DrL is a force-directed graph layout toolbox focused on real-world large-scale graphs, developed by Shawn Martin and colleagues at Sandia National Laboratories.
layout_with_drl(graph, use.seed = FALSE, seed = matrix(runif(vcount(graph) * 2), ncol = 2), options = drl_defaults$default, weights = E(graph)$weight, fixed = NULL, dim = 2) with_drl(...)
graph |
The input graph, in can be directed or undirected. |
use.seed |
Logical scalar, whether to use the coordinates given in the
|
seed |
A matrix with two columns, the starting coordinates for the
vertices is |
options |
Options for the layout generator, a named list. See details below. |
weights |
Optional edge weights. Supply |
fixed |
Logical vector, it can be used to fix some vertices. All
vertices for which it is |
dim |
Either ‘2’ or ‘3’, it specifies whether we want a two dimensional or a three dimensional layout. Note that because of the nature of the DrL algorithm, the three dimensional layout takes significantly longer to compute. |

This function implements the force-directed DrL layout generator.
The generator has the following parameters:
Edge cutting is done in the late stages of the algorithm in order to achieve less dense layouts. Edges are cut if there is a lot of stress on them (a large value in the objective function sum). The edge cutting parameter is a value between 0 and 1 with 0 representing no edge cutting and 1 representing maximal edge cutting.
