Extract label layer from netify plot components

Source: R/plot_helpers.R
netify_label.Rd

Extracts the label layer from a netify plot components object. Labels display actor names or other text annotations with background boxes, making them more visible against complex network backgrounds.

Usage

netify_label(comp)

Arguments

comp

A netify_plot_components object returned from plot(..., return_components = TRUE)

Value

A custom object of class "netify_label" that can be added to a ggplot object using the + operator. The object contains the label layer with all its aesthetic mappings and data.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# create a netify object
net <- netify(my_data, actor1 = "from", actor2 = "to")

# get plot components with labels
comp <- plot(net, add_label = TRUE, return_components = TRUE)

# build custom plot with labels
library(ggplot2)
ggplot() + netify_label(comp)
} # }
