Vega Yon" date: "`r Sys.Date()`" output: rmarkdown::html_vignette vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{Graph drawing with netplot} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- Some features: 1. Auto-scaling of vertices using sizes relative to the plotting device. 2. Embedded edge color mixer. 3. True curved edges drawing. 4. User-defined edge curvature. 5. Nicer vertex frame color. 6. Better use of space filling the plotting device. ```{r setup, include = FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set( collapse = TRUE, comment = "#>" ) ``` # Introduction ```{r pkgs-and-data, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} library(netplot) library(igraph) library(sna) library(ggraph) # We will use the UKfaculty data from the igraphdata package data("UKfaculty", package = "igraphdata") # With a fixed layout set.seed(225) l_ukf <- layout_with_fr(UKfaculty) ``` Since igraph and statnet do the plotting using base system graphics, we can't put everything in the same device right away. Fortunately, the `gridGraphics` R package allows us to reproduce base graphics using the `grid` system, which, in combination with the function `gridExtra::grid.arrange` will let us put both base and grid graphics in the same page. First me write a func ```{r} # Function to map base to grid map_base_to_grid <- function(fun) { gridGraphics::grid.echo(fun) grid::grid.grab() } ``` ```{r igraph-sna, fig.keep='none'} # Mapping base to grid ig <- map_base_to_grid(function() plot(UKfaculty, main = "igraph")) nw <- map_base_to_grid(function() gplot(as.matrix(as_adj(UKfaculty)), coord = l_ukf, main = "sna")) ``` ```{r nplot, fig.keep='none'} nplot(UKfaculty, layout = l_ukf) grid::grid.text("netplot", x = .05, y=.9) np <- grid::grid.grab() ``` Here is an example with [`ggraph`](https://cran.r-project.org/package=ggraph) ```{r, fig.width=7, fig.height=5, fig.keep='none'} ggraph::ggraph(UKfaculty, layout = l_ukf) + ggraph::geom_edge_arc() + ggraph::geom_node_point() + ggplot2::ggtitle("ggraph") gg <- grid::grid.grab() ``` ```{r, fig.width=7, fig.height=7, fig.cap="Comparison of default `igraph`, `sna`, `ggraph`, and `netplot` default call. `nplot` fills completely the plotting area, and adjusts vertex size, edge width, and edge arrows' size accordingly to the plotting area and plotting device."} # Putting all together gridExtra::grid.arrange(ig, nw, gg, np, nrow=2, ncol=2) ``` # Multiple plots To arrange multiple plots in the same page we can use the `grid.arrange` function from the `gridExtra` package ```{r} x_igraph <- sample_smallworld(1, 20, 4, .05) x_network <- intergraph::asNetwork(x_igraph) l <- layout_nicely(x_igraph) # Putting two plots in the same page (one using igraph and the other network) gridExtra::grid.arrange( nplot(x_igraph, layout = l), nplot(x_network, layout = l), ncol=2, nrow=1 ) ``` # Nodes ```{r node-scaling, fig.width=7, fig.height=7, fig.cap="Modifying `vertex.size.range`: use `NULL` to keep the supplied vertex sizes unchanged."} gridExtra::grid.arrange( nplot(UKfaculty, layout = l_ukf, vertex.size = rep(.025, vcount(UKfaculty)), vertex.size.range = NULL), nplot(UKfaculty, layout = l_ukf, vertex.size.range = c(.01, .025)), nplot(UKfaculty, layout = l_ukf, vertex.size.range = c(.01, .025, 4)), nplot(UKfaculty, layout = l_ukf, vertex.size.range = c(.02, .05, 4)), ncol=2, nrow=2 ) ``` ```{r node-shapes, fig.width=4, fig.height=4, fig.cap="Number of sides for node drawing."