In geomnet: Network Visualization in the 'ggplot2' Framework

Description

A list of two datasets, vertices and edges, containing data on characters and their co-appearance in chapters in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. The variables are as follows:

Usage

lesmis

Format

A list of two data frames:

• the edges data set consists of three variables of length 254:

  • from: Character 1

  • to: Character 2

  • degree: number of times they appear together in a chapter of Les Miserables

• the vertices data set consists of two variables with information on 77 characters:

  • id: Character ID number

  • label: Character name

Examples

# prep the data
lesmisnet <- merge(lesmis$edges, lesmis$vertices, by.x = "from",
                   by.y = "label", all = TRUE)
lesmisnet$degree[is.na(lesmisnet$degree)] <- 0

# create plot
library(geomnet)
library(dplyr)

ggplot(data = lesmisnet, aes(from_id = from, to_id = to,
                             linewidth = degree / 5 + 0.1 )) +
  geom_net(aes(size = degree, alpha = degree),
           colour = "grey30", ecolour = "grey60",
           layout.alg = "fruchtermanreingold", labelon = TRUE, vjust = -0.75) +
  scale_alpha(range = c(0.3, 1)) +
  theme_net()
