Plot method for sfnetwork objects #17

Closed loreabad6 closed 4 years ago

loreabad6 commented 4 years ago

Currently a plot method for an object of class sfnetworks does not exists, and hence it defaults to the plot method of a igraph object.

Suggestion: create a plot method that shows edges and nodes at once, on base R. To handle geometry, explore options of plotting GEOMETRY COLLECTIONS. Consider the case where edges are not sf lines, how to handle that? Should they be converted to an sf object just for plotting?

A simple plot method would be useful to have a quick overview of how the network looks like. However, for any advanced plotting, the user can export edges and nodes as sf objects and use their preferred plotting package and settings. Or in another case, plotting methods specific for network analysis with igraph or tidygraph for example. This should be emphasized on the description of the plot method.

Simple plot method that shows the geometry of nodes and edges in one plot is implemented
