Slick 1.1.0

New features

  • The Quilt table can now be added to the Report in the App. The table is saved as an image with flextable::save_as_image(); the ragg package is now required for this (added to Suggests).
  • Items can now be removed from the Report in the App.
  • Accessibility improvements to the App: plots and explanatory images now have alternative text for screen reader.
  • The example Slick object WSKJ is now shown in the README, the Developer’s Guide, ?WSKJ, and the examples for the plotting and class functions.

Changes

  • OMs@Preset is now a flat named list of Design row indices, matching the format already used by MPs@Preset (and the performance-metric Presets), instead of a nested list keyed by Factor. The old nested format is still accepted and is auto-converted for backward compatibility (by Preset() and Update()).
  • Added checks to the Preset slots: names must be unique and non-blank, and values must be whole numbers within range, with no duplicates. Slick objects with invalid Presets are rejected when loaded in the App.
  • Check() on a Slick object now warns when the OM or MP dimension of a plot’s Value doesn’t match the number of OMs or MPs in the object.
  • The App now shows the details of the errors when an invalid Slick object is loaded, and no longer loads an invalid object passed to App(slick=).
  • FilterSlick() now ignores out-of-range MP, OM, and PI indices, and uses all of them if none are valid.
  • plotKobe(Time=TRUE): the stacking order of the Kobe Time bars is reversed, so the bottom-right (green) quadrant is now at the bottom of each bar. The new BR_bottom argument controls this (BR_bottom=FALSE restores the previous order).

Bug fixes

  • plotBoxplot() now works when PI has more than one value.
  • plotKobe(): the OMs argument is now used when it includes NA values.
  • plotQuilt(): fixed the lower limit of the color shading when MinValue was set, and the shading of the static (kable=TRUE) table now matches the interactive table.
  • plotTradeoff() now ignores NA values when averaging over OMs.
  • Update() now reads the target and limit reference points correctly from legacy Slick objects, including for the Time Series plot.
  • App: fixed the OM filter so it selects the correct OMs for presets and for factors whose levels are not in ascending order.
  • App: fixed the Kobe plot axis limits for performance indicators other than the first two.
  • App: the Quilt plot page now works when Value includes the simulation dimension.
  • App: fixed errors when filtering MPs for a Quilt with a simulation dimension, and for some transient MP selections.
  • App: the “deselect” button in the filters now clears the selection.
