create_series: Create a graph series object

Description

Create a graph series object for storage of multiple graphs across a sequential or temporal one-dimensional array.

Usage

create_series(graph = NULL, series_name = NULL,
  series_type = "sequential", series_scripts = NULL)

Arguments

graph

a graph object to add to the new graph series object.

series_name

an optional name to ascribe to the series.

series_type

either a sequential type (the default) or a temporal type (which requires date-time strings and time zone codes to be supplied).

series_scripts

a vector of R scripts or paths to R scripts.

Value

• a graph series object of type dgr_graph_1D.

Examples

# Create three graphs (using \code{magrittr} pipes)
# and create a graph series using those graphs
library(magrittr)

graph_1 <- create_graph() %>%
  add_node("a") %>% add_node("b") %>% add_node("c") %>%
  add_edges(from = c("a", "a", "b"),
            to =   c("c", "b", "c"))

graph_2 <- graph_1 %>%
  add_node("d") %>% add_edges(from = "d", to = "c")

graph_3 <- graph_2 %>%
  add_node("e") %>% add_edges(from = "e", to = "b")

# Create an empty graph series
series <- create_series(series_type = "sequential")

# Add graphs to the graph series
series <- graph_1 %>>% add_to_series(series)
series <- graph_2 %>>% add_to_series(series)
series <- graph_3 %>>% add_to_series(series)
