Backbone layout
The backbone layout uses edge embeddedness to help uncover and emphasize potential group structures.schochastics.github.io · read 11 Oct 2026
Centrality layout
The centrality layout places the node with the highest centrality at the center, with more peripheral nodes farther out.schochastics.github.io · read 11 Oct 2026
Data sources
igraph networks; ggraph; igraphdata; networkdataschochastics.github.io · read 23 Sep 2026
Dynamic networks
The dynamic layout visualizes longitudinal network snapshots by anchoring nodes to a reference layout and moving them slightly as edges change.schochastics.github.io · read 11 Oct 2026
Focus layout
The focus layout places nodes with the same distance from a focal node on the same circle.schochastics.github.io · read 11 Oct 2026
Installation
The package can be installed from CRAN with install.packages("graphlayouts") or from GitHub with remotes::install_github("schochastics/graphlayouts").schochastics.github.io · read 11 Oct 2026
Integrations
The site demonstrates graphlayouts with ggraph and igraph, and also uses patchwork in examples.schochastics.github.io · read 11 Oct 2026
Large networks
The site describes two algorithms for large networks, with pivot MDS using a small number of pivot nodes and sparse stress trading runtime for layout quality.schochastics.github.io · read 11 Oct 2026
Layout algorithms
The package includes stress majorization, backbone, flexible radial, sparse stress, pivot MDS, dynamic, spectral, multilevel, and UMAP based layouts.schochastics.github.io · read 11 Oct 2026
License
The CRAN package listing identifies the license as MIT plus a license file.stat.ethz.ch · read 11 Oct 2026
Limits
