RGraphSpace: A Lightweight Interface Between 'igraph' and 'ggplot2' Graphics

Description

An interface to integrate 'igraph' and 'ggplot2' graphics within a normalized coordinate system. 'RGraphSpace' extends 'ggplot2' with graph-aware geometries optimized for large networks. The 'GraphSpace' class integrates directly with 'ggplot2' through specialized 'geoms' and lazy resolution of node attributes, supporting customization of aesthetics and visual styles. These 'geoms' use a dual-anchor normalization approach to align layers, particularly useful for analyses in which network elements must be spatially aligned with reference maps and images.
