Add Ipea Editorial Standards to 'ggplot2' Graphics

github.com/ipeadata-lab/ipeaplot ↗

An institutional chart theme whose recent releases are all vignette repair.

ggplot2-themesdata-visualizationbrazilr-packagespublication-graphics
◆Current state
ipeaplot supplies Ipea's house style to ggplot2 — theme_ipea(), matching colour and fill scales, and export helpers that write the formats the institute's publications need. The feature line has been quiet since October, when save_ipeaplot() consolidated the format-specific savers. Both July releases exist to get the package building again, not to change it.
◆Where it's heading
The package has been converging on a smaller, more uniform surface: separate save_eps() and save_pdf() helpers gave way to one save_ipeaplot() covering vector and raster formats with sensible defaults, and the Frutiger font dependency was dropped for a default sans-serif. What consumes releases now is downstream breakage — two consecutive patches in ten days, the second traced to geobr, both in vignettes rather than package code.
◆Prediction
The palette line has grown one colour set at a time and is the most likely place for the next addition, but nothing in these entries commits to it. On current evidence the near term is more compatibility patching against the geobr and ggplot2 packages the vignettes depend on.

◆Recent moves

    Vignette fix for geobr breakage

    A vignette-only patch addressing problems with geobr, three days after a release that fixed a different vignette build error. Package behaviour is unchanged.

    Patch for a vignette build error

    Build repair with no user-visible effect — the first of two vignette patches in July.

    save_ipeaplot() unifies vector and raster export

    The consolidation the earlier save_eps() and save_pdf() helpers were heading toward: one function covering eps, pdf, png and jpg with defaults tuned for the institute's output. The last release in this window to add anything.

    Pink palette added; axis break and categorical Y-axis fixes

    One more palette for the house set, plus corrections to the breaks logic and to categorical data on the Y axis. Routine widening of the styling vocabulary.

    Frutiger dropped for a default sans-serif; save_pdf() added

    Removes the licensed Frutiger family from titles and labels in favour of the default sans-serif, which makes the theme render the same way on machines that never had the font. save_pdf() joins save_eps() as the second format-specific helper, a pairing later folded into save_ipeaplot().

    theme_ipea, colour and fill scales, save_eps on CRAN

    The earliest entry the feed carries, and an inventory rather than a change log: theme_ipea(), scale_color_ipea(), scale_fill_ipea() and save_eps() listed as the package's CRAN surface. It marks where the visible history starts, not necessarily the package's first release.
