The spnet package offers methods for dealing with spacial social networks. It allows to plot networks for which actors have a specific location on a map (participants in a political debate, cities, etc.). SpatialPolygons objects from the sp package are supported.

networks

Facilitates the rendering of networks for which nodes have a specific position on a map (cities, participants in a political debate, etc.). Map data and network data are stored together in a single object which handles the match between network nodes and their respective position on the map. The plot method renders both the map and the network data. Several networks can be plot simultaneously. The graphic is highly customisable and the legend is automatically printed. Map data have to be supplied as 'SpatialPolygons' objects (from the 'sp' package) and network data as 'named matrix'.
