visNetwork: Network visualization

In visNetwork: Network Visualization using 'vis.js' Library

Network visualization

Description

Network visualization using vis.js library. For full documentation, have a look at visDocumentation.

Usage

visNetwork(
  nodes = NULL,
  edges = NULL,
  dot = NULL,
  gephi = NULL,
  width = NULL,
  height = NULL,
  main = NULL,
  submain = NULL,
  footer = NULL,
  background = "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)",
  ...
)

Arguments

nodes	: data.frame or a list with nodes informations. Needed at least column "id". See visNodes "id" : id of the node, needed in edges information "label" : label of the node "group" : group of the node. Groups can be configure with visGroups "value" : size of the node "title" : tooltip of the node ...
edges	: data.frame or a list with edges informations. Needed at least columns "from" and "to". See visEdges "from" : node id of begin of the edge "to" : node id of end of the edge "label" : label of the edge "value" : size of the node "title" : tooltip of the node ...
dot	: Character DOT language.
gephi	: Json export gephi path file.
width	: Width (optional, defaults to automatic sizing)
height	: Height (optional, defaults to automatic sizing)
main	: For add a title. Character or a named list. "text" : Character. Title. "style" : Optional. Character. HTML style of title. Default to 'font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-weight:bold;font-size:20px;text-align:center;'.
submain	: For add a subtitle. Character or a named list. "text" : Character. Subtitle. "style" : Optional. Character. HTML style of submain. Default to 'font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:12px;text-align:center;'.
footer	: For add a footer. Character or a named list. "text" : Character. footer. "style" : Optional. Character. HTML style of footer. Default to 'font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:12px;text-align:center;'.
background	: Background color. Default to 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)' (transparent). Can be a valid color name ("red"), a HEX value ("#ff0000") or rgb/rgba ("rgb(255,0,0)")
...	: Don't use.
