edgebundle
An R package implementing multiple edge bundling, flow map, and metro map layout algorithms for network visualization.
What is edgebundle?
edgebundle is an R package that implements several edge bundling, flow map, and metro map layout algorithms for network visualization. It helps reduce visual clutter in dense graphs by grouping edges into curved bundles, making complex network structures more readable. The package includes methods like force-directed bundling, stub bundling, hammer bundling, and specialized algorithms for flow and metro map layouts.
R developers and data scientists working with network data who need to create clearer visualizations of dense graphs, particularly in fields like transportation, migration, or infrastructure mapping.
It consolidates multiple academic edge bundling algorithms into a single, accessible R package, offering a practical toolkit for experimenting with different visualization techniques without needing to implement them from scratch.
