An alternative graph visualization tool that emphasizes aesthetics, providing default parameters that deliver out-of-the-box lovely visualizations.
Some features:
The package uses the grid
plotting system (just like ggplot2
).
You can install the released version of netplot from CRAN with:
install.packages("netplot")
And the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools") devtools::install_github("USCCANA/netplot")
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
library(igraph) #> #> Attaching package: 'igraph' #> The following objects are masked from 'package:stats': #> #> decompose, spectrum #> The following object is masked from 'package:base': #> #> union library(netplot) #> Loading required package: grid #> #> Attaching package: 'netplot' #> The following object is masked from 'package:igraph': #> #> ego set.seed(1) data("UKfaculty", package = "igraphdata") l <- layout_with_fr(UKfaculty) #> This graph was created by an old(er) igraph version. #> Call upgrade_graph() on it to use with the current igraph version #> For now we convert it on the fly... plot(UKfaculty, layout = l) # ala igraph
V(UKfaculty)$ss <- runif(vcount(UKfaculty)) nplot(UKfaculty, layout = l) # ala netplot
sna::gplot(intergraph::asNetwork(UKfaculty), coord=l)
# Random names set.seed(1) nam <- sample(babynames::babynames$name, vcount(UKfaculty)) ans <- nplot( UKfaculty, layout = l, vertex.color = ~ Group, vertex.nsides = ~ Group, vertex.label = nam, vertex.size.range = c(.01, .03, 4), bg.col = "transparent", vertex.label.show = .25, vertex.label.range = c(10, 25), edge.width.range = c(1, 4, 5), vertex.label.fontfamily = "sans" ) # Plot it! ans
Starting version 0.2-0, we can use gradients!
ans |> set_vertex_gpar( element = "core", fill = lapply(get_vertex_gpar(ans, "frame", "col")$col, \(i) { radialGradient(c("white", i), cx1=.8, cy1=.8, r1=0) }))
# Loading the data data(USairports, package="igraphdata") # Generating a layout naively layout <- V(USairports)$Position #> This graph was created by an old(er) igraph version. #> Call upgrade_graph() on it to use with the current igraph version #> For now we convert it on the fly... layout <- do.call(rbind, lapply(layout, function(x) strsplit(x, " ")[[1]])) layout[] <- stringr::str_remove(layout, "^[a-zA-Z]+") layout <- matrix(as.numeric(layout[]), ncol=2) # Some missingness layout[which(!complete.cases(layout)), ] <- apply(layout, 2, mean, na.rm=TRUE) # Have to rotate it (it doesn't matter the origin) layout <- netplot:::rotate(layout, c(0,0), pi/2) # Simplifying the network net <- simplify(USairports, edge.attr.comb = list( weight = "sum", name = "concat", Passengers = "sum", "ignore" )) # Pretty graph nplot( net, layout = layout, edge.width = ~ Passengers, edge.color = ~ ego(col = "white", alpha = 0) + alter(col = "yellow", alpha = .75), skip.vertex = TRUE, skip.arrows = TRUE, edge.width.range = c(.75, 4, 4), bg.col = "black", edge.line.breaks = 10 )
