compute_adaptive_esize: Compute Adaptive Base Edge Size

In cograph: Analysis and Visualization of Complex Networks

Compute Adaptive Base Edge Size

Description

Calculates the maximum edge width that decreases with more nodes. Inspired by qgraph but scaled for line widths (not pixels).

Usage

compute_adaptive_esize(n_nodes, directed = FALSE)

Arguments

n_nodes	Number of nodes in the network.
directed	Whether the network is directed (directed networks use thinner edges).

Details

The formula produces reasonable line widths:

• 3 nodes: ~5

• 10 nodes: ~4.5

• 50 nodes: ~3

• 100 nodes: ~2

• 200 nodes: ~1.2

For directed networks, the size is reduced by 30% (minimum 1).

Value

Numeric maximum edge width (suitable for lwd parameter).
