IPV 1.0.0
We thank an anonymous reviewer for suggesting many of the
improvements in this version!
Added features
- Introduced class 
"IPV" for the output of the estimation
function ipv_est and added first version of functions
is.IPV, validate_IPV, and
new_IPV. 
- Chart functions now all work (exclusively) on objects of class
"IPV" with facet_chart and item_chart having the user
specify which of the tests should be plotted via the test
argument in nested cases. 
ipv_est and input functions now (exclusively) produce
output of class "IPV". 
- Estimation function 
ipv_est can now pass further
arguments to the underlying lavaan estimation function
lavaan::cfa. Among other things, this makes it possible to
choose the estimator and treat missing values in various ways. 
- Changed example dataset 
HEXACO to also include cases
with missing values. 
ipv_est now also works for data in long format. 
- Example on how to add ggplot layers to an IPV chart to the vignette
(this has been possible before, but should be emphasized)
 
- Optional markers for the center distances in facet and nested charts
emphasize that the values are read at the border of the circles
(included by default).
 
- When creating an 
item_overview, it is now possible to
scale the font size (size_font =), specify the number of
rows per facet to wrap overly wide charts (wrap =), scale
the width (width =) and height (height =) of
the file output, and select a subset of tests (tests =) and
facets (facets =) for display. 
Bugfixes
- resolved a warning message for nested charts that include tests
without facets (no effect on output)
 
- Function 
rename renamed to relabel to
avoid conflicts with other packages. 
- Resolved multiple issues with inconsistent positioning of labels in
item_overview charts and changed the default font to
‘sans’, since the consistent width of monospaced letters is no longer
needed. 
- Changed several examples to include more appropriate models at the
expense of runtime.
 
IPV 0.2.0
Added Features
- Package now works based on raw data with automated model estimation
using lavaan (function 
ipv_est). This is now the
recommended workflow! 
- New raw example data (
HEXACO) from the open psychometrics project
(see ?HEXACO). 
- Create an overview over all (squared) factor loadings in all three
models on which a nested chart is based (function
item_overview). 
- Refined method available to compute center distances for groups of
items (parameter 
cd_method = "aggregate"). This is now the
default method! 
- Show only a section of a chart (parameters 
zoom_x and
zoom_y) 
- Convenient changing of test, facet, or item labels (function
rename). 
- Rotate the tick label in facet charts and nested charts to avoid
overlap (parameter 
rotate_tick_label). 
- Set the limit of the grid in item charts (parameter
grid_limit). 
- Set the order of facets for all charts types (parameter
facet_order). 
- Set the order of tests for nested charts (parameter
test_order). 
- Add an overall title for all chart types (parameter
title). 
- Draw xarrows in a nested chart that end on a test circle (instead of
a facet circle) if 
facet1or facet2 is
specified as NA for that arrow. 
- Overhaul of the documentation in the vignette.
 
Bugfixes
- Standardized the default order of facets across facet charts and
item charts. It is now consistently the order of the correlation matrix
columns in 
data =. 
- Negative correlations between facets or tests should now be
displayed correctly.
 
- Removed an erroneous message claiming that the axis tick was set
automatically when it was set manually.
 
- The axis tick mark (gray dotted circle) now disappears “behind”
circles of facet charts and nested charts, instead of cutting through
them.
 
- the axis tick label (number) now more reliably appears close to the
axis tick mark in facet charts and nested charts.
 
- removed the argument 
show_xarrows in
nested_chart, which only existed for technical
reasons.
