R: Adjusting Labels in circlize diagram

Question

I have the code below which im trying to make into a circular diagram using the amazing package circlize

I have read the vigenette and admit some of it has gone over

Answer 1

I actually had the same problem that the "old" labels were still there when I wanted the rotate labels. The trick for me was to use

chordDiagram(as.matrix(data).....etc.

so when I explicitly said I had a matrix it worked.
