This package allows to pass network objects to
ggplot2
and provides geometries to plot their
elements.
You can install the released version of ggnetwork
from
CRAN with:
install.packages("ggnetwork")
And the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("briatte/ggnetwork")
The ggnetwork
package depends on R 3.5+ and on ggplot2
version
2.0.0+.
The package vignette contains detailed
examples of how to use its
fortify
method and each of its geometries.
For further examples that use ggnetwork
with other packages to produce
animated graphs, see James Curley’s slides on “Interactive and Dynamic
Network Visualization in
R” (2016). For even more
options, see Katherine Ognyanova’s tutorial “Network visualization with
R (2019), and David Schoch’s
guide “Network Visualizations in R using ggraph
and
graphlayouts
” (2019).
If you encounter a clear bug, please file a minimal reproducible example on GitHub.
For questions and other discussion, please contact the package maintainer.
You can get a citation for the package from R:

The ggnetwork
package was written within a larger development effort
around network visualization with ggplot2
, on which you can read the
following article:
Sam Tyner, François Briatte and Heike Hofmann, “Network Visualization with
ggplot2
,” The R Journal 9(1): 27–59, 2017.
The article also covers the related packages
geomnet
and
ggnet
. It does not cover the more
recent ggraph
,
graphlayouts
and
tidygraph
, although you
should turn to those if you need a highly extensive way to build and
plot ‘tidy’ networks with ggplot2
.

@heike and

issue of having arrows on directed edges, while
@sumtxt inspired this package as well as
its predecessor, the ggnet
package, which also benefitted from
discussions with @pedroj and Bertrand
Sudre.
