Additional arguments (not used, for S3 consistency).

Value

A ggplot object.

Details

Nodes are positioned according to their trophic level:

  • The y-axis represents trophic levels

  • Nodes of the same level are placed on the same horizontal line

  • The x-axis positions are assigned sequentially (0, 1, 2, ...)

Directed links are drawn from lower to higher trophic levels using arrows.

Examples

net <- trophic() |>
  add_link("a", "b") |>
  add_link("b", "c")
