Overview

About

Maintained by Pawel GajerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Implements GRIP multiscale graph layout with a unified choice between hop-count and geometry-aware edge-length graph metrics in 2D and 3D. Provides layout scoring, candidate comparison, multiscale trace diagnostics, synthetic graph families, and advanced experimental geodesic-KK utilities for weighted-layout evaluation and polish. Based on Gajer and Kobourov (2002) doi:10.7155/jgaa.00052 and Gajer, Goodrich and Kobourov (2004) doi:10.1016/j.comgeo.2004.03.014.

Changes in 0.2.0

Removes the 40 long-form compatibility aliases deprecated in the 0.1 series. See help("grip-0.2-migration") for the complete replacement map.
Narrows the public graph-family API to primitive edge generators, configurable mask helpers, and complete graph bundles. Specialized edge-list builders, standalone surface embeddings, and parameter-coordinate builders remain available internally to those bundles.
Makes gmds.result() internal; public layout methods continue to return the common "grip_gmds_layout" result format.
Adds executable examples for every exported function and an API regression test that enforces this documentation contract.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("grip", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("pgajer/grip")

Development version from pgajer/grip. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-grip

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-grip

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-grip

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
