Dear Sam, @smorabit It's great that you developed this useful tool! It works well with my data although I am wondering whether I can plot customized figures without using default commands like HubGeneNetworkPlot and ModuleUMAPPlot or updated commands with more parameters to adjust. In my case, I am interested in 1) a specific module and 2) several genes (some of them are not hub genes) in this module. I want to plot this module and highlight some of the genes. Any suggestion? Or maybe I can extract the information from the network and plot using other softwares?

Best regards Song

Like Figure 5C in the manuscript which looks really good (their color combination seems a bit different with the default one).

Hi Song,

Glad that you are finding hdWGCNA useful in your work! You can definitely use other plottihng packages for customized plots. There can be a lot of problems when trying to plot networks, like showing too many edges or nodes can make the plot too busy to be easily interpretable. I would recommend trying out igraph or ggraph for plotting within R.
