Hierarchical Diagram of Networks in sna or otherwise?
Nearly. The algorithm turns up slightly different graphs each time (and set.seed doesn't seem to make it consistent) and periodically chokes. But better than what I had. Hrm. I don't know much about the algorithm graphviz uses for dot. Do you have a reference on hand? If it's simple, I'd be willing to take a whack at it.

Jarrett, the 'igraph' package has a layout called layout.reingold.tilford that is designed for trees, there is a slight chance that it is good enough for you. Best, Gabor On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 10:11 PM, jebyrnes <byrnes at msi.ucsb.edu> wrote:
