In ndtv: Network Dynamic Temporal Visualizations

Network Dynamic Temporal Visualization (ndtv)

Description

Construct visualizations such as timelines and animated movies of networkDynamic objects to show changes in structure and attributes over time.

Details

For version and license information, run packageDescription('ndtv')

Uses network objects with dynamics encoded using networkDynamic.

Key features:

• Compute a dynamic layout using compute.animation.

• Render it as a movie using render.animation.

• Render animations to a web page using render.d3movie

• Plot multiple 'stills' of a movie with filmstrip

• Plot a timeline of edge and vertex activity with timeline

• Plot network geodesic proximities as a stream graph with proximity.timeline

The package includes several example datasets:

• msm.sim output of a stergm simulation of basic sex contact network model

• short.stergm.sim Very Very Basic stergm simulation output (25 time steps)

• stergm.sim.1 Very Very Basic stergm simulation output (100 time steps)

• toy_epi_sim Toy Epidemic Simulation Output from the EpiModel package
