iNZight 4.4.1

• fixes a bug (notable in 'Locate Points') where plots would fail due to missing variables

iNZight 4.4.0

Interface changes

• aggregation by date-time can now involve additional grouping variables
• uniting columns and combining categorical variables now share the same window, and added options to remove empty combinations and treat missing values as a category
• added an option to rank variables with proportional method (by percentile)
• added more methods for reordering levels of categorical variables
• added an option to specify time zone for date-time variable conversion
• added "right-join" as an option for joining data frames
• move 'paste from' to 'clipboard' menu and add 'copy to' option (to copy to clipboard) (#402)

Structural behind-the-scenes changes

Changed all data and variable-related functions to iNZightTools 2.0.0.

Modules redesigned

Mdules are now more modular, and accessed from a separate menu item 'Modules'. The modules in the 'Advanced' menu will slowly be deprecated as they are ported to the new API.

For developers, modules are now easier to maintain independently (as git submodules), and the iNZModule class supports installation of dependencies, plus some other methods.

iNZight 4.3

Interface changes

• new preference to switch between single (normal) and multiple primary variables

Data dictionaries

• add capability to import a data dictionary (and apply to the active data, where possible)
• View Data Dictionary window to view and explore data dictionary definitions, etc

Other changes

• enable automatic detection of delimited file separator (using readr::read_delim) (#401)
• Paginate dataset summary to prevent skimr::skim() freezing GUI when number of variables in the dataset is large
• New 'GTag' and 'GTags' classes for labels with a background and a collection of droppable labels, respectively
• add search button/clear button to search group (in data view widget)
• iNZDocument class uses global option inzight.default.par to override the default values for any iNZightPlots::inzpar() settings

New Features

Modules

Redesigned from the original prototype, the new modules functionality is built directly into 'iNZight', and will eventually lead to the deprecation of 'iNZightModules'. Modules can be installed at specific versions, including dependencies, and include capablity to add new menu items to 'iNZight'. Each module has its own library, which should reduce clashes where packages depend on different versions of a package.

iNZight 4.2

Major changes

A major change in this release is the landing screen, with a tidied interface. We have also gone through and adjusted all of the module windows to be more consistent (particularly for the button order).

• data view/switch widget updated/refactored
  • iNZViewSwitcherWidget -> iNZDataToolbar
  • "View dataset" and "View variables" buttons replaced by icons
  • add 'Dataset info' button to view data summary (using skimr::skim())

• Control Widget:
  • enable/disable buttons and dropdowns based on what application state
  • refactor layout of Get Summary / Get Inference buttons (added to iNZCtrlWidget)
  • add Subset-filter button to quickly subset the dataset based on slider values
  • change icon for 'variable switch' buttons (to differentiate from pagination arrows)

  • add CI level control to Get Inference window (#74, @tmelliott) and Plot Inference panel
  • add horizontal/vertical toggle in table summaries

Minor changes

• iNZTransformWin redesigned with dropdown to select boxes and buttons to apply transforms - drag-and-drop still works
• iNZCollapseWin uses _ instead of . in new variable name
• iNZRenameFactorLevelsWin window modified slightly to be a little more intuitive
• iNZConToDtWin, iNZExtFromDtWin, iNZAggregatedtWin redesigned to have previews on the right-hand-side (rather than below)
• menu items disabled/hidden when specifying/removing survey design
• improved accuracy of estimated population size display in survey specification window
• get Summary and Get Inference now scroll output window to the top (rather than the bottom)
• change in wording of "Delete dataset" dialog to clarify what's happening

• add some extra space around plot toolbar in pop-out mode
• 'Simulate P-value' checkbox removed for survey chi-square test
• Combine categorical variables allows custom separator (#389)
• add 'min' and 'max' options for date-time aggregation

Structural behind-the-scenes changes

Many of the user-visible changes are aesthetic, and part of this change included adding a new 'superclass' for all module windows within 'iNZight'. This involved refactoring all of these modules to inherit from iNZWindow. Additionally, class names where changed as listed below.

• create new iNZWindow 'superclass' to make it easier to create consistent pop-up windows (#375, @tmelliott). The following windows now inherit from iNZWindow: iNZFilterWin, iNZSortWin, iNZAggregateWin, iNZStackWin, iNZReorderVarsWin, iNZReshapeWin, iNZSeparateWin, iNZUniteWin, iNZJoinWin, iNZAppendRowsWin, iNZDataReportWin, iNZValidateWin, iNZRenameDataWin, iNZConToCatWin, iNZTransformWin, iNZStandardiseWin, iNZFormClassIntervalsWin, iNZRankWin, iNZConToCatMultiWin, iNZReorderLevelsWin, iNZRenameFactorLevelsWin, iNZCombineWin, iNZConToDtWin, iNZExtFromDtWin, iNZAggDtWin, iNZCreateVarWin, iNZMissToCatWin, iNZDeleteVarWin

• 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 interface, with preview of resulting intervals

Minor changes

• when loading a new data set, existing 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

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.

• 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 dialogue (File > Select and reorder variables)
• Adds ability to quickly reload iNZight from the File menu, preserving all changes

iNZight 3.0

Release date: 5 September, 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 colour-blind 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!

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.

Bug Fixes

• fixes to a few issues occurring 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

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 accommodate 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 graphics, 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

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

• Users can force scatter plots when the sample size is large, rather than using the alternative grid-density plot.

• Missing observations can be converted to categorical levels. For categorical variables, the result is a new factor with the same levels as the original variable, but the additional missing factor level. For continuous variables, a new factor variable with two levels, missing and not missing is created.

Bug Fixes

• Vertical sliders added to the Rename Levels and Rename factor levels windows.
• Reorder levels now works as expected, including sort by frequency.
• Bug where the iNZight window closes even if a user clicks cancel has been fixed.
