Changelog for svgling

[0.5.0] - Documentation and node rendering - 2024-08-20

This version is intended to be the last release that is marked as a beta / pre-1.0 version.

New features:

  • Support for arbitrary SVG node contents, via the node_builder decorator
  • Support for handling of custom tree node classes, via the TreeOptions option tree_split, as well as a pre-provided handler for nltk's ProbabilisticTree class
  • Built-in node builder (svgling.core.subscript_node) for nodes that have a subscript
  • A figure class HTMLSideBySide that allows mixing hybrid HTML diagrams with SVG diagrams

Documentation:

  • Major documentation improvements, convert docs to quarto

Fixes, improvements, changes:

  • Support a repeated call notation for most TreeLayout public functions
  • Improvements to the draw_tree and tree2svg APIs
  • Fix for constituent underlines at the exact lower edge of a figure
  • Compatibility mode for rendering (some) svgling.html diagrams in quarto
  • Refactor of the node construction API that goes along with the node_builder change
  • Build/install improvements

[0.4.0] - Node styling and compatibility - 2023-09-25

As of 0.3.1, svgling is the default tree-drawing package for nltk Trees in Jupyter; this update provides better compatibility for that. It also improves some styling options, and direct support for format conversion.

New features:

  • Limited per-node styling in trees: supports changing font style, size, and color/fill
  • convenience wrappers to make conversion to PNG/PDF via the cairosvg package easier (cairosvg is now an optional package dependency)
  • Support nltk.Tree objects directly in svgling.figure classes

Fixes, improvements, changes:

  • Simplify import code for nltk, remove monkeypatching
  • The option global_font_style is renamed to just font_style
  • Refactor TreeOptions to make it easier to pass around options bundles
  • Default change: relative_units=False. This provides better compatibility with inkscape, among other things. This option is now deprecated.
  • Documentation improvements

[0.3.1] - Inkscape compatibility - 2021-10-11

New feature:

  • Compatibility mode aimed at Inkscape: allow using px instead of relative em units. This allows current versions of Inkscape to load the output SVGs. This mode is not on by default.

Fixes, improvements, changes:

  • Update documentation to reflect some issues in MathJax math mode delimeter choice for hybrid mode.

[0.3.0] - Hybrid HTML/SVG tree drawing - 2018-12-10

New features:

  • Basic support for drawing trees using a mix of HTML/CSS (for positioning) and SVG (for line drawing). This is much more limited than the core drawing algorithms, but allows for arbitrary node labels + MathJax.

Fixes, improvements, changes:

  • Improve documentation

[0.2.0] - Core features complete - 2018-11-26

New features:

  • Support for multi-line nodes.
  • Edge styles, muti-segment descents for level skipping.
  • Wrote a manual.
  • Tree annotations: movement arrows, constituent highlighting / underlining.
  • Complex figures: grids of trees, captioning.

Fixes, improvements, changes:

  • Massively improve responsivity of svgling diagrams.
  • TreeLayout objects manage font size directly.
  • distance_to_daughter is now a distance between levels, i.e. excluding node height.

[0.1.3] - Bugfix release - 2018-11-8

  • Fix for non-leaf nodes that are larger than the leaf nodes they dominate.
  • More flexible arguments to draw_tree (will accept the top node + children via variable arguments, rather than a list/tuple as the first argument.)
  • Documentation improvements.

[0.1.2] - First real release - 2018-11-7

  • Support for basic tree drawing with lists and nltk.tree.Tree objects.
