Extract label_repel layer from netify plot components

Source: R/plot_helpers.R
netify_label_repel.Rd

Extracts the label_repel layer from a netify plot components object. Label repel annotations display actor names with background boxes and automatic repositioning to avoid overlaps, providing optimal readability in dense networks.

Usage

netify_label_repel(comp)

Arguments

comp

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

Value

A custom object of class "netify_label_repel" that can be added to a ggplot object using the + operator. The object contains the label_repel 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 label_repel
comp <- plot(net, add_label_repel = TRUE, return_components = TRUE)

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