Functions for Visualising Simple Graphs and Flow Diagrams in R

An R package for visualising simple graphs and networks based on transition matrices, with utilities for plotting flow diagrams, webs, and electrical networks. It provides support for the books 'A practical guide to ecological modelling' (2009) and 'Solving Differential Equations in R' (2012). The package includes demonstrations for flowchart, plotmat, and plotweb functions.

Use Cases

• Visualising ecological network flows based on transition matrices mentioned in the description
• Plotting flow diagrams for differential equation models referenced in the supporting books
• Creating visual representations of webs and electrical networks using the provided utilities

Strengths

• Provides direct support for two published academic books on ecological modelling and differential equations
• Includes multiple demonstration scripts (demo(flowchart), demo(plotmat), demo(plotweb)) for user guidance

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
