histPlot: Plotting historical co-citation network

Description

histPlot plots a historical co-citation network.

Usage

histPlot(histResults, size = F, labelsize = 1)

Arguments

histResults

is an object of class "list" containing the following components:

NetMatrix		the historical co-citation network matrix
Degree		the min degree of the network

is a network matrix obtained by the function biblioNetwork.

size

is logical. If TRUE the point size of each vertex is proportional to its degree.

labelsize

is an integer. It indicates the label size in the plot. Default is labelsize=1

Value

It is a network object of the class igraph.

Details

The function histPlot can plot a historical co-citation network previously created by histNetwork.

histResults <- histNetwork(scientometrics, n = 20, sep = ";")

net <- histPlot(histResults, size = TRUE)
