Plot networks from lavaan? about ggraph HOT 2 CLOSED

Just to let others know, I'm working on some code that can seamlessly input a lavaan fit object and then output an igraph class object ready for plotting with ggraph, including with the correct directional links and their coefficients.

I've never worked with network analysis like this before, so there is some learning involved on my part. So far, have the adjacency matrix worked out. Need to add the path coefficients, but I think I know how to do that from reading this igraph tutorial.

The difficult part after that is having it automatically select a layout that's mostly acceptable. It's my understanding that there's a bunch of algos for this already, but they often produce not quite good results. Maybe there's some theorem that one cannot make an algo that consistently produces decent outcomes, but I'm inclined to try (and maybe it is futile).

@Deleetdk Hey, any advances on this useful feature? Thanks
