gemtc (version 0.8-8)

read.mtc.network: Read mtc.network from legacy GeMTC XML files (.gemtc)

Description

Read legacy GeMTC XML (.gemtc) files.

Usage

read.mtc.network(file)

Arguments

file

Path to the file to read (read.mtc.network).

Value

read.mtc.network returns an object of S3 class mtc.network.

Details

read.mtc.network exists to migrate data from the older GeMTC XML format, and requires the XML package to be installed.

Support for writing XML files has been removed. Instead, use native R methods to read and write networks (e.g. save/load or dput/dget).
