Changelog

Improved package startup message: now includes automatic citation information.
Added a user warning about temporary incompatibility with ggplot2 ≥ 4.0.0.
Scatter plots now support the reference_var argument for simulated variables.
Error bars in scatter plots are now drawn using the same colors as their associated points.

Fixed several issues in scatter plots:
- Corrected rendering for the “crop mixture - all_situations” case with shape = “symbol” and shape = “group”.
- Ensured identical x and y scales for sim/obs scatter plots.
- Increased max.overlaps to avoid text overlap warnings when using symbol = “txt”.
Fixed computation of residuals when using reference variables.
Removed non-ASCII characters from the startup message to ensure CRAN portability.
Cleaned up unused package dependencies in DESCRIPTION.

Dropped unnecessary dependencies (crayon, rstudioapi, stringr).
Increased the minimal R version requirement to 4.2.0 (previously 4.1.0) to ensure compatibility with Hmisc (ggplot2).
Continuous integration (CI) improvements:
- Temporarily force installation of ggplot2 3.5.2 to avoid test failures.
- Adjusted R versions and OS settings in GitHub Actions (Windows/Linux).
General code styling and minor cleanup across functions and tests.

Character vectors in simulated results no more mess up dynamic graphs
Filtered zeros in obs/sim vectors when they are used as denominator in stat. criteria (=> MAPE and RME no more take Inf values)
An error is now detected when plots of unknown variables are requested
Added tests to automatically compare generated graphs with reference ones
Fixed a few other bugs (missing regression line for scatter plots in some cases, number of labels for shape_sit=“txt”, …)

Added the possibility to plot residuals of variables in function of residuals of other variables

Fixed warnings generated by last version of ggplot2 due to existing fields provided in aes but that are not actually used (#10).
Fixed a bug in plot that occurred when trying to plot several versions of simulated results and without intercrop situations.
Fixed cff file generation using github action. Now generated on each commit that modifies the Description file + on release.
Minor changes to clean the code following CRAN checks procedure application.

For users:

Update functions names to be homogeneous across SticsRPacks
Add a method for [ for cropr_simulation, i.e. we can now index the output of plots using [
Deprecate bind_rows_sim for bind_rows
Fix issue in scatter plot with all_situations = FALSE to get the situation name as hover in plotly
More documentation
Compatibility with R >= 4.0.0 + making sure it still works with 3.6.0 <= R < 4.0.0
Fix issue in format_cropr
Fix issue where points and lines were drawn twice
Fix issue where points were not colored properly
Fix issue when overlapping (not grouped properly)
Fix issue where lines were not colored properly
Fix issue for plots with residuals + custom x variable
Fix issue with several versions but only one has common values btw obs and sim

Internals:

Added labels so that situation names appear in ggplotly graphs
Fixed bug with successive argument:
- did not work with several lists of situations,
- did not work with observations of only a subset of the situations.
Fixed save_plot_pdf function

Updated README wrt changes in SticsRFiles package
Fixed position of situation label when using shape_sit = “txt” in scatter plots.

Add bind_rows_sim and split_df2sim helper functions to either bind a list of simulations into a single data.frame or to split it back. Works also on observations.
summary can now be grouped by crops. Useful for cases where we have different usms with different crops, and for intercropping.
Rename plot saving functions: plot_save -> save_plot_png & save_plot -> save_plot_pdf
Fix a bug in the legend when plotting two versions in sole crop without observations (only one legend instead of two). See #8039.
Graphs of residues are no longer plotted with square axes
Fix an issue on extract_plot for residues plots
Update documentation
Several little fixes: added quotes on situation to remove a warning,

For that, the sim_list element of the variable returned by the wrapper must have the attribute cropr_simulation, please refer to the guidelines for implementing a crop model R wrapper for CroptimizR for more details.

some bugs fixed (coloring for model comparison and overlapping variables, absence of Plant columns in obs and/or sim, …)
