colorize_node_attrs: Apply colors based on node attribute values

In DiagrammeR: Graph/Network Visualization

Apply colors based on node attribute values

Description

Within a graph's internal node data frame (ndf), use a categorical node attribute to generate a new node attribute with color values.

Usage

colorize_node_attrs(
  graph,
  node_attr_from,
  node_attr_to,
  cut_points = NULL,
  palette = "Spectral",
  alpha = NULL,
  reverse_palette = FALSE,
  default_color = "#D9D9D9"
)

Arguments

graph	A graph object of class dgr_graph.
node_attr_from	The name of the node attribute column from which color values will be based.
node_attr_to	The name of the new node attribute to which the color values will be applied.
cut_points	An optional vector of numerical breaks for bucketizing continuous numerical values available in a edge attribute column.
palette	Can either be: (1) a palette name from the RColorBrewer package (e.g., Greens, OrRd, RdYlGn), (2) viridis, which indicates use of the viridis color scale from the package of the same name, or (3) a vector of hexadecimal color names.
alpha	An optional alpha transparency value to apply to the generated colors. Should be in the range of 0 (completely transparent) to 100 (completely opaque).
reverse_palette	An option to reverse the order of colors in the chosen palette. The default is FALSE.
default_color	A hexadecimal color value to use for instances when the values do not fall into the bucket ranges specified in the cut_points vector.

Value

A graph object of class dgr_graph.

Examples

# Create a graph with 8
# nodes and 7 edges
graph <-
  create_graph() %>%
  add_path(n = 8) %>%
  set_node_attrs(
    node_attr = weight,
    values = c(
      8.2, 3.7, 6.3, 9.2,
      1.6, 2.5, 7.2, 5.4))

# Find group membership values for all nodes
# in the graph through the Walktrap community
# finding algorithm and join those group values
# to the graph's internal node data frame (ndf)
# with the `join_node_attrs()` function
graph <-
  graph %>%
  join_node_attrs(
    df = get_cmty_walktrap(.))

# Inspect the number of distinct communities
graph %>%
  get_node_attrs(
    node_attr = walktrap_group) %>%
  unique() %>%
  sort()

# Visually distinguish the nodes in the different
# communities by applying colors using the
# `colorize_node_attrs()` function; specifically,
# set different `fillcolor` values with an alpha
# value of 90 and apply opaque colors to the node
# border (with the `color` node attribute)
graph <-
  graph %>%
  colorize_node_attrs(
    node_attr_from = walktrap_group,
    node_attr_to = fillcolor,
    palette = "Greens",
    alpha = 90) %>%
  colorize_node_attrs(
    node_attr_from = walktrap_group,
    node_attr_to = color,
    palette = "viridis",
    alpha = 80)

# Show the graph's internal node data frame
graph %>% get_node_df()

# Create a graph with 8 nodes and 7 edges
graph <-
  create_graph() %>%
  add_path(n = 8) %>%
  set_node_attrs(
    node_attr = weight,
    values = c(
      8.2, 3.7, 6.3, 9.2,
      1.6, 2.5, 7.2, 5.4))

# We can bucketize values in `weight` using
# `cut_points` and assign colors to each of the
# bucketed ranges (for values not part of any
# bucket, a gray color is assigned by default)
graph <-
  graph %>%
  colorize_node_attrs(
    node_attr_from = weight,
    node_attr_to = fillcolor,
    cut_points = c(1, 3, 5, 7, 9))

# Now there will be a `fillcolor` node attribute
# with distinct colors (the `#D9D9D9` color is
# the default `gray85` color)
graph %>% get_node_df()
