**Lets-Plot** is a multiplatform plotting library built on the principles of the Grammar of Graphics. 

The library design is heavily influenced by Leland Wilkinson's work [The Grammar of Graphics](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2549408.The_Grammar_of_Graphics) describing the deep features that underlie all statistical graphics.

> This grammar [...] is made up of a set of independent components that can be composed in many different ways. This makes [it] very powerful because you are not limited to a set of pre-specified graphics, but you can create new graphics that are precisely tailored for your problem.
> - Hadley Wickham, "[ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis](https://ggplot2-book.org/index.html)"

## What is new in 4.9.0

- #### Statistical Summaries Directly on `geom_smooth()` Plot Layer

  The `geom_smooth()` layer now includes a `labels` parameter designed to display statistical summaries of the fitted model directly on the plot. \
  This parameter accepts a `smooth_labels()` object, which provides access to model-specific variables like $R^2$ and the regression equation.

  See [example notebook](https://raw.githack.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/smooth_summary.html).
                         
- #### Plot Tags
  Plot tags are short labels attached to a plot.

  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/images/plot_tags.png" alt="f-26a/images/plot_tags.png" width="600" height="185">

  See [example notebook](https://raw.githack.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/plot_tags.html).

- #### New `geom_bracket()` and `geom_bracket_dodge()` Geometries
  New geometries designed primarily for significance bars (*p-values*) annotations in categorical plots.

  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/images/geom_bracket.png" alt="f-26a/images/geom_bracket.png" width="400" height="261">

  See: [example notebook](https://raw.githack.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/geom_bracket.html).

- #### Custom Color Palettes in `geom_imshow()`
  The `cmap` parameter now allows you to specify a list of hex color codes for visualizing grayscale images. \
  Also, the new `cguide` parameter lets you customize the colorbar for grayscale images.

  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/images/image_custom_cmap.png" alt="f-26a/images/image_custom_cmap.png" width="400" height="248">

  See [example notebook](https://raw.githack.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/image_custom_cmap.html).

- #### New `palette()` Method in Color Scales
  Generates a list of hex color codes that can be used with `scale_color_manual()` to maintain consistent colors across multiple plots.

  See: [example notebook](https://raw.githack.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/scale_color_palette.html).

- #### New `overflow` parameter in `scale_color_brewer()`, `scale_fill_brewer()`
  Controls how colors are generated when more colors are needed than the palette provides. \
  Options: `'interpolate'` (`'i'`), `'cycle'` (`'c'`), `'generate'` (`'g'`).

  See: [example notebook](https://raw.githack.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/scale_brewer_overflow.html).

- #### New `break_width` Parameter in Positional Scales
  Specifies a fixed distance between axis breaks.

  See examples:
  - [datetime scale](https://raw.githack.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/scale_break_width_datetime.html)
  - [time (duration) scale](https://raw.githack.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/scale_break_width_duration.html)
  - [log10 scale](https://raw.githack.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/scale_break_width_log10.html)

- #### Axis Minor Ticks Customization
  The `axis_minor_ticks` and `axis_minor_ticks_length` parameters in `theme()`.

  See: [example notebook](https://raw.githack.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/axis_minor_ticks.html).

- #### Pan/Zoom in `gggrid()` with Shared Axes
  Pan/Zoom now propagates across subplots with shared axes (`sharex`/`sharey`).

  See: [example notebook](https://raw.githack.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-26a/gggrid_scale_share_zoom.html).
