Moderator value default differs between "int" and "pred"?

[sj-perry]

Hello, I just noticed something that might be worth either fixing, if it is a bug, or at least mentioning in the documentation of plot_model().

For the mdrt.values argument, the documentation states that "minmax" is the default. I have found this to be the case if I call type="int", but if I call type="pred" it plots the "meansd" method. Specifying the argument to "minmax", does not change the plot in this case. Apologies if I've missed something in the documentation. Here is an example:

library(sjPlot)

mtcars$vs <- as.factor(as.character(mtcars$vs))
mtcars$am <- as.factor(as.character(mtcars$am))

m1 <- lm(mpg ~ vs * am * hp,
         data = mtcars)

plot_model(m1,
           type = "int")

plot_model(m1,
           type = "pred",
           terms = c("vs", "am", "hp"))

plot_model(m1,
           type = "pred",
           terms = c("vs", "am", "hp"),
           mdrt.values = "minmax")
