BioNet (version 1.32.0)

subNetwork: Create a subGraph

Description

The function creates a subgraph with the nodes given in the nodeList or for these nodes including their direct neighbors.

Usage

subNetwork(nodeList, network, neighbors=c("none", "first"))

Arguments

nodeList

Character vector of nodes, contained in the subgraph.

network

Graph that is used for subgraph extraction.

neighbors

Neighborhood, that is chosen for the subgraph extraction. "none" are only the selected nodes, "first" includes the direct neighbors of the selected nodes.

Value

A graph object.

Examples

library(igraph)
el <- cbind(c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "d"), c("b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "a", "b"))
graph <- graph.edgelist(el, directed=TRUE)

node.list <- c("a", "b", "c")
graph2 <- subNetwork(nodeList=node.list, network=graph)
## Not run: par(mfrow=c(1,2));
# plotModule(graph);
# plotModule(graph2)## End(Not run)

# or in graphNEL format: 
graph3 <- igraph.to.graphNEL(graph)
graph4 <- subNetwork(nodeList=node.list, network=graph3)
graph3
graph4
