Previous changes from v4.0.0

  • 💥 BREAKING CHANGES: Due to refactorings performed in the source code, the v4.0.0 is no longer backward compatible with earlier versions of the Lets-Plot Kotlin API.

    🔄 Changed

    • 🚚 All previously deprecated API were removed.

    • The prefix "org" was added to all package names in the project.

    • 📦 Some API elements were moved from package org.jetbrains.letsPlot to a more specific subpackages:

      • Plot theme elements were moved to subpackage themes
      • Coordinate system functions were moved to subpackage coord
      • Position adjustment functions were moved to subpackage pos

    • 🗄 Deprecated API:

      • Position adjustment constants: identity, stack, fill, dodge, nudge and jitterdodge (defined in the Pos object), are now deprecated in favor of the correspondent top level elements defined in the (new) org.jetbrains.letsPlot.pos package: positionIdentity, positionStack, positionFill, positionDodge(), positionNudge() and positionJitterDodge().

    Migrating to 4.0.0

    In Kotlin project

    • ⚡️ Update all import statements: import jetbrains.letsPlot.. → import org.jetbrains.letsPlot..
    • ⚡️ In all places in your project where the code needs to be updated, IntelliJ will show you a deprecation WARNING and will offer to fix this automatically.

    In Jupyter notebook

    • As soon as you start using 4.0.0 in you notebook, the only thing you will want to do is to manually replace all deprecated Pos.abc expressions with their new equivalents:
      • Pos.identity → positionIdentity
      • Pos.stack → positionStack
      • Pos.fill → positionFill
      • Pos.dodge → positionDodge()
      • Pos.nudge → positionNudge()
      • Pos.jitterdodge → positionJitterDodge()

    NOTE: If your notebook also uses another Kotlin library which depends on an older version of Lets-Plot, then the classloader may refuse to load classes from both libraries. If this is the case, then you will want to do NOT update your notebook to Lets-Plot v4.0.0 as yet: ✅ > - Make sure your notebook is not using the %useLatestDescriptors line magic

    • Make sure you are using Kotlin Jupyter Kernel version 0.11.0.95 (or earlier), which bundles a previous version of Lets-Plot.
