* In progress
## lavaanExtra 0.2.2.5
-* `nice_lavaanPlot()`: improve title, note, and fit statistics centering by adding ALIGN="CENTER" to HTML table cells, BALIGN="CENTER" to the table element, labeljust="c" to center the label horizontally, and center="true" to center the entire graph drawing in exported plots (PNG, PDF, JPG)
+* `nice_lavaanPlot()`: Fixed title centering in all output formats (PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG) by:
+ - Adding Graphviz centering attributes (ALIGN="CENTER", BALIGN="CENTER", labeljust="c", center="true")
+ - Refactoring to use `lavaanPlot:::buildCall()` + `DiagrammeR::grViz()` for direct control over DOT diagram generation
+* `save_plot()`: Disabled `add_svg_padding()` which was shifting viewBox and breaking centering in exported plots
## lavaanExtra 0.2.2.4
* Add `save_plot()` function to export/save plots from `nice_lavaanPlot()` and `nice_tidySEM()` with multiple format options (PNG, PDF, SVG, JPG)

* `nice_lavaanPlot()`: Fixed title centering in all output formats (PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG) by:
- Adding Graphviz centering attributes (ALIGN="CENTER", BALIGN="CENTER", labeljust="c", center="true")
- Refactoring to use `lavaanPlot:::buildCall()` + `DiagrammeR::grViz()` for direct control over DOT diagram generation
-* `save_plot()`: Added `engine` parameter with options "rsvg" (default) or "webshot":
- - "rsvg" uses librsvg for SVG rendering (fast, may have font substitution differences)
- - "webshot" uses a headless browser (PhantomJS) for pixel-perfect rendering that matches RStudio viewer exactly
- - Use `engine = "webshot"` when precise font rendering is critical (avoids librsvg font substitution issues)
-* `save_plot()`: Disabled `add_svg_padding()` which was shifting viewBox and breaking centering in exported plots
+* `save_plot()`: Added `use_webshot` parameter (default `TRUE`) for browser-based rendering:
+ - When `TRUE`, uses webshot2 package (headless Chrome via chromote) for pixel-perfect rendering that matches RStudio viewer exactly
+ - Avoids librsvg font substitution issues (Helvetica → DejaVu Sans) that cause text misalignment
+ - Supports PNG, JPG, and PDF formats; SVG uses rsvg directly
+ - Set `use_webshot = FALSE` to use rsvg rendering instead (faster but may have font differences)
+* `save_plot()`: Re-enabled `add_svg_padding()` with horizontal-only padding to provide margin around plot content
## lavaanExtra 0.2.2.4
* Add `save_plot()` function to export/save plots from `nice_lavaanPlot()` and `nice_tidySEM()` with multiple format options (PNG, PDF, SVG, JPG)
