Source: NEWS.md

palaeoverse (development version)

  • Added group argument to tax_range_time() and tax_range_strat() and improved plotting (#120)
  • Made bin durations more even and added n_bins option in time_bins() (#131)
  • Added autofit argument to axis_geo() which, when enabled, automatically adjusts the sizes of individual interval labels to fit within the interval boxes (#21)
  • Added title argument to axis_geo() which can be used to add a title to the axis with the timescale (#133)
  • Increased efficiency and reduced hackiness of group_apply() (#135)
