Look into sigmaNet for VisualizeText

[fmerhout]

The author of the udpipe R package referenced this package for network visualizations: https://github.com/iankloo/sigmaNet

It claims to be suited to quickly render large networks as well as provide interactive features, so might be interesting to look into.

Does the sigmaNet package work with network generated from VisTextNet or CreatTextNet? I am currently using textnets for my research but have a difficult time to improve the visualization effects of the network created by VisTextNet..

Hi Jovian- unfortunately we do not yet support this, but you could probably fairly easily tweak the VisTextNet function to do this by hand.

I see. Thanks for the reply!

Hi Jovian, just chiming in here quickly. From my read of the vignette, sigmaNet simply requires an igraph object as input. CreateTextnet returns an igraph object, so you should be able to pass the output of CreateTextnet directly to sigmaNet and then adjust the visualization as you are used to.

@fmerhout we should really try to implement this sometime soon! Good idea.
