Visualization is different across computers?

[andburch]

When I plot dabest objects, I get annoying black borders around the effect size distributions, seen here. They look ugly and can partially hide the actual confidence intervals.

Additionally, when I re-knitted "bootstrap-confidence-intervals.Rmd," all the images with distribution curves (even the images not created with dabestr) had black borders. Not sure what that means.

Anyway, I included my session info below, if that helps. I'm running Windows, and I know not everyone else does.

Sorry for this, getting an ugly plot is definitely frustrating!

Could you see what happens when you update ggplot2 to 3.2.0, i.e. the latest version?

[andburch]

Unfortunately, I get the same thing!

Edit: I updated all the packages that dabestr imports, nothing changed it.

[josesho]

Do you get these black borders when you run the code through the console, and then save the images manually?

[andburch]

Yes! I'm using RStudio, I use the console, then I save them. They look like that in the "Plots" window, even before I save them too.

In case you still have this issue, I have just discovered that if you export the dabest object plots using the Cairo package, the unwanted black borders disappear from the saved images. Happy plotting!

[andburch]

Ah, this makes sense! I've recently been having other, unrelated difficulties with Cairo not being the default on Windows! Thank you so much.
