create a multi-panel mixing matrix visualization — plot_mixing_matrix

creates a faceted plot showing multiple mixing matrices, useful for comparing patterns across time periods or network layers.

Usage

plot_mixing_matrix_facet(
  mixing_results,
  matrices_to_plot = NULL,
  ncol = NULL,
  shared_scale = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

mixing_results: output from mixing_matrix() with multiple matrices
matrices_to_plot: integer vector. which matrices to include. default NULL plots all.
ncol: integer. number of columns in facet layout. default NULL auto-calculates.
shared_scale: logical. whether to use the same color scale across panels. default TRUE.
...: additional arguments passed to plot_mixing_matrix for each panel

Value

a ggplot2 object with faceted mixing matrices

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# create temporal network
data(icews)
net_temporal <- netify(
    icews,
    actor1 = "i", actor2 = "j",
    time = "year",
    symmetric = FALSE,
    weight = "verbCoop"
)

# run mixing matrix analysis across time
mixing_temporal <- mixing_matrix(
    net_temporal,
    attribute = "i_polity2_cat"
)

# create faceted visualization
plot_mixing_matrix_facet(mixing_temporal, ncol = 2)
} # }
