Motivation and Context

dataProcessPlots() Profile and QC plots are hard to read in the MSstatsShiny
view, in two independent ways. Reported in TODO-dataprocessplots_overlap_legend.md
(protein turnover collaboration).

  1. Condition names overlap. They are drawn as geom_text() inside the panel
    at each condition block's midpoint. Conditions tile the panel evenly, so each
    name gets panel_width / n_conditions of room regardless of how many runs it
    covers. Long names, or many conditions, run the labels together into an
    unreadable smear.
  2. The legend covers the plot. The feature legend was mounted above the panel
    and grows with the feature count until it swallows the axes. On the Plotly path
    it was worse than cosmetic: ggplotly() silently truncated the legend rather
    than scrolling it, so a 60-feature protein showed only the first 10 entries.

Solution. For the legend, mount it on the side, where Plotly scrolls an
over-tall legend instead of growing it — a protein can then have any number of
features without covering the plot or losing entries. For the labels, fit them to
the room each condition actually gets, applying mitigations in order of what they
cost the reader: drop the stem every name shares (reporting it once in the x-axis
title), then shrink the font, then wrap. Every step is a no-op when the labels
already fit, so plots that render correctly today are unchanged.

Scope is the Plotly path (address = FALSE, isPlotly = TRUE) used by
MSstatsShiny/R/qc-server-plots.R. The ggplot2/PDF path is deliberately left
alone.

Changes

  • .convertGgplot2Plotly() — set theme(legend.position=) on the ggplot
    before ggplotly() runs, not only override it in layout() afterwards.
    ggplotly() reserves the legend band from the ggplot theme; disagreeing with it
    leaves a dead strip across the top and squeezes the panel into the lower-left
    corner. This was the actual cause of the broken layout.
  • .convertGgplot2Plotly() — stop hard-coding width = 800, height = 600 and
    honour the caller's values, which were previously accepted and ignored.
  • dataProcessPlots() — new legend.position argument (default "right";
    accepts "left", "top", "bottom", "none"), so the legend can be
    repositioned or removed.
  • dataProcessPlots() — new width.plotly argument (default 1400), matching
    the container MSstatsShiny already reserves for these plots
    (min-width: 1400px; overflow-x: auto). Only affects isPlotly = TRUE.
  • .stripCommonAffix() (new) — drops the leading tokens every condition name
    shares. Never consumes a name entirely, which would make conditions
    indistinguishable. The removed stem is reported in the x-axis title, e.g.
    MS runs (conditions: Cyno_Colon_Timepoint_*), so nothing is lost from the
    static image.
  • .conditionSlotChars() (new) — characters that fit in one condition's slot.
    Estimated from nchar rather than measured: grid::stringWidth() needs an open
    graphics device, which is not available while the plot is being built, and would
    make the layout device-dependent and the function untestable. Fills 0.85 of the
    slot so labels do not touch their neighbours or overhang the panel edge.
  • .wrapConditionLabels() (new) — wraps at _, ., - and whitespace, since
    strwrap() breaks only at whitespace. Truncates a single token wider than the
    slot, which cannot be broken.
  • .layoutConditionLabels() (new) — applies the three above in order, returning
    the labels, the font size to draw them at, the line count, and the x-axis title.
    Returns unchanged when the labels already fit, or when text.angle != 0 (a
    non-zero angle is a deliberate caller choice).
  • .plotProfile() / .plotQC() — compute the layout, carry the drawn text in a
    new Label column beside the full Name, and add (n_lines - 1) * 0.9 of
    headroom to y.limup when labels wrap, so extra lines do not land on the data.
    Headroom is only added when ylimUp was not set explicitly.
  • .makeProfilePlot() / .makeSummaryProfilePlot() / .makeQCPlot() — draw
    Label at the fitted size with vjust = 1, and take the x-axis title from the
    layout. All three accept condition.layout = NULL and fall back to the previous
    behaviour.
  • .fixConditionLabelHoverPlotly() (new) — puts the untruncated condition name
    back as hovertext, since truncation is the one lossy step. Done as trace
    surgery after conversion, matching the existing .fix*Plotly helpers; an
    aes(text = ) mapping also works but emits
    Ignoring unknown aesthetics: text on every call. Fails soft if the expected
    layer or trace is absent.
  • .fixCensoredPointsLegendProfilePlotsPlotly() — legendrank on the
    "Detected data" / "Censored missing data" entries so they sort above the feature
    list. They are the key to reading the plot and were otherwise below the fold once
    the feature legend started scrolling. They remain clickable toggles.

Rotation was considered and rejected as a mechanism: ggplotly() does not carry
text.angle through, so it does nothing for the Shiny output.

Testing

The existing suite passes unchanged — 68/68 across test_dataProcessPlots.R (16),
test_utils_plots_common.R (16), test_groupComparisonPlots.R (13),
test_groupComparisonQCPlots.R (8), test_modelBasedQCPlots.R (4) and
test_plot_quality_metrics.R (11).

