Description

histPlot plots a historical co-citation network.

Usage

histPlot(histResults, size = F)

Arguments

histResults
is an object of class "list" containing the following components:

NetMatrix
the historical co-citation network matrix Degree
the min degree of the network

is a network matrix obtained by the function biblioNetwork.

size
is logical. If TRUE the point size of each vertex is proportional to its degree.

Value

It is a network object of the class igraph.

Details

The function histPlot can plot a historical co-citation network previously created by histNetwork.

Examples

Run this code
# EXAMPLE Co-citation network

library(igraph)
data(scientometrics)

histResults <- histNetwork(scientometrics, n = 20, sep = ";")

net <- histPlot(histResults, size = TRUE)
