arulesViz 1.4-0 (03/05/2021)

CRAN release: 2021-03-07

New features

  • plot methods “scatterplots” and “matrix” have now engine ggplot2.

Removed functions

  • cleaned namespace. E.g., grid is now an import (instead of a dependency).
  • plotly_arules was removed from the interface. Use plot with engine “plotly” or “htmlwidget.”
  • experimental support for iplots was removed.

Bug Fixes

  • fixed bug that prevented shading = NA in plotting method graph.
  • fixed some control parameter handling and added more examples for plot method graph.
  • fixed additional item shown in LHS for grouped matrix plot (reported by Tasos Fasoulis).

arulesViz 1.3-3 (05/20/2019)

CRAN release: 2019-05-20

New features

  • ruleExplorer got a cleaner interface and several new features.

Bug Fix

  • plot with method “paracoord” works now also with a single item in the LHS.

arulesViz 1.3-2 (12/04/2018)

CRAN release: 2018-12-05

Bug Fix

  • ruleExplorer now checks for an excessive number of items so shiny does not freeze.
  • plot with method matrix: control option reorder = “similarity” works now again.

arulesViz 1.3-1 (04/23/2018)

CRAN release: 2018-04-24

New features

  • ruleExplorer: interactive visualization with shiny was added.
  • plot method matrix now supports different reordering methods: ‘none’, ‘measure’, ‘support/confidence’, ‘similarity’. The default is measure, the measure used for shading.
  • measure and shading now auto-completes measure names.

Changes

  • plotly_arules is deprecated use plot with engine = “plotly” instead

Bug Fix

  • Fixed problem with quality measures (offset of 1) when creating igraph graphs (reported by sostahl).

arulesViz 1.3-0 (09/07/2017)

CRAN release: 2017-09-09

New features

  • Introduced engine parameter for plot which can be used to create htmlWidgets. Matrices and scatterplots use plotly and graphs are plotted using visNetwork.

Changes

  • Some work was done on unifying the interface for plot more resulting in a slightly changed order of parameters.
  • Parameter interactive is now deprecated and will be removed in future releases. Use engine = “interactive” or engine = “htmlWidget” (where available).
  • matrix-based visualization: reordering now tries to order by measure of interestingness. The plot now uses shading instead of measure.
  • method graph does not support type anymore. Only items are now supported as vertices.

Bug Fix

  • Fixed item labels order in reordered parallel coordinates plot (reported by Yvi24).

arulesViz 1.2-1 (03/12/2017)

CRAN release: 2017-03-13

  • arules_plotly uses now signif instead of round for quality measures.
  • arules_plotly implements now jitter to reduce overplotting (defaults to .1 if overplotting would occur).
  • arules_plotly shows correct rule indices for too large rule sets.
  • scatterplot also defaults jitter to .2 if overplotting would occur.
  • scatterplot now handles Inf with a warning.
