好的，所以我无法抗拒，我按照@agstudy 的建议根据网格包做了一个绘图。有几件事仍然困扰着我：
- 贝塞尔箭头不跟随直线，而是直接指向盒子，而不是从某个角度进入。
- 我不知道贝塞尔曲线有一个很好的分级选项，在 R 中似乎通常很少支持渐变（我读过的大多数解决方案都是关于多行的）
已修复
好的，经过大量的工作，我终于完全正确了。我的包的新 0.5.3.0 版本有情节的代码。
旧代码
剧情如下：
还有代码：
#' A transition plot
#'
#' This plot purpose is to illustrate how states change before and
#' after. In my research I use it before surgery and after surgery
#' but it can be used in any situation where you have a change from
#' one state to another
#'
#' @param transition_flow This should be a matrix with the size of the transitions.
#' The unit for each cell should be number of observations, row/column-proportions
#' will show incorrect sizes. The matrix needs to be square. The best way to generate
#' this matrix is probably just do a \code{table(starting_state, end_state)}. The rows
#' represent the starting positions, while the columns the end positions. I.e. the first
#' rows third column is the number of observations that go from the first class to the
#' third class.
#' @param box_txt The text to appear inside of the boxes. If you need line breaks
#' then you need to manually add a \\n inside the string.
#' @param tot_spacing The proportion of the vertical space that is to be left
#' empty. It is then split evenly between the boxes.
#' @param box_width The width of the box. By default the box is one fourth of
#' the plot width.
#' @param fill_start_box The fill color of the start boxes. This can either
#' be a single value ore a vector if you desire different colors for each
#' box.
#' @param txt_start_clr The text color of the start boxes. This can either
#' be a single value ore a vector if you desire different colors for each
#' box.
#' @param fill_end_box The fill color of the end boxes. This can either
#' be a single value ore a vector if you desire different colors for each
#' box.
#' @param txt_end_clr The text color of the end boxes. This can either
#' be a single value ore a vector if you desire different colors for each
#' box.
#' @param pt The point size of the text
#' @param min_lwd The minimum width of the line that we want to illustrate the
#' tranisition with.
#' @param max_lwd The maximum width of the line that we want to illustrate the
#' tranisition with.
#' @param lwd_prop_total The width of the lines may be proportional to either the
#' other flows from that box, or they may be related to all flows. This is a boolean
#' parameter that is set to true by default, i.e. relating to all flows.
#' @return void

# Settings
no_boxes <- 3
# Generate test setting
transition_matrix <- matrix(NA, nrow=no_boxes, ncol=no_boxes)
transition_matrix[1,] <- 200*c(.5, .25, .25)
transition_matrix[2,] <- 540*c(.75, .10, .15)
transition_matrix[3,] <- 340*c(0, .2, .80)
transitionPlot(transition_matrix,
box_txt = c("First", "Second", "Third"))
