Transposing the Layout in ggplot2: A Simple Solution to Graph Issues with igraph Packages
The issue here is that the ggraph function expects a graph object, but you’re providing an igraph layout object instead. To fix this, you need to transpose the layout using the layout_as_tree function from the igraph package. Here’s how you can do it: # desired transpose layout l_igraph <- ggraph::create_layout( g_tidy, layout = 'tree', root = igraph::get.vertex.attribute(g_tidy, "name") %>% stringr::str_detect(., "parent") %>% which(.) ) %>% .[, 2:1] ggraph::ggraph(graph = g_tidy, layout = l_igraph) + ggraph::geom_edge_link() + ggraph::geom_node_point() This will create a transposed version of the original top-down tree layout and then use that as the graph for the ggraph function.
