Title: A Lightweight Interface Between 'ggplot2' and 'igraph' Objects
Description: Interface to integrate 'igraph' and 'ggplot2' graphics within spatial maps. 'RGraphSpace' implements new geometric objects using 'ggplot2' prototypes, customized for representing large 'igraph' objects in a normalized coordinate system. By scaling shapes and graph elements, 'RGraphSpace' can provide a framework for layered visualizations.

RGraphSpace: A lightweight package for representing large igraph objects in a normalized coordinate system

Description

RGraphSpace is an R package that integrates igraph and ggplot2 graphics within spatial maps. RGraphSpace implements new geometric objects using ggplot2 protypes, customized for representing large igraph objects in a normalized coordinate system. By scaling shapes and graph elements, RGraphSpace can provide a framework for layered visualizations.

Constructor of GraphSpace-class objects

Description

GraphSpace is a constructor of GraphSpace-class objects.

Usage

GraphSpace(g, mar = 0.1, layout = NULL, image = NULL, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

g

An igraph object. It must include graph coordinates assigned to x and y vertex attributes, and vertex labels assigned to name vertex attribute.

mar

A single numeric value (in [0,1]) indicating the size of the outer margins as a fraction of the graph space. Note: When an image is provided, mar is a fraction of image margins.

layout

An optional numeric matrix with two columns for x and y coordinates.

image

An optional background image. When provided, x and y coordinates must represent pixel positions in the image space.

verbose

A single logical value specifying to display detailed messages (when verbose=TRUE) or not (when verbose=FALSE).

Value

A GraphSpace class object.

getGraphSpace retrives information from individual slots available in a GraphSpace object.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'GraphSpace'
getGraphSpace(gs, what = "graph")

Arguments

A preprocessed GraphSpace class object

what

A single character value specifying which information should be retrieved from the slots. Options: 'graph','gxy','gxyz','pars','misc','status','summits', 'summit_mask', and 'summit_contour'.

Value

Content from slots in the GraphSpace object.

Examples

# Load a demo igraph
data('gtoy1', package = 'RGraphSpace')

# Create a new GraphSpace object
gs <- GraphSpace(gtoy1)

# Get the 'summary' slot in gs
getGraphSpace(gs, what = 'graph')

data(gtoy1)

Format

igraph

Value

A pre-processed igraph object.

Source

This package.

Examples

data(gtoy1)
data(gtoy2)

Accessors for applying essential igraph methods to modify attributes of GraphSpace objects.

## S4 replacement method for signature 'GraphSpace'
names(x) <- value

## S4 method for signature 'GraphSpace'

## S4 method for signature 'GraphSpace'
gs_vertex_attr(x, name, ...)

## S4 replacement method for signature 'GraphSpace'
gs_vertex_attr(x, name, ...) <- value

## S4 method for signature 'GraphSpace'
gs_edge_attr(x, name, ...)

## S4 replacement method for signature 'GraphSpace'
gs_edge_attr(x, name, ...) <- value

Examples

# Load a demo igraph

# Create a new GraphSpace object
gs <- GraphSpace(gtoy1)

# Usage of GraphSpace attribute accessors:

# Get edge count
gs_ecount(gs)

# Access all vertex attributes
gs_vertex_attr(gs)

# Modify a single value within a vertex attribute
gs_vertex_attr(gs, "nodeSize")["n1"] <- 10

# Replace an entire vertex attribute
gs_vertex_attr(gs, "nodeSize") <- 10

# Alternative syntax using `$` accessor
gs_vertex_attr(gs)$nodeSize <- 10

# Access a specific edge attribute

plotGraphSpace is a wrapper function to create dedicated ggplot graphics for igraph- and GraphSpace-class objects.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'GraphSpace'
plotGraphSpace(
  gs,
  theme = c("th0", "th1", "th2", "th3"),

  mark.size = deprecated(),
  mark.color = deprecated()

Arguments

gs

Either an igraph or GraphSpace class object. If gs is an igraph, then it must include x, y, and name vertex attributes (see GraphSpace).

theme

ylab

The title for the 'y' axis of a 2D-image space.

font.size

A single numeric value passed to ggplot themes.

bg.color

A single color for background.

add.labels

A logical value indicating whether to plot vertex labels.

node.labels

A vector of vertex names to be highlighted in the graph space. This argument overrides 'add.labels'.

label.size

A size argument passed to geom_text.

label.color

A color passed to geom_text.

add.image

A logical value indicating whether to add a background image, when one is available (see GraphSpace).

marks

Deprecated from RGraphSpace 1.0.9; use 'node.labels' instead.

mark.size

Deprecated from RGraphSpace 1.0.9; use 'label.size' instead.

mark.color

Deprecated from RGraphSpace 1.0.9; use 'label.color' instead.

...

Additional arguments passed to the plotGraphSpace function.

mar
