cannot apply check_model title with patchwork::plot_annotation about performance HOT 4 CLOSED

plot() returns a list of ggplot-objects, not an object where you can add layers from patchwork. However, is you use see::plots() on a list of ggplot-objects, that will return a patchwork-object:

library(easystats)
library(patchwork)

m <- lm(mpg ~ factor(cyl) + disp + hp, data = mtcars)
pp <- check_model(m)

x <- plot(pp)
plots(x, n_columns = 2) + plot_annotation(title = 'mtcars model')

@strengejacke i had thought plot() returned the patchwork object. Did we change that at some point? I don't seem much value in retuning a list vs the final thing that is shown by default--should we change it?

from performance.

Maybe we can just add an else here?

Yes I am fairly sure that plot() returned the patchwork object at some point, and now returns a list.
