\name{layout_tbl_graph_backbone}
\alias{layout_tbl_graph_backbone}
\title{Place node to emphasize group structure}
\usage{
layout_tbl_graph_backbone(graph, keep = 0.2, circular = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{graph}{A tbl_graph object}
\item{keep}{The fraction of edges to use for creating the backbone}
\item{circular}{ignored}
}
\value{
A data.frame with the columns \code{x}, \code{y}, \code{circular} as
well as any information stored as node variables in the tbl_graph object.
Further an edge attribute called \code{backbone} is added giving whether the edge
was selected as backbone.
}
\description{
This layout is optimised for drawing small-world types of graphs often found
in social networks, where distinct groups are still highly connected to the
remaining graph. Typical layouts struggle with this as they attempt to
minimise the edge length of all edges equally. The backbone layout is based
on weighing edges based on how well they hold together communities. The end
result is that communities tend to stick together despite high
interconnectivity.
