Description

Register a new layout algorithm that can be used for network visualization.

Usage

register_layout(name, layout_fn)

Arguments

name	Character. Name of the layout.
layout_fn	Function. A function that computes node positions. Should accept a CographNetwork object and return a matrix with x, y columns.

Examples

# Register a simple random layout under a new name. Registering an existing
# name (for example "random") would replace the built-in layout for the rest
# of the session, so pick a name of your own.

  n <- network$n_nodes
  cbind(x = stats::runif(n), y = stats::runif(n))
})