} nplot(make_ring(5), vertex.nsides = 2:6, vertex.size.range = c(.1,.1), edge.curvature = 0) ``` # Edges ```{r sim-net} set.seed(12233) x <- sample_smallworld(1, size = 10, nei = 2, .1) l <- layout_with_fr(x) ``` ```{r edge-color, fig.width=7, fig.height=3, fig.cap="Modifying `edge.color.mix`: Each figure shows a different parameter for the edge color mixer. From left to right, (a) colors the edges as alter, (b) mixes ego and alter's colors, and (c) only uses ego"} gridExtra::grid.arrange( nplot( x, layout = l, edge.color = ~ego(mix=0, alpha = .1, col="black") + alter(mix=1), vertex.size.range = c(.05,.1) ), nplot( x, layout = l, edge.color = ~ego(mix=.5, alpha = .1, col="black") + alter(mix=.5), vertex.size.range = c(.05,.1) ), nplot( x, layout = l, edge.color = ~ego(mix=1, alpha = .1, col="black") + alter(mix=0), vertex.size.range = c(.05,.1) ), ncol=3, nrow=1 ) ``` ```{r edge-curvature, fig.width=7, fig.height=3, fig.cap="Modifying `edge.curvature`: Each figure shows a different parameter for the edge curvature. From left to right, (a) straight edges, (b) the edge between ego and alter is an arc that measures $\\pi/2$ radians (90 degree), and (c) the edge as an arc between ego and alter that measures $\\pi$ radians (180 degrees)."} gridExtra::grid.arrange( nplot(x, layout = l, edge.curvature = 0, vertex.size.range = c(.05,.1)), nplot(x, layout = l, edge.curvature = pi/2, vertex.size.range = c(.05,.1)), nplot(x, layout = l, edge.curvature = pi, vertex.size.range = c(.05,.1)), ncol = 3, nrow=1 ) ``` ```{r edge-line-type, fig.width=6, fig.height=6, fig.cap="Changing the number of breaks in the edge (arc) and the type of line to be drawn."} gridExtra::grid.arrange( nplot(x, layout = l, edge.line.breaks=3), nplot(x, layout = l, edge.line.lty = 2, edge.line.breaks=10), nplot(x, layout = l, edge.line.lty = 3, edge.line.breaks=10), nplot(x, layout = l, edge.line.lty = 4, edge.line.breaks=10), nrow=2, ncol=2 ) ``` ## Edge width The `edge.width` parameter controls the relative width of each edge. Values are normalized and mapped to the range `[min, max]` specified by `edge.width.range` (in points). For `nplot.igraph`, this defaults to the `"weight"` edge attribute when present. Use `edge.width.range = NULL` to keep supplied widths unchanged. ```{r edge-width-setup} set.seed(1) x_w <- make_ring(8) # Assign varying edge weights E(x_w)$weight <- c(1, 3, 1, 5, 2, 4, 1, 6) l_w <- layout_in_circle(x_w) ``` ```{r edge-width, fig.width=7, fig.height=3, fig.cap="Effect of `edge.width` and `edge.width.range`. Left: uniform width. Middle: weights mapped to 1–2 pt. Right: raw weights with `edge.width.range = NULL`."} gridExtra::grid.arrange( nplot(x_w, layout = l_w, skip.arrows = TRUE, vertex.size.range = c(.05, .05), edge.width = 1, edge.width.range = c(1, 2)), nplot(x_w, layout = l_w, skip.arrows = TRUE, vertex.size.range = c(.05, .05), edge.width = E(x_w)$weight, edge.width.range = c(1, 2)), nplot(x_w, layout = l_w, skip.arrows = TRUE, vertex.size.range = c(.05, .05), edge.width = E(x_w)$weight, edge.width.range = NULL), ncol = 3, nrow = 1 ) ``` You can also modify edge widths after the plot has been created using `set_edge_gpar()`: ```{r edge-width-set-gpar, fig.width=7, fig.height=3, fig.cap="Using `set_edge_gpar()` to change edge widths after plotting. Left: all edges set to 1 pt. Right: all edges set to 4 pt."} g <- nplot(x_w, layout = l_w, skip.arrows = TRUE, vertex.size.range = c(.05, .05)) gridExtra::grid.arrange( set_edge_gpar(g, element = "line", lwd = 1), set_edge_gpar(g, element = "line", lwd = 4), ncol = 2 ) ```
