[R] Visualization of people's interactions by participation to parties

[Adams, Jean]

Hendrik,

It's not clear to me what kind of R help you are looking for.  I suggest
you provide more information on the data that you have and the questions
that you want answered.  Is it in an external file?  Is it an R object?
What code have you written or tried?  Including example data, for example
the output from dput(), is very helpful.
