sigmajs for R.
With the rise in popularity of networks, it is important for R users

sigmajs is a fully-fledged wrapper for the sigma.js JavaScript library.
The sigma.js JavaScript library is described as follows on its website:
Sigma is a JavaScript library dedicated to graph drawing. It makes easy to publish networks on Web pages, and allows developers to integrate network exploration in rich Web applications
