layout_tbl_graph_centrality function

Place nodes in circles according to centrality measure

This layout places nodes in circles with the radii relative to a given centrality measure. Under the hood it use stress majorisation to place nodes optimally given the radius constraint.

layout_tbl_graph_centrality(
  graph,
  centrality,
  scale = TRUE,
  niter = 500,
  tolerance = 1e-04,
  tseq = seq(0, 1, 0.2),
  group = NULL,
  shrink = 10,
  circular = FALSE
)

Arguments

• graph: A tbl_graph object
• centrality: An expression evaluating to a centrality measure for the nodes. See the different centrality_*() algorithms in tidygraph for a selection.
• scale: Should the centrality measure be scaled between 0 and 100
• niter: number of iterations during stress optimization
• tolerance: stopping criterion for stress optimization
• tseq: Transitioning steps
• group: An expression evaluating to a grouping of the nodes. If given the layout will keep grouped nodes within an angle range of the origin
• shrink: shrink the reserved angle range for a group to increase the gaps between groups
• circular: ignored

Returns

A data.frame with the columns x, y, circular, centrality as well as any information stored as node variables in the tbl_graph object.
