plot_egor function

Plotting egor objects

egor objects can be plotted as egographs or egograms. By default networks of the four first egos are plotted.

## S3 method for class 'egor'
plot(x, ...)

Arguments

• x: An egor object.
• ego_no: Ego row number.
• x_dim: Number of ego networks to plot horizontally.
• y_dim: Number of ego networks to plot vertically
• venn_var: Name (character) of alter column.
• pie_var: Name (character) of alter column.
• ascending_inwards: Logical determining the venn circle order. If TRUE (default) values ascend from the outside to the inside, if FALSE the reverse.
• vertex_size_var: Name (character) of alter column.
• vertex_color_var: Name (character) of alter column.
• vertex_color_palette: Name (character) of color palette, see details for available color palettes.
• vertex_color_legend_label: Character.
• vertex_label_var: Name (character) of alter column. Set this to NULL to suppress labels.
• edge_width_var: Name (character) of aatie column.
• edge_color_var: Name (character) of aatie column.
• edge_color_palette: Name (character) of color palette, see details for available color palettes.
• highlight_box_col_var: Name (character) of ego column.
• highlight_box_col_palette: Name (character) of color palette, see details for available color palettes.
• res_disp_vars: Name (character) of ego column.
• vertex_zoom: Numeric.
• edge_zoom: Numeric.
• font_size: Numeric.
• pie_colors: Character vector of colors to be used for coloring the subsections of the circle.
• venn_gradient_reverse: Logical, set to TRUE in order to have the color intensity of venns increase going from the inner circles to the outer circles.
• show_venn_labels: Logical.
• include_ego: Logical.
• ...: Additional arguments forwarded to plot.igraph.
• ego_alter_edge_width_var: Name (character) of alter column.
• ego_alter_edge_color_var: Name (character) of alter column.
• type: Character. Either "egograph" or "egogram".

Details

For type equals "egograph" ego networks are plotted with igraph's plotting engine. "egogram" uses a special layout that places the nodes on a map of (1) concentric circles with (2) subsections, that can be mapped to alter variables.

Available color palettes are:

• Heat Colors
• Yellow-Green
• Red-Yellow
• Blue-Red
• Black-White
• Greys
• Rainbow
• Topo Colors

Functions

• plot_egograms(): Plots an ego-socio-gram.
• plot_ego_graphs(): Plots an ego graph.

Examples

e <- make_egor(net.count = 5, max.alters = 12)
plot_egograms(x = e,
              ego_no = 2,
              venn_var = "sex",
              pie_var = "country",
              vertex_size_var = "age")
plot(e)
