Thanks for the suggestion, @aterhorst -- I am familiar with NetworkX but was not familiar with the examples you link to.
You can already implement the trick used in the example by having two edges on top of one another (that trick is easier to implement with ggnetwork
. However, the problem would remain that the stubs would be of different length depending on node size.
Unless I find a way to measure actual instead of relative node size, I am stuck, for now, with the current behaviour of ggnet
. It's on my top-3 list of improvements.
Thanks. What they do is measure stub length as proportion of edge length e.g. 1:10. So longer edges have longer stubs. I think it is conditioned on node size as well.

I haven't looked into grid
long enough to find out how big the points are in the corresponding geom—but I know it's pretty complex to sort out… which is why this improvement is not yet there.
I'm going to ask @hadley in case there is a simple answer:
Dear Hadley, if I draw a geom_segment
that ends at (xend, yend) and there is another geom_point
drawn there at a given size, is there an easy way to stop drawing the segment just before it intersects with the point?
Not that I know of
Hi. The arrow gap workaround is not working for me. I have different node sizes so a standard arrow gap is not helpful.
I was wondering if ggnet could not implement something similar to what is used in NetworkX? This is a python package for network analysis. Essentially this uses a line stub instead of an arrow. The aesthetics can be made to look nice like the examples in http://cxhernandez.com/tutorials/networks/2015/03/29/shortest-path.html