No new unit tests have been added yet. .stripCommonAffix(),
.conditionSlotChars() and .wrapConditionLabels() are pure functions and should
get direct coverage in a new inst/tinytest/test_utils_dataprocess_plots.R before
this merges; right now they are only exercised indirectly.

Verification so far has been by rendering the exact MSstatsShiny call path
(address = FALSE, isPlotly = TRUE, taking [[1]]) and screenshotting the widget
headless, across:

  • Profile plot, profile-with-summary, QC single-protein, and QC "allonly"
  • SRMRawData relabelled to 10 long shared-prefix condition names over 30 runs
  • A 60-feature protein, confirming the legend scrolls and drops no entries
  • A worst case of 10 long names sharing no prefix at one run per condition,
    where stripping cannot help and the fallback shrink/truncate path runs
  • Unmodified SRMRawData (short condition names) as a no-regression control —
    x-axis title, label text and font size are identical to devel
  • Reference/Endogenous confirmed side by side in every case

Hover was verified programmatically:

drawn : 0hr | 12hrs | 168hrs
hover : Cyno_Colon_Timepoint_0hr | Cyno_Colon_Timepoint_12hrs | Cyno_Colon_Timepoint_168hrs

Checklist Before Requesting a Review

  • My changes generate no new warnings
  • Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules
  • I have run the devtools::document() command after my changes and committed the added files

Motivation and solution

Plotly plots used fixed canvas and HTML container dimensions. Legend placement could also cover chart content. This change applies caller-provided dimensions to Plotly output and places the feature legend beside the plot.

Changes

  • Added a legend.position argument and set the ggplot legend position before ggplotly() conversion.
  • Passed the requested width and height to Plotly conversion and to the HTML plot container.
  • Positioned the profile, QC, and condition plot legends to the right of the chart after trace post-processing.
  • Removed fixed Plotly dimensions and the horizontal legend setting.
  • Updated the function documentation and Version 4.22.0 development notes.
  • Assigned ranks to censored-data legend entries.
  • Removed the extra floated-container construction.

Condition-label layout changes described in the commit messages are outside this PR’s scope.

Tests added or modified

  • Added tests for ProfilePlot legend visibility, orientation, and position.
  • Added tests for the QCPlot default width, caller-provided width, and HTML container dimensions.
  • Added a regression test for the VolcanoPlot default canvas width.
  • Test execution results were not provided.

… the plot

The Plotly output used by MSstatsShiny was unreadable on two axes. Condition
names are drawn inside the panel at each block's midpoint, so long names or
many conditions ran them together into a smear. The feature legend sat above
the panel and grew with the feature count until it covered the axes, and
ggplotly silently dropped entries past the first ten rather than scrolling.

Legend: move it to the side, where Plotly scrolls an over-tall legend instead
of growing it, so no protein can cover the plot and no entries are dropped.
The theme has to be set before ggplotly() runs, not only overridden in
layout() afterwards -- ggplotly reserves the legend band from the ggplot
theme, and disagreeing with it leaves a dead strip across the top and squeezes
the panel into the corner. .convertGgplot2Plotly() also stops hard-coding
800x600 and honours the caller's width and height, which were being ignored.
New legend.position and width.plotly arguments expose the placement and the
canvas; width.plotly defaults to the 1400px container MSstatsShiny already
reserves for these plots.

Condition labels: fit them to the room each condition actually gets, applying
the mitigations in order of what they cost the reader. Drop the stem every
name shares and report it once in the x-axis title, then shrink the font, then
wrap. Each step is a no-op when the labels already fit, so plots that render
correctly today are untouched. Rotation is deliberately not used: ggplotly
does not carry it through, so it does nothing for the Shiny output.

Truncation is the one lossy step, so .fixConditionLabelHoverPlotly() puts the
untruncated name back on hover. That is done as trace surgery after
conversion, matching the other .fix*Plotly helpers, because an aes(text=)
mapping would emit "Ignoring unknown aesthetics" on every call.

Detected/censored keys are pinned above the feature list with legendrank so
they stay visible without scrolling, and stay clickable.

Verified against the MSstatsShiny call path (address = FALSE, isPlotly = TRUE)
for profile, profile-with-summary and QC plots, including a 60-feature protein
and a worst case of ten long names sharing no prefix at one run per condition.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Covers the condition label layout helpers directly. They are pure functions of
the names and the canvas geometry, so their edge cases -- a stem shared only
mid-token, names that would strip to nothing, a token too wide to break, the
legibility floor on the font -- are worth pinning down without rendering a
plot to look at them.

devtools::check() leaves 2 errors, both of which reproduce unchanged on devel:
the dataProcess FeatureLevelData snapshot in test_dataProcess.R, and
MSstatsWorkflow.Rmd sourcing R files by relative path. Neither involves the
plotting code touched here.

Explanation

The description has the required sections and checklist, but it mainly documents condition-label layout work that the objectives identify as out of scope. It also states that no unit tests were added, while the changes include new tests. The description does not accurately summarize the actual legend placement and plot-sizing changes.

Resolution

Rewrite the description to focus on legend placement before Plotly conversion, legend ordering, width and height propagation, the legend.position and width.plotly arguments, and the added regression tests. Remove condition-label layout claims and correct the testing section.

