Set scale labels for netify plots

Provides a convenient way to set labels for aesthetic scales in netify plots. This function simplifies the process of labeling scales that may be spread across different layers (edges, nodes, text, labels).

Usage

netify_scale_labels(...)

Arguments

...

Named arguments where the name is the aesthetic_component (e.g., "edge_alpha", "node_size", "edge_color") and the value is the label text to display in the legend

Value

A custom object of class "netify_labels" that can be added to a netify plot using the + operator

Details

This function provides a user-friendly interface for setting scale labels without needing to understand the complexity of ggnewscale. The naming convention is:

• edge_* for edge aesthetics (e.g., edge_color, edge_alpha)

• node_* or point_* for node aesthetics (both work)

• text_* for text label aesthetics

• label_* for boxed label aesthetics

Note

This function only works with plots created using netify's plot method. It will issue a warning if used with other ggplot objects.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# set labels for different scales
plot(my_netify_obj,
     edge_alpha_var = "weight",
     point_size_var = "degree") +
  netify_scale_labels(
    edge_alpha = "Connection Strength",
    node_size = "Node Degree"  # node_* is converted to point_*
  )
} # }
