How do you know it's physically possible to create a 2D layout with no overlap? 1500 nodes is a lot. What did you try? What did you get? Did you produce a diagram, just with more overlap than you were expecting? That may be the best you can do. > More or less tried all the things mentioned in this link - > > http://kateto.net/network-visualization Again, what did you try? What did you get that doesn't meet your needs? Just the overlap? Again, that may be unavoidable. Note the comment from that link: "One thing to emphasize though is that in many cases, visualizing larger networks as giant hairballs is less helpful than providing charts that show key characteristics of the graph." > Can you please suggest how to do it in R ? For working with largish graph layouts, I've had more success with gephi than R, although I believe you can duplicate most of the gephi functionality in R.
