use `visNetwork` for publication-quality plots

[Aariq]

I saw your talk for EFI (great talk, btw) and you mentioned R not being great at plotting publication-quality diagrams. One possibility for an extension might be to use the visNetwork package which can create an interactive diagram where the user can drag nodes to move them around and then export the result as a static image.

Oh - yeah. The plotting method I whipped up is OK, and I like RGraphviz, but it has its limits. I wonder about ggraph sometimes.....
