 2026:

  • After many years, ggplot2 support is back via embed_ggplot().
  • numeric color vectors now default to a sequential HCL Viridis palette. Categorical and no-input row colors use the built-in Polychrome 36 palette when available, with an HCL Dynamic fallback.
  • fix for a bug with rev = TRUE, where the wrong color could be assigned to an observation.
  • minor fixes for some top corner cases (e.g. ties, missing data).
  • equal_axes = TRUE now also preserves equal physical X/Y units in base and Plotly output.
  • Plotly numeric scales retain their native continuous colorbar.
  • fix regression where Plotly tooltip content showed literal input colors.
  • text labels work with numeric values.

July 4 2026: use the Polychrome 36 palette as the default categorical palette. This will prevent the default categorical palettes changing color when you don’t set the seed right before calling embed_plot.

vizier 0.6.0

July 2 2026: General housekeeping and fixed some palette bugs. Plotly support stopped working at some point probably due to the palette bugs, but is now working again. However, it is now an optional dependency, so install.packages("plotly") if you want to use it.

vizier 0.5.4

November 25 2023: use Polychrome to generate default color schemes for categorical data.

vizier 0.4.2

September 6 2020: fix alpha_scale with embed_plotly. Also, new parameter: limits for embed_plotly.

vizier 0.4.0

August 26 2020: version 0.4 includes the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bug where using recent versions of paletteer for choosing the color scheme was broken.
  • The turbo colormap (based on a github gist) has been added as the turbo function.
  • New argument rev to reverse the ordering of the colors in the palette. This is useful when comparing turbo with other rainbow palettes because turbo goes from blue to red.
  • For the new color palettes in R 4.0, you can pass them by name, e.g. color_scheme = "Okabe-Ito".
  • colorRampPalette is only used if you need to interpolate the palette (i.e. if you ask for more colors than exist in the palette). Colors will now be returned in the order they appear in the palette.

vizier 0.2.0

September 27 2018: Color schemes with embed_plotly were badly messed up. This is now fixed. You now also have control over whether to interpolate a discrete palette.

vizier 0.0.0.9000

August 10 2018: Last MIT-licensed version. Future versions will be GPL 3+.
