Hierarchical Edge Bundles in R

------------------------------

[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/AEBilgrau/HierarchicalEdgeBundles.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/AEBilgrau/HierarchicalEdgeBundles)

This packages implements the excellent network visualization method by hierarchical edge bundling (Holten, 2006) in the statistical software R (R Core Team, 2014).

Hierarchical edge bundling is a graph and network visualization method in which edges are guided (or, bundled) along a dendrogram with a user-specified strength.

## Installation

To install the latest version of **HierarchicalEdgeBundles** directly from the master branch at GitHub, run 

```R

#install.packages("devtools")  # Uncomment if devtools is not installed

devtools::install_github("AEBilgrau/HierarchicalEdgeBundles")

```

The package is still under development and may be considered unstable. Be sure that you have the [package development prerequisites](http://www.rstudio.com/ide/docs/packages/prerequisites) if you wish to install the package from the source.

## Usage

The following example should run without problems.

```R

set.seed(1)

library("HierarchicalEdgeBundles")

library("igraph")

library("ape")

# Create a graph and a tree

graph <- watts.strogatz.game(1, size = 9, nei = 2, p = 0.5)

V(graph)$name <- paste("Node", 1:9)

adj.mat <- get.adjacency(graph)

phylo <- as.phylo(hclust(as.dist(1-adj.mat)))

# Plot

plotHEB(graph, phylo, beta = 0.9, type = "fan")

```
