gra2nb(graObject)

graObject

graph object of class "gra"

Examples

# NOT RUN {
## first nb to gra:
library(spdep)
library(maptools)
columbus <- readShapePoly(system.file("etc/shapes/columbus.shp", package="spdep")[1])
colNb <- poly2nb(columbus)
## ... here manual editing is possible ...
## then export to graph format
colGra <- nb2gra(colNb)

## and save in BayesX file
graFile <- tempfile()
write.gra(colGra, file=graFile)

## now back from gra to nb:
colGra <- read.gra(graFile)
newColNb <- gra2nb(colGra)
newColNb
## compare this with the original
colNb
## only the call attribute does not match (which is OK):
all.equal(newColNb, colNb,
          check.attributes=FALSE)
attr(newColNb, "call")
attr(colNb, "call")
# }
