Description

With a graph object of class dgr_graph, add a new node of a specified type to extant nodes within the graph.

Usage

add_node(graph, type = NULL, label = NULL, from = NULL, to = NULL)

Arguments

graph

a graph object of class dgr_graph.

type

an optional character object that acts as a group identifier for the node to be added.

label

an optional character object that describes the node.

from

an optional vector containing node IDs from which edges will be directed to the new node.

to

an optional vector containing node IDs to which edges will be directed from the new node.

Value

a graph object of class dgr_graph.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Create an empty graph and add 2 nodes by using
# the `add_node()` function twice
graph <-
  create_graph() %>%
  add_node() %>%
  add_node()

# Get a count of nodes in the graph
node_count(graph)
#> [1] 2

# The nodes added were given ID values `1` and `2`
get_node_ids(graph)
#> [1] 1 2

# Add a node with a `type` value defined
graph <- add_node(graph, "person")

# View the graph's internal node data frame (ndf)
get_node_df(graph)
#>   id   type label
#> 1  1   <NA>  <NA>
#> 2  2   <NA>  <NA>
#> 3  3 person  <NA>
# }
