R Documentation

Interactive network.

Description

network_rd3 produces a network_rd3 object ready for its representation as an interactive network in a web browser. Its input has to be two data.frames: one of attributes of events or nodes, and the other of attributes of the edges or links.

Usage

network_rd3(nodes = NULL, links = NULL, tree = NULL,
        community = NULL, layout = NULL,
        name = NULL, label = NULL, group = NULL, groupText = FALSE,
        labelSize = NULL, size = NULL, color = NULL, shape = NULL,
        border = NULL, legend = NULL, sort = NULL, decreasing = FALSE,
        ntext = NULL, info = NULL, image = NULL, imageNames = NULL,
        nodeBipolar = FALSE, nodeFilter = NULL, degreeFilter = NULL,
        source = NULL, target = NULL,
        lwidth = NULL, lweight = NULL, lcolor = NULL, ltext = NULL,
        intensity = NULL, linkBipolar = FALSE, linkFilter = NULL,
        repulsion = 25, distance = 10, zoom = 1,
        fixed = showCoordinates, limits = NULL,
        main = NULL, note = NULL, showCoordinates = FALSE, showArrows = FALSE,
        showLegend = TRUE, frequencies = FALSE, showAxes = FALSE,
        axesLabels = NULL, scenarios = NULL, help = NULL, helpOn = FALSE,
        mode = c("network","heatmap"), roundedItems = FALSE, controls = 1:4,
        cex = 1, background = NULL, defaultColor = "#1f77b4",
        language = c("en","es","ca"), dir = NULL)

Arguments

`nodes`	a data frame with at least one column of node names.
`links`	a data frame with at least two columns with source and target node names.
`tree`	a data frame with two columns: source and target, describing relationships between nodes. It indicates a hierarchy between nodes which can be dynamically explored.
`name`	name of the column with names in the nodes data frame.
`source`	name of the column with source names in the links data frame.
`target`	name of the column with target names in the links data frame.
`label`	name of the column with labels in the nodes data frame.
`group`	name of the column with groups in the nodes data frame.
`groupText`	show names of the groups.
`community`	algorithm to make communities: edge_betweenness("ed"), fast_greedy("fa"), label_prop("la"), leiden_eigen("le"), louvain("lo"), optimal("op"), spinglass("sp"), walktrap("wa")
`labelSize`	name of the column with label size in the nodes data frame.
`size`	name of the column with size in the nodes data frame.
`color`	name of the column with color variable in the nodes data frame.
`shape`	name of the column with shape variable in the nodes data frame.
`legend`	name of the column with the variable to represent as a legend in the nodes data frame.
`ntext`	name of the column with html text in the nodes data frame.
`info`	name of the column with information to display in a panel in the nodes data frame.
`border`	name of the column with border width in the nodes data frame.
`sort`	name of the column with node order in the nodes data frame (only for heatmap).
`decreasing`	decreasing or increasing sort of the nodes (only for heatmap).
`intensity`	name of the column with intensity variable in the links data frame (only for heatmap).
`lwidth`	name of the column with width variable in the links data frame.
`lweight`	name of the column with weight variable in the links data frame.
`lcolor`	name of the column with color variable in the links data frame.
`ltext`	name of the column with labels in the links data frame.
`nodeFilter`	a character string with a condition for filtering nodes.
`linkFilter`	a character string with a condition for filtering links.
`degreeFilter`	numeric vector to filter the resulting network by degree. Input can be a number which specifies the minimum degree or two numbers which specify the lower and upper limits of the filter.
`nodeBipolar`	a logical value that polarizes negative and positive node values in the graphical representation. Indicates whether the color key should be made symmetric about 0.
`linkBipolar`	a logical value that polarizes negative and positive link values in the graphical representation. Indicates whether the color key should be made symmetric about 0.
`defaultColor`	a character vector giving a valid html color for node representation.
`repulsion`	a percentage for repulsion between nodes.
`distance`	a percentage for distance of links.
`zoom`	a number between 0.1 and 10 to start displaying zoom.
`fixed`	prevent nodes from being dragged.
`scenarios`	a note showing number of scenarios.
`main`	upper title of the graph.
`note`	lower title of the graph.
`frequencies`	a logical value true if barplots representing node attributes frequencies will be added to the final graph.
`help`	help text of the graph.
`helpOn`	Should the help be shown at the beginning?
`background`	background color or image path of the graph.
`layout`	a matrix with two columns with x/y coordinates or an algorithm to calculate the static layout of the network: davidson.harel drl("da"), circle("ci"), Force-Atlas-2("fo"), fruchterman.reingold("fr"), gem("ge"), grid("gr"), kamada.kawai("ka"), lgl("lg"), mds("md"), random("ra"), reingold.tilford("re"), star("sta"), sugiyama("sug")
`limits`	vector indicating the layout limits, must be a numeric vector of length 4 on this order: x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max.
`cex`	number indicating the amount by which plotting text should be scaled relative to the default.
`roundedItems`	Display images with rounded borders.
`controls`	a numeric vector indicating which controls will be shown. 1 = sidebar, 2 = selection buttons, 3 = export buttons, 4 = nodes table, 5 = links table. NULL hide all controls, negative values deny each control and 0 deny all.
`mode`	a character vector indicating the graph mode allowed: network, heatmap or both (both by default).
`showCoordinates`	a logical value true if the coordinates are to be shown in tables and axes. Default = FALSE.
`showArrows`	a logical value true if the directional arrows are to be shown. Default = FALSE.
`showLegend`	a logical value true if the legend is to be shown.
`showAxes`	a logical value true if the axes are to be shown.
`axesLabels`	a character vector giving the axes names.
`language`	a character string indicating the language of the graph (en=english (default); es=spanish; ca=catalan).
`image`	name of the column with the path to node image files in the nodes data frame.
`imageNames`	name of the column with names for image files in the nodes data frame which will be shown in the legend.
`dir`	a "character" string representing the directory where the resulting web files will be saved.

Value

This function returns a network_rd3 object. If the 'dir' attribute is specified, the function creates a folder in the computer with an HTML document named index.html which contains the produced graph. This file can be directly opened with your browser and sent to a web server to work properly.

Note

nodes and links arguments can be substituted by a network_rd3 object to add or change options to it.
