RGraphSpace: A Lightweight Interface Between 'igraph' and 'ggplot2' Graphics

An interface to integrate 'igraph' and 'ggplot2' graphics within a normalized coordinate system. 'RGraphSpace' implements geometric objects based on 'ggplot2' prototypes, optimized for the representation of large networks. The package provides three specialized 'geoms' to translate graph data into geometric layers, supporting customization of aesthetics and visual styles. These 'geoms' use a dual-anchor normalization approach to align layers, required for analyses where network elements must be referenced to a spatial map. 'RGraphSpace' aims to facilitate side-by-side visualization of multiple graphs spatially aligned with reference maps and images.
