How to make igraph network more readable in R?

Question

I have the following sample data (total of 700 observations), code and resulting graph in R. How can I modify the code to make the graph more readable?

The data can be read as "V1 is a follower of V2", on down.

g <- graph.data.frame(graph_subset, directed=TRUE)
plot(g, edge.width=E(g)$weight)

Answer 1

I agree with @MrFlick's comment and @zx8754. You could also try modifying the layout:

plot(g, mode = "circle", edge.width=E(g)$weight)

There are several modes to modify the layout: circle, eigen, random, spring, kamadakawi and so on. Kamadakawi is my best option.

Hope it helps!

Try:

plot(g, layout=layout_in_circle, edge.width=E(g)$weight)

this must change the layout, you can also modify the size of vertex with vertex.cex=1.5 and hide the labels with displaylabels=F . There are more commands, find them in the tutorial that @zx8754 mentioned, section 4.2.
