plot_network_metrics_by_age R Documentation

Plot Bipartite Network Metrics by Age

Description

Creates a faceted line-and-point plot of bipartite community network metrics (e.g. connectance, nestedness, modularity) across time slices (ages). Each metric is shown in its own panel with a free y-axis scale.

Usage 

plot_network_metrics_by_age(
  data_network_metrics,
  title = NULL,
  subtitle = NULL
)

Arguments

data_network_metrics

A data frame or tibble with columns age (numeric), metric (character), and value (numeric). Typically the output of compute_network_metrics() aggregated across time slices and with the age column already parsed to numeric.

title

Optional character string for the plot title. Defaults to NULL (no title).

subtitle

Optional character string for the plot subtitle. Defaults to NULL (no subtitle).

Details

The x-axis is reversed so that older ages appear on the left. Each metric is shown in a separate facet panel with an independent y-axis scale (scales = “free_y”) because connectance, nestedness, and modularity occupy different numeric ranges. Each panel shows a coloured line with points.

Value

A ggplot object.
