as_adjacency_matrix: Convert a graph to an adjacency matrix

Description

Sometimes it is useful to work with a standard representation of a graph, like an adjacency matrix.

Usage

as_adjacency_matrix(graph, type = c("both", "upper", "lower"), attr = NULL,
  edges = FALSE, names = TRUE, sparse = igraph_opt("sparsematrices"))

as_adj(graph, type = c("both", "upper", "lower"), attr = NULL, edges = FALSE, names = TRUE, sparse = igraph_opt("sparsematrices"))

Arguments

graph
The graph to convert.
type
Gives how to create the adjacency matrix for undirected graphs. It is ignored for directed graphs. Possible values: upper: the upper right triangle of the matrix is used, lower: the lower left triangle of the matrix is used.
attr
Either NULL or a character string giving an edge attribute name. If NULL a traditional adjacency matrix is returned. If not NULL then the values of the given edge attribute are included in the adjacency matrix. If th
edges
Logical scalar, whether to return the edge ids in the matrix. For non-existant edges zero is returned.
names
Logical constant, whether to assign row and column names to the matrix. These are only assigned if the name vertex attribute is present in the graph.
sparse
Logical scalar, whether to create a sparse matrix. The Matrix package must be installed for creating sparse matrices.

Value

  • A vcount(graph) by vcount(graph) (usually) numeric matrix.

Details

as_adjacency_matrix returns the adjacency matrix of a graph, a regular matrix if sparse is FALSE, or a sparse matrix, as defined in the Matrix package, if sparse if TRUE.

Examples

Run this code
g <- sample_gnp(10, 2/10)
as_adjacency_matrix(g)
V(g)$name <- letters[1:vcount(g)]
as_adjacency_matrix(g)
E(g)$weight <- runif(ecount(g))
as_adjacency_matrix(g, attr="weight")
