As part of the big categorical plot refactor, a default change was made where plots are no longer implicitly color-mapped.
There is a simple path to restoring the previous default behavior (if desired) when using long-form data: add an explicit redundant hue-mapping. e.g.
boxplot(df, x="grp", y="val") -> boxplot(df, x="grp", y="val", hue="grp")
.But when using wide-form data, there is no equivalent path. So this PR adds some extra backwards-compatibility hacks so that wide-form plots retain the implicit color map. Additionally, wide-form plots can be coerced to a single color by passing
color=
. There is some additional special-casing aroundpointplot
, which has always been an exception in its default behavior.