Only "right" worked. The placement was hard-coded to a right-side vertical
legend in .convertGgplot2Plotly(), so "left", "top" and "bottom" were accepted
and then ignored -- and because the ggplot theme *was* set to the requested
side, ggplotly reserved a band there that nothing went on to occupy.
legend.position = "top" therefore pushed the title into the middle of the
canvas and compressed the panel, which is the failure the surrounding work
exists to fix. plotly::layout() defers into layoutAttrs and merges at build
time, which is why this looked correct under inspection of x$layout.

Placement now lives in .applyLegendPositionPlotly(), which maps each value to
an anchor and orientation that agree with the theme, and gives "left" and
"bottom" margin of their own to sit outside the axis furniture.

It is applied last, after every .fix*Plotly() step. Those helpers rewrite
showlegend on individual traces -- .fixCensoredPointsLegendProfilePlotsPlotly()
turns the detected and censored entries back on -- so anything deciding
whether the legend is drawn has to run after them. For "none" both the layout
flag and every trace are cleared. Only the layout flag was set before, which
happens to be what plotly.js honours, so the legend was hidden but sat over
traces still marked visible.

legend.position is now validated at entry, so an unsupported value fails
instead of silently falling back.

Documented that only the side placements scroll. A horizontal legend grows
rather than scrolling, so "top" and "bottom" can still crowd the panel on
proteins with many features; they are a trade-off rather than an equivalent
choice.

Keep truncated labels within chars.

When chars is between 1 and 3, this expression keeps one character and appends "...", producing a four-character label. .conditionSlotChars() can return 1L for cramped layouts, so labels can still overlap neighboring conditions.

Handle infinite widths before slot arithmetic.

At Line 102, Inf passes the validation because it is numeric, scalar, non-missing, and positive. Line 117 then converts Inf to NA, so .layoutConditionLabels() can evaluate if (max(nchar(labels)) <= NA) and fail. Treat non-finite widths as unknown, or reject them before calling this helper.

I'd say limit 3 lines of wrapping before cutting off a label completely. I just tried with this test case, and it makes the condition labels look really bad. But hovering should reveal the full condition name.

A plain cut drops the tail, which is what distinguishes the names (...Alpha_Treated and ...Alpha_Control both became Cohort|Baseline|Liv...), so the last line keeps both ends instead

Why can't we re-use the width parameter? Do other plots (e.g. PDF plots) look bad if we change the default to 1400 for the width parameter? I'm hesitant to add extra parameters to our functions.

Dropped it . Bumping the default to 1400 would hurt the PDFs though: savePlot() divides by 72 before pdf(), so 1400 gives a 19.4 x 8.3in letterbox page, and the font sizes are absolute so they don't scale with it. Instead the Plotly canvas width is now an internal constant — which is effectively what groupComparisonPlots already does, since it never forwards a width and just inherits .convertGgplot2Plotly()'s own 1400 default.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep a migration path for removed public arguments.

dataProcessPlots() is exported, but its signature no longer accepts legend.position or width.plotly. Callers that still pass either named argument receive an unused argument error before plotting. Keep deprecated arguments for one release with a warning, or document the breaking release and migration: omit both arguments because Plotly now applies the fixed right-side legend and package-controlled canvas sizing.

I don't think we should be hard-coding this. Just because MSstatsShiny uses 1400 as the width doesn't mean every user wants to use 1400 as the width. e.g. What if someone is viewing this on the Rstudio browser, or wants to export the plotly plot as an HTML? Instead, you should pass 1400 as the width within the MSstatsShiny app.

Plus, you indirectly made the groupComparisonPlot width as 1400px in MSstatsShiny, which is too wide visually.

Can you remove these unnecessary test comments. The test should be clear with a single comment (i.e. just line 85 by itself), otherwise the test is too complicated.

The msstats_demo.csv dataset I provided still is not publication ready. If you generate a profile plot for the protein ending in S68, 168hrs gets cut off.

Maybe in the MSstatsShiny app, hard-code a larger width for the protein turnover template for dataProcessPlots (e.g. maybe 1800?)

Keep this PR to the Plotly legend placement and width/height sizing. The
condition label layout (shared-prefix stripping, font shrink, wrapping,
full name on hover), the label position tweaks (vjust, y.limup - 0.5),
their tests and NEWS entry move to fix-dpp-condition-labels. Also drop
the stray Rplots.pdf.

🟡 Minor · Pass the requested dimensions to the comparison-plot converter. · dataProcessPlots.R:628-639

R/dataProcessPlots.R:628-639
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Pass the requested dimensions to the comparison-plot converter.

When groupComparisonPlots runs with isPlotly = TRUE and nondefault dimensions, the comparison path creates an 800×600 Plotly widget but wraps it in an HTML container sized to the caller's width and height. The canvas and container can therefore mismatch.

Suggested fix
-                plotly_plot <- .convertGgplot2Plotly(plot,tips=c("text"))
+                plotly_plot <- .convertGgplot2Plotly(
+                    plot, tips = c("text"), width = width, height = height
+                )
