  • In previous posts and threads I’ve alluded to the potential utility of visualizing the relationships between parsed functions/packages and files as a network plot.

    It can be helpful to review the relationship between your #rstats code files by looking at a network graph of them by packages loaded.

    I added the function network_plot() to funspotr. In this post I’ll simply output the network plots of the parsed-out packages from the code collections discussed in the prior two posts:

    library(dplyr)
library(funspotr)

    Interactive network plots

    The network plots show files as squares and packages as circles, edges represent cases where a package is used in a given file1.

  # not including base R or any custom functions or packages I don't have installed
  filter(!is.na(pkgs), !(pkgs %in% c("base", "(unknown)"))) %>% 
  network_plot(to = pkgs)
