Title: Network Visualization in Ggplot2: Geom_Net
Author(s): Samantha Tyner* and Heike Hofmann
Companies: Iowa State University and Iowa State University
Keywords: ggplot2 ; networks ; visualization
Abstract:

There are many implementations of static network visualization in R, but none are equipped with the flexibility and functionality of ggplot2. geom_net was created to fill this gap. Using two data frames to describe node and edge information, geom_net makes use the underlying structure of ggplot2 to visualize networks. This makes it possible to easily facet networks according to covariates or change aesthetics such as shape, size, or color according to additional edge or node information. We will give a brief overview of the implementation and present examples.
