Les Misérables Characters network

Mia Jovanova

This undirected network contains co-occurrences of characters in Victor Hugo’s novel, Les Misérables.

A node represents a character, and an edge between two nodes shows that these two characters appeared in the same chapter of the book.

• Select ID = to view characters.
• Select Group = to view color-coded communities of characters.

nodes <- jsonlite::fromJSON("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datastorm-open/datastorm-open.github.io/master/visNetwork/data/nodes_miserables.json")
edges <- jsonlite::fromJSON("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datastorm-open/datastorm-open.github.io/master/visNetwork/data/edges_miserables.json")
visNetwork(nodes, edges, height = "800px", width = "90%", style = "font-family:Comic Sans MS; font-size:30px") %>%
  visNodes(font = list(size = 22)) %>%
  visOptions(selectedBy = "group",
             highlightNearest = TRUE,
             nodesIdSelection = TRUE) %>%
  visPhysics(forceAtlas2Based = list(gravitationalConstant = -100))
