Hello,
I have noticed that with a more recent version of {ggplot2}, gg_check() does not flag spelling errors as expected.
For example, this is the code I ran and the output I see:
library(ggplot2)
library(hrbrthemes)
df <- data.frame(
x = c(20, 25, 30),
y = c(4, 4, 4),
txt = c("One", "Two", "Three")
)
# not piping
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) +
geom_point() +
labs(
x = "This is some txt",
y = "This is more text",
title = "Thisy is a titlle",
subtitle = "This is a subtitley",
caption = "This is a captien"
) -> gg
gg_check(gg)
I would have expected to see messages flagging potentially misspelled words here, based on the function help page.
Thank you,
Arianna
