Better rendering of dependency plots ("$diagram()") #9

Closed richfitz closed 9 years ago

richfitz commented 9 years ago

The current code is just a stub, really and won't work for real networks. For example here is an issue from a nontrivial project (dfalster/tree-p -- currently private) tree-p

and here's another from richfitz/modeladequacy: model-adequacy

I think the idea is sound, but dealing with networks that are a reasonable size in a moderately automatic way is going to be hard! Especially as the target names for filenames can be quite long.

DiagrammeR looks promising, and generating a force directed d3 graph (suggested by Karl Broman) is another option that sidesteps layout.

Shift from igraph to DiagrammeR in cd6036572ab25f36b3a44a9260f5d657d03b84d9

Yeah, good call.
