question: having an absolute location custom layout.

[OmarAshkar]

Hello,

I am trying to have a specific absolute location layout. Is it possible?

For example I have this code that will create at tree with top-down

graph <- as_tbl_graph(
data.frame( from = c("1", "1", "1", "50", "5"),  
            to = c("200", "100", "50", "5", "2")) 
)
graph

layout <- create_layout(graph, layout = "tree" )
ggraph(graph, layout) + 
  geom_edge_bend() + 
  geom_node_point() + 
  geom_node_label(aes(label = as.data.frame(graph)$name))

What I am looking for is

1. right to left orientation instead of top-down.
2. All "to" nodes must be aligned on top of each other
3. As you noticed, the branching sometimes happens from the same node, so may be different edges can be specified like arc if this happened.

I really appreciate some guidance on this.

Thank you!

Not exactly sure what you are looking for, but you can specify a layout manually

x <- c(-3, -2, -1, -2, -2, 0)
y <- c(0, -1, -1, 0, 1, -1)
ggraph(graph, "manual", x = x,y = y) + 
  geom_edge_bend() + 
  geom_node_point() + 
  geom_node_label(aes(label = as.data.frame(graph)$name))
