plotOCGraph {linkcomm}

Plot a Graph Layout of OCG Communities

Description

This function is called by plot.OCG to plot a graph layout of the OCG communities.

Usage

plotOCGraph(x, clusterids = 1:x$numbers[3], nodes = NULL, pie.local = TRUE, 
        incident = TRUE, layout = layout.fruchterman.reingold, 
        vertex.radius = 0.03, scale.vertices = 0.05, edge.color = "grey",
        vertex.label.color = "black", vertex.label.cex = 0.8,
        pal = brewer.pal(7,"Set2"), shownodesin = 0, vlabel = TRUE, 
        random = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

An object of class OCG.

clusterids

An integer vector of community IDs. Defaults to all communities.

nodes

A character vector naming the nodes to be plotted. If NULL, then community IDs are used instead. Defaults to NULL.

pie.local

Logical, whether to include pie segments for just the communities to which the chosen nodes belong, or for all communities. In the latter case, communities that are not present among the chosen nodes will appear as empty segments in the node pies. Defaults to TRUE.

incident

Logical, whether to include just the communities of the named node(s), or the community membership of all nodes that interact with the named node(s). Defaults to TRUE.

layout

A character string or function identifying the layout algorithm to be used for positioning nodes in the graph. Defaults to layout.fruchterman.reingold. See details for alternative layouts.

vertex.radius

A real number specifying the vertex radius. Defaults to 0.03.

scale.vertices

A real number specifying the fraction of increase in vertex radius for each community membership. If NULL then all vertices are the same size. Defaults to 0.05.

edge.color

A character string specifying the colour of edges. Defaults to "grey".

vertex.label.color

A character string specifying the color of node labels. Defaults to "black".

vertex.label.cex

A numerical value specifying the size of the node labels. Defaults to 0.8.

pal

A character vector describing a colour palette to be used for colouring the link communities in the graph. Defaults to brewer.pal(7, "Set2").

shownodesin

An integer value specifying the number of communities a node must belong to before it will be displayed. If 0 then all nodes are displayed. Defaults to 0.

vlabel

Logical, whether node labels are to be added. Defaults to TRUE.

random

Logical, whether to randomise the link colours. Defaults to TRUE.

...

Additional arguments to be passed to plot.

Details

Here we describe the parameters for plotting OCG community graphs using:
plot(x, type = "graph", layout = layout)

Various graph layouts are available:

1. layout.random

2. layout.circle

3. layout.sphere

4. layout.fruchterman.reingold

5. layout.kamada.kawai

6. layout.spring

7. layout.reingold.tilford

8. layout.fruchterman.reingold.grid

9. layout.lgl

10. layout.graphopt

11. layout.mds

12. layout.svd

13. layout.norm

All of these are described in more detail in the igraph package.

Value

A graph plot.
