What is ggmagnify?

A single-purpose ggplot2 inset tool, refining the same three arguments.

ggmagnify draws magnified insets of a region of a ggplot, with projection lines connecting the inset to its source area. The visible releases are all small refinements to how that inset looks — corner radius, fill between projection lines — plus one fix for inset themes being overridden. There are only three entries, so the picture is necessarily partial.

What is modeltime.resample?

modeltime.resample exists to keep backtesting working as tidymodels shifts underneath it.

modeltime.resample runs time series cross-validation over modeltime models, returning per-resample predictions and accuracy plots. Version 0.3.0 is the substantive release in view: tune 2.0.0 compatibility, deterministic seeding via withr, guaranteed .predictions output, and clearer failures when resample fits break. The three releases before it are dependency chores.

ggmagnify
ANALYTICS
0.0

A single-purpose ggplot2 inset tool, refining the same three arguments.

◆ Current state

ggmagnify draws magnified insets of a region of a ggplot, with projection lines connecting the inset to its source area. The visible releases are all small refinements to how that inset looks — corner radius, fill between projection lines — plus one fix for inset themes being overridden. There are only three entries, so the picture is necessarily partial.

◆ Where it's heading

Work concentrates on the visual finish of the inset rather than on new capability, which is what a package with one job should look like. Two feature releases a week apart in early 2024 suggest a short burst of attention rather than sustained development, and the feed goes quiet after mid-2024.

◆ Prediction

Too few entries to call a direction with confidence; continued small styling arguments would be consistent with what is visible.

M0.0

modeltime.resample exists to keep backtesting working as tidymodels shifts underneath it.

◆ Current state

modeltime.resample runs time series cross-validation over modeltime models, returning per-resample predictions and accuracy plots. Version 0.3.0 is the substantive release in view: tune 2.0.0 compatibility, deterministic seeding via withr, guaranteed .predictions output, and clearer failures when resample fits break. The three releases before it are dependency chores.

◆ Where it's heading

Every entry here is compatibility work against something upstream — hardhat 1.0.0, workflows regression mode, then tune 2.0.0 twice. The 0.3.0 notes show a second concern emerging alongside it: making failures legible, with .notes on failed fits, actionable errors from unnest_modeltime_resamples(), and fallback logic when prediction columns go missing across versions. Reproducibility gets the same treatment through explicit seeding.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release to track the next tidymodels breaking change, with any new work continuing on error reporting rather than resampling strategies.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ggmagnify and modeltime.resample?

They serve adjacent needs but don't currently overlap on shipped themes. ggmagnify and modeltime.resample are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band). See the at-a-glance table above for a side-by-side breakdown of velocity, recent sparks, and editorial themes.

Is ggmagnify better than modeltime.resample?

Sparkpulse doesn't pick a winner — we score release velocity, not feature parity. ggmagnify and modeltime.resample are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band).
