cache_edge_attrs: Cache edge attributes in the graph

Description

From a graph object of class dgr_graph, get edge attribute properties for one or more edges and cache those values in the graph for later retrieval using get_cache.

Usage

cache_edge_attrs(graph, edge_attr, mode = NULL, from = NULL, to = NULL)

Arguments

graph

a graph object of class dgr_graph.

edge_attr

the edge attribute from which to obtain values.

mode

a option to recast the returned vector of edge attribute value as numeric or character.

from

an optional vector of node IDs from which the edge is outgoing for filtering the list of edges present in the graph.

to

an optional vector of node IDs to which the edge is incoming for filtering the list of edges present in the graph.

Value

a graph object of class dgr_graph. # Set a seed set.seed(25)

# Create a graph with 10 nodes and 9 edges graph <- create_graph() add_n_nodes(10) add_edges_w_string( "1->2 1->3 2->4 2->5 3->6 3->7 4->8 4->9 5->10") set_edge_attrs( "value", rnorm(edge_count(.), 5, 2))

# Cache all values from the edge attribute `value` # as a numeric vector graph <- graph cache_edge_attrs("value", "numeric")

# Get the mean from all values available in # the cache graph #> [1] 4.62536
