Error: datashader.bundling

[fcorowe]

Thanks for the package. The maps look awesome.

I am having a problem running the code provided on the website. Specifically I am struggling to run the following line:

hbundle <- edge_bundle_hammer(g, xy, bw = 0.7, decay = 0.5)

It returns this error:
Error: Python module datashader.bundling was not found.

I checked I have this datashader installed and it is:

Yet, I get the same error when I run the line of code above.

Any advice on this issue would be appreciated, or general advice on how to get the package working.

My computational set up is:

Debugging datashader is always tricky for me. Did you use the automatic install shown here: https://github.com/schochastics/edgebundle/blob/main/R/bundle_hammer.R#L62-L68

Or did you install it manually?

[fcorowe]

I did try both options - same result

This is the message I get:

Also I tried it two machines: a Mac Studio, and a Mac Pro. The output above is from the Mac Studio which I trust less as I can't list the modules that are installed on the version of Python. Nonetheless, I can't get the package to work on my Mac Pro either.

what happens when you run install_bundle_py?

I had the same issue on Ubuntu 22.04 and running install_bundle_py() fixed it.

I'd recommend switching to ggraph for edgebundling. Most of the algorithms implemented here are now ported in a better way to that package

[fcorowe]

Hi @schochastics, could you please elaborate on what exactly is the suggestion. Is it to use this package: https://ggraph.data-imaginist.com/reference/geom_conn_bundle.html instead of yours?

[schochastics]

@fcorowe Yes, most functionality was ported to ggraph and is available under geom_edge_bundle_* see the release blog post: https://www.data-imaginist.com/posts/2024-02-15-ggraph-2-2-0/
