ggplot2 version of shepard plot, i.e. vegan::stressplot()?-CodePudding

There seems to be quite a bit of information for plotting NMDS outputs (i.e. NMDS1 vs NMDS1) using ggplot2 however I cannot find a way to plot the vegan::stressplot() (shepard's plot) using ggplot2.

Is there a way to produce a ggplot2 version of a metaMDS output?

Reproducible code

library(vegan)

set.seed(2)

community_matrix = matrix(
  sample(1:100,300,replace=T),nrow=10,
  dimnames=list(paste("community",1:10,sep=""),paste("sp",1:30,sep="")))

example_NMDS=metaMDS(community_matrix, k=2) 

stressplot(example_NMDS)
