Construct visualizations such as timelines and animated movies of networkDynamic objects to show changes in structure and attributes over time.
Skye Bender-deMoll, and the Statnet Commons team Maintainer: Skye <skyebend@uw.edu>
For version and license information, run packageDescription('ndtv')
Uses network objects with dynamics encoded using networkDynamic.
Key features:
Compute a dynamic layout using compute.animation.
Render it as a movie using render.animation.
Render animations to a web page using render.d3movie
Plot multiple 'stills' of a movie with filmstrip
Plot a timeline of edge and vertex activity with timeline
Plot network geodesic proximities as a stream graph with proximity.timeline

The package includes several example datasets:
msm.sim output of a stergm simulation of basic sex contact network model
short.stergm.sim Very Very Basic stergm simulation output (25 time steps)
stergm.sim.1 Very Very Basic stergm simulation output (100 time steps)
toy_epi_sim Toy Epidemic Simulation Output from the EpiModel package
