Research direction

Start by reading the existing plot() behavior for table objects and the mixingmatrix representation referenced in the issue. Define which network composition measure should control cell dimensions and which edge statistic should control colour before implementation. Done requires an agreed network-appropriate heat-map design and corresponding plot behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Heat maps are often used to visualise mixing matrices, but the default method for table objects uses mosaic plots. For networks, it's also meaningful to adjust the counts for network composition. For example, number of nodes with a particular attribute value could be mapped to the height or the width of the corresponding cells on the heat map, and the edge count and/or density and/or residual relative to independence can be mapped to the cell's colour.
