#Custom arrow-drawing method for plot.network


#' Add Arrows or Segments to a Plot
#' 
#' \code{network.arrow} draws a segment or arrow between two pairs of points;
#' unlike \code{\link{arrows}} or \code{\link{segments}}, the new plot element
#' is drawn as a polygon.
#' 
#' \code{network.arrow} provides a useful extension of \code{\link{segments}}
#' and \code{\link{arrows}} when fine control is needed over the resulting
#' display.  (The results also look better.)  Note that edge curvature is
#' quadratic, with \code{curve} providing the maximum horizontal deviation of
#' the edge (left-handed).  Head/tail offsets are used to adjust the end/start
#' points of an edge, relative to the baseline coordinates; these are useful
#' for functions like \code{\link{plot.network}}, which need to draw edges
#' incident to vertices of varying radii.
#'

#Custom loop-drawing method for plot.network


#' Add Loops to a Plot
#'

#' device.  By default, loops are drawn so as to encompass a circular region of

#' and at maximum distance from \code{xctr,yctr}.  This is useful for functions
#' like \code{\link{plot.network}}, which need to draw loops incident to

#' labels will be drawn in the middle of the line segment, otherwise in the
#' first 3rd so that the labels for edges pointing in the opposite direction
#' will not overlap.
#' @param loops logical: if true, assuming the labels to be drawn belong to

#Generic plot.network method. 

