using all the default aesthetic options

aesthetic |
Choose a pre-set for the network's look. Either |
Details
This function does not allow for any of the additional arguments that can be passed to FF.net.custom
.
Value
A network in the desired format
Loops and values
Loops will be allowed if at least one of the matrix's diagonal entries is not zero. The network will be valued if at least one entry of the matrix is neither zero nor one.
Instead, if aesthetic
is set to 'simple'
:
The width of the ties is
1
;The colour of the ties is
#b4b4b4
(Philippine Silver);The size of the nodes is
5
;The colour of the nodes is
#081677
(Gentian blue).
Otherwise, if aesthetic
is set to 'nice'
:
The width of the ties is
1
;The colour of the ties is a grey scale reflecting tie strength if the network is valued, otherwise it is
#b4b4b4
(Philippine Silver);The size of the nodes reflects their
capitalisation
if all firms have data on it and ranges between1
and5
, otherwise it is5
for all nodes;The colour of the nodes reflects their
sector
if all firms have data on it is taken from a built-in palette, otherwise it is#081677
