R Problem Overview

I have some data similar to the data.frame d as follows.

d <- structure(list(ID = c("KP1009", "GP3040", "KP1757", "GP2243", 
                           "KP682", "KP1789", "KP1933", "KP1662", "KP1718", "GP3339", "GP4007", 
                           "GP3398", "GP6720", "KP808", "KP1154", "KP748", "GP4263", "GP1132", 
                           "GP5881", "GP6291", "KP1004", "KP1998", "GP4123", "GP5930", "KP1070", 
                           "KP905", "KP579", "KP1100", "KP587", "GP913", "GP4864", "KP1513", 
                           "GP5979", "KP730", "KP1412", "KP615", "KP1315", "KP993", "GP1521", 
                           "KP1034", "KP651", "GP2876", "GP4715", "GP5056", "GP555", "GP408", 
                           "GP4217", "GP641"),
                    Type = c("B", "A", "B", "A", "B", "B", "B", 
                             "B", "B", "A", "A", "A", "A", "B", "B", "B", "A", "A", "A", "A",

                             "A", "A"),
                    Set = c(15L, 1L, 10L, 21L, 5L, 9L, 12L, 15L, 16L, 
                            19L, 22L, 3L, 12L, 22L, 15L, 25L, 10L, 25L, 12L, 3L, 10L, 8L, 
                            8L, 20L, 20L, 19L, 25L, 15L, 6L, 21L, 9L, 5L, 24L, 9L, 20L, 5L, 
                            2L, 2L, 11L, 9L, 16L, 10L, 21L, 4L, 1L, 8L, 5L, 11L), Loc = c(3L, 
                                                                                          2L, 3L, 1L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 
                                                                                          2L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 2L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 2L, 3L, 1L, 3L, 3L, 
                                                                                          1L, 3L, 2L, 3L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L)),
               .Names = c("ID", "Type", "Set", "Loc"), class = "data.frame",
               row.names = c(NA, -48L))

I want to explore the relationships between members of d$ID using a chord diagram similar to the one below.

enter image description here

It seesms there ar several options to do so in R. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14599150/chord-diagram-in-r).

In my data the relationships are according to d$Set (not directional) and the grouping is according to d$Loc. The following are my attempts to map theser relationships as a chord diagram.

Attempt 1: Using igraph

I have tried igraph as follows with node size according to degree.

# Get vertex relationships
sets <- unique(d$Set[duplicated(d$Set)])
rel <-  vector("list", length(sets))
for (i in 1:length(sets)) {
  rel[[i]] <- as.data.frame(t(combn(subset(d, d$Set ==sets[i])$ID, 2)))
}
library(data.table)
rel <- rbindlist(rel)

# Get the graph
g <- graph.data.frame(rel, directed=F, vertices=d)
clr <- as.factor(V(g)$Loc)
levels(clr) <- c("salmon", "wheat", "lightskyblue")
V(g)$color <- as.character(clr)

# Plot
plot(g, layout = layout.circle, vertex.size=degree(g)*5, vertex.label=NA)

enter image description here

How to modify the plot to look like the first figure? It seems that there are no options to modify igraph layout.circle.

Attempt 2: Using Circlize

It seems smoother bezier curves and grouping are possible in the R package circlize. But here I am not able to group the nodes as well as adjust their size according to degree as they are plotted as sectors.

par(mar = c(1, 1, 1, 1), lwd = 0.1, cex = 0.7)
circos.initialize(factors = as.factor(d$ID), xlim = c(0, 10))
circos.trackPlotRegion(factors = as.factor(d$ID), ylim = c(0, 0.5), bg.col = V(g)$color,
                       bg.border = NA, track.height = 0.05)
for(i in 1:nrow(rel)) {
  circos.link(rel[i,1], 0, rel[i,2],0, h = 0.4)
  
}

enter image description here

Here however there are no options to modify the nodes. In fact they can be only plotted as sectors? In this case is there any way to modify the sectors into circular nodes of size according to the degree?

Attempt 3: Using edgebundleR(https://github.com/garthtarr/edgebundleR)

require(edgebundleR)
edgebundle(g,tension = 0.1,cutoff = 0.5, fontsize = 18,padding=40)

enter image description here It seems here there are limited options to modify the aesthetics.

I made a bunch of changes to edgebundleR. These are now in the main repo. The following code should get you close to the desired result. live example

Solution 2 - R

I hate to add another answer for a different problem, but I don't know of any way to handle the additional question posed in the comment. The comment asked how might we color the edges. Generally, the response would be easy, but in this case, the answer requires a rewrite of much of the code in edgebundleR or requires a hack. I'll go with the hack below.

library(edgebundleR)
library(igraph)
library(data.table)

d <- structure(list(ID = c("KP1009", "GP3040", "KP1757", "GP2243",

                           "GP3398", "GP6720", "KP808", "KP1154", "KP748", "GP4263", "GP1132", 
                           "GP5881", "GP6291", "KP1004", "KP1998", "GP4123", "GP5930", "KP1070",
