layerMatrix: Layer (sphere) matrix

Description

This method calculates the layer matrix, also known as sphere matrix, of a graph.

Usage

layerMatrix(g, dist=NULL)

Arguments

g

a graph as a graphNEL object.

dist

the pre-computed distance matrix of the graph. Will be calculated automatically if NULL.

Value

This method returns the layer (sphere) matrix of a graph. Each row of this matrix represents a vertex in the graph. The j-th column specifies the number of vertices in the j-sphere of this vertex.
