# Summary

A graph describes a network structure of nodes connected by edges, and is used across many areas of science to represent relationships between entities. When the relationships themselves are spatial, node positions carry physical meaning, and the graph must be further represented within an external frame of reference. In R, *igraph* [@Nepusz2006] provides powerful tools for network analysis, and the *ggplot2* ecosystem [@Wickham2016] for visualization, drawing nodes and edges as separate layers. Integrating the two remains challenging, however, because the geometry of these layers is not fully coordinated at rendering time, a consequence of *ggplot2*'s input model, in which each plot layer consumes a single rectangular table and is resolved independently. This design works remarkably well for most applications but is restrictive for graph structures with mutually dependent components. Because layers do not share transformed states, the graph is not rendered as a single coherent object. Here we introduce *RGraphSpace*, a streamlined interface that integrates *igraph* with *ggplot2* graphics within a normalized coordinate space. It synchronizes node and edge layers, jointly resolving their geometry under standard aesthetic mappings. This coherence lets the graph be anchored to external reference frames, where it becomes a spatial object embedded in a wider context.
