This package allows to pass network objects to ggplot2, along with several geometries to plot their elements.
Install from CRAN, or from GitHub with devtools:
# stable
install.packages("ggnetwork")
# dev
devtools::install_github("briatte/ggnetwork")IMPORTANT: the ggnetwork package depends on ggplot2 version 2.0.0 or above.
The package vignette contains detailed examples of how to use its fortify method and each of its geometries.
For further examples that use ggnetwork with other packages to produce animated graphs, see James Curley's slides on “Interactive and Dynamic Network Visualization in R.”
Comments and suggestions are very welcome: please file them as issues.
