This I can do relatively easily I think. Or you can also git it a try, if
you want. Would you like to open an issue for it at
https://github.com/igraph/igraph/issues? Thanks.

I am not sure about this. Ideally, one could create an R package that
contains Gephi toolkit, and then use that to control gephi and send graphs
to it. But isn't this exactly what the graph streaming is doing? Why is
this solution better?

This I have no idea about.

I would vote for the first option right now. It seems easy enough, and
useful, and since we already have it in Python, it would be nice to have it
in R as well.

Best,