#' Two-Dimensional Visualization for Network Objects
#' 
#' \code{plot.network} produces a simple two-dimensional plot of network
#' \code{x}, using optional attribute \code{attrname} to set edge values.  A
#' variety of options are available to control vertex placement, display
#' details, color, etc.
#' 
#' \code{plot.network} is the standard visualization tool for the
#' \code{network} class.  By means of clever selection of display parameters, a
#' fair amount of display flexibility can be obtained.  Vertex layout -- if not
#' specified directly using \code{coord} -- is determined via one of the
#' various available algorithms.  These should be specified via the \code{mode}
#' argument; see \code{\link{network.layout}} for a full list.  User-supplied
#' layout functions are also possible -- see the aforementioned man page for
#' details.
#' 
#' Note that where \code{is.hyper(x)==TRUE}, the network is converted to
#' bipartite adjacency form prior to computing coordinates.  If
#' \code{interactive==TRUE}, then the user may modify the initial network
#' layout by selecting an individual vertex and then clicking on the location
#' to which this vertex is to be moved; this process may be repeated until the
#' layout is satisfactory.
#' 
#' @rdname plot.network
#' @name plot.network.default
#'
#' @param x an object of class \code{network}.
#' @param attrname an optional edge attribute, to be used to set edge values.
#' @param label a vector of vertex labels, if desired; defaults to the vertex
#' labels returned by \code{\link{network.vertex.names}}. If \code{label} has
#' one element and it matches with a vertex attribute name, the value of the
#' attribute will be used. Note that labels may be set but hidden by the
#' \code{displaylabels} argument.
#' @param coord user-specified vertex coordinates, in an network.size(x)x2
#' matrix.  Where this is specified, it will override the \code{mode} setting.
#' @param jitter boolean; should the output be jittered?
#' @param thresh real number indicating the lower threshold for tie values.
#' Only ties of value >\code{thresh} are displayed.  By default,
#' \code{thresh}=0.
#' @param usearrows boolean; should arrows (rather than line segments) be used
#' to indicate edges?
#' @param mode the vertex placement algorithm; this must correspond to a
#' \code{\link{network.layout}} function.
#' @param displayisolates boolean; should isolates be displayed?
#' @param interactive boolean; should interactive adjustment of vertex
#' placement be attempted?
#' @param xlab x axis label.
#' @param ylab y axis label.
#' @param xlim the x limits (min, max) of the plot.
#' @param ylim the y limits of the plot.
#' @param pad amount to pad the plotting range; useful if labels are being
#' clipped.
#' @param label.pad amount to pad label boxes (if \code{boxed.labels==TRUE}),
#' in character size units.
#' @param displaylabels boolean; should vertex labels be displayed?
#' @param boxed.labels boolean; place vertex labels within boxes?
#' @param label.pos position at which labels should be placed, relative to
#' vertices.  \code{0} results in labels which are placed away from the center
#' of the plotting region; \code{1}, \code{2}, \code{3}, and \code{4} result in
#' labels being placed below, to the left of, above, and to the right of
#' vertices (respectively); and \code{label.pos>=5} results in labels which are
#' plotted with no offset (i.e., at the vertex positions).
#' @param label.bg background color for label boxes (if
#' \code{boxed.labels==TRUE}); may be a vector, if boxes are to be of different
#' colors.
#' @param vertex.sides number of polygon sides for vertices; may be given as a
#' vector or a vertex attribute name, if vertices are to be of different types.
#' As of v1.12, radius of polygons are scaled so that all shapes have equal
#' area
#' @param vertex.rot angle of rotation for vertices (in degrees); may be given
#' as a vector or a vertex attribute name, if vertices are to be rotated
#' differently.
#' @param vertex.lwd line width of vertex borders; may be given as a vector or
#' a vertex attribute name, if vertex borders are to have different line
#' widths.
#' @param arrowhead.cex expansion factor for edge arrowheads.
#' @param label.cex character expansion factor for label text.
#' @param loop.cex expansion factor for loops; may be given as a vector or a
#' vertex attribute name, if loops are to be of different sizes.
#' @param vertex.cex expansion factor for vertices; may be given as a vector or
#' a vertex attribute name, if vertices are to be of different sizes.
#' @param edge.col color for edges; may be given as a vector, adjacency matrix,
#' or edge attribute name, if edges are to be of different colors.
#' @param label.col color for vertex labels; may be given as a vector or a
#' vertex attribute name, if labels are to be of different colors.
#' @param vertex.col color for vertices; may be given as a vector or a vertex
#' attribute name, if vertices are to be of different colors.
#' @param label.border label border colors (if \code{boxed.labels==TRUE}); may
#' be given as a vector, if label boxes are to have different colors.
#' @param vertex.border border color for vertices; may be given as a vector or
#' a vertex attribute name, if vertex borders are to be of different colors.
#' @param edge.lty line type for edge borders; may be given as a vector,
#' adjacency matrix, or edge attribute name, if edge borders are to have
#' different line types.
#' @param label.lty line type for label boxes (if \code{boxed.labels==TRUE});
#' may be given as a vector, if label boxes are to have different line types.
#' @param vertex.lty line type for vertex borders; may be given as a vector or
#' a vertex attribute name, if vertex borders are to have different line types.
#' @param edge.lwd line width scale for edges; if set greater than 0, edge
#' widths are scaled by \code{edge.lwd*dat}.  May be given as a vector,
#' adjacency matrix, or edge attribute name, if edges are to have different
#' line widths.
#' @param edge.label if non-\code{NULL}, labels for edges will be drawn. May be
#' given as a vector, adjacency matrix, or edge attribute name, if edges are to
#' have different labels. A single value of \code{TRUE} will use edge ids as
#' labels. NOTE: currently doesn't work for curved edges.
#' @param edge.label.cex character expansion factor for edge label text; may be
#' given as a vector or a edge attribute name, if edge labels are to have
#' different sizes.
#' @param edge.label.col color for edge labels; may be given as a vector or a
#' edge attribute name, if labels are to be of different colors.
#' @param label.lwd line width for label boxes (if \code{boxed.labels==TRUE});
#' may be given as a vector, if label boxes are to have different line widths.
#' @param edge.len if \code{uselen==TRUE}, curved edge lengths are scaled by
#' \code{edge.len}.
#' @param edge.curve if \code{usecurve==TRUE}, the extent of edge curvature is
#' controlled by \code{edge.curv}.  May be given as a fixed value, vector,
#' adjacency matrix, or edge attribute name, if edges are to have different
#' levels of curvature.
#' @param edge.steps for curved edges (excluding loops), the number of line
#' segments to use for the curve approximation.
#' @param loop.steps for loops, the number of line segments to use for the
#' curve approximation.
#' @param object.scale base length for plotting objects, as a fraction of the
#' linear scale of the plotting region. Defaults to 0.01.
#' @param uselen boolean; should we use \code{edge.len} to rescale edge
#' lengths?
#' @param usecurve boolean; should we use \code{edge.curve}?
#' @param suppress.axes boolean; suppress plotting of axes?
#' @param vertices.last boolean; plot vertices after plotting edges?
#' @param new boolean; create a new plot?  If \code{new==FALSE}, vertices and
#' edges will be added to the existing plot.
#' @param layout.par parameters to the \code{\link{network.layout}} function
#' specified in \code{mode}.
#' @param \dots additional arguments to \code{\link{plot}}.
#' @return A two-column matrix containing the vertex positions as x,y
#' coordinates
#' @note \code{plot.network} is adapted (with minor modifications) from the
#' \code{\link[sna]{gplot}} function of the \code{sna} library (authors: Carter
#' T. Butts and Alex Montgomery); eventually, these two packages will be
#' integrated.
