Interface to 'Sigma.js' Graph Visualization Library.
sigmajs
sigmajs for R.
With the rise in popularity of networks, it is important for R users to have access to a package that allows visualising the aforementioned networks in a highly configurable, interactive and dynamic manner. sigmajs is a fully-fledged wrapper for the sigma.js JavaScript library.
The sigma.js JavaScript library is described as follows on its website:
Sigma is a JavaScript library dedicated to graph drawing. It makes easy to publish networks on Web pages, and allows developers to integrate network exploration in rich Web applications

Examples
Most functions have corresponding demo(), see documentation and shiny demo.
library(sigmajs)
# generate data
nodes <- sg_make_nodes()
edges <- sg_make_edges(nodes)
# visualise

sg_nodes(nodes, id, label, size, color) %>%
sg_edges(edges, id, source, target)
# from igraph

layout <- igraph::layout_with_fr(lesmis_igraph)
sigmajs() %>%
sg_from_igraph(lesmis_igraph, layout)
# from GEXF
