Data preparation for plotting 'netify' objects

net_plot_data.Rd

This function prepares the necessary data components for visualizing 'netify' objects. It processes network attributes and setups up layout and aesthetic parameters for subsequent plotting.

Usage

net_plot_data(netlet, plot_args = list())

Arguments

netlet

A 'netify' object, which contains the network data structured for analysis and visualization.

plot_args

A list of arguments that influence the layout and presentation of the network visualization, including: - point_layout: Optional, user-provided node layout; if not provided, layout will be generated based on layout parameter. - layout: Specifies the layout algorithm from 'igraph' to position the nodes if point_layout is not provided. Available options include "nicely", "fruchterman.reingold", "kamada.kawai", "random", "circle", "star", "grid", "graphopt", "sugiyama", "drl", "lgl", "bipartite", "tree", "randomly", "dh", "fr", "kk", "gem", and "mds". - remove_isolates: Logical; if TRUE, isolates will be removed from the plot. Default is TRUE. - static_actor_positions: Logical indicating whether to use static positions for actors. - add_edges: Logical; if TRUE, edges will be added to the plot. Default is TRUE. - curve_edges: Logical; if TRUE, edges will be curved. Default is FALSE. - add_points: Logical; if TRUE, points (nodes) will be plotted. Default is TRUE. - add_text: Logical; if TRUE, text annotations will be added. Default is FALSE. - add_label: Logical; if TRUE, labels will be added. Default is FALSE. - select_text: A vector of node names to specifically add text to; others will not have text. - select_label: A vector of node names to specifically add labels to; others will not have labels.

Value

A list containing plot_args, ggnet_params, and net_dfs which are used for setting up the plot: - plot_args: Adjusted plotting arguments including layout and graphical settings. - ggnet_params: Graphical parameters organized for nodes, edges, and labels. - net_dfs: Data frames for nodes and edges prepared for plotting.
