plotGraph: Plot of a mixed graph

Description

Plots a mixed graph from an adjacency matrix, a graphNEL object, an igraph object, or a descriptive vector.

Usage

plotGraph(a, dashed = FALSE, tcltk = TRUE, layout = layout.auto, 
directed = FALSE, noframe = FALSE, nodesize = 15, vld = 0, vc = "gray", 
vfc = "black", colbid = "FireBrick3", coloth = "black", cex = 1.5, ...)

Arguments

a

An adjacency matrix: a matrix that consists of 4 different integers as an $ij$-element: 0 for a missing edge between $i$ and $j$, 1 for an arrow from $i$ to $j$, 10 for a full line between $i$ and $j$, and 100 for a bi-directed arrow between $i$ and $j

dashed

A logical value. If TRUE the bi-directed edges are plotted as undirected dashed edges.

tcltk

A logical value. If TRUE the function opens a tcltk device to plot the graphs, allowing the interactive manimulation of the graph. If FALSEthe function opens a standard device without interaction.

layout

The name of a function used to compute the (initial) layout of the graph. The default is layout.auto. This can be further adjusted if tcltk is TRUE.

directed

A logical value. If FALSE a symmetric adjacency matrix with entries 1 is interpreted as an undirected graph. If FALSE it is interpreted as a directed graph with double arrows. If a is not an adjacency matrix, it is i

noframe

A logical value. If TRUE, then the nodes are not circled.

nodesize

An integer denoting the size of the nodes (default 15). It can be increased to accommodate larger labels.

vld

An integer defining the distance between a vertex and its label. Defaults to 0.

vc

Vertex color. Default is "gray".

vfc

Vertex frame color. Default is "black".

colbid

Color of the bi-directed edges. Default is "FireBrick3".

coloth

Color of all the other edges. Default is "black".

cex

An integer (defaults to 1) to adjust the scaling of the font of the labels.

...

Further arguments to be passed to plot or tkplot.

Value

• Plot of the associated graph and returns invisibly a list with two slots: tkp.id, graph, the input graph as an igraph object. The id can be used to get the layout of the adjusted graph. The bi-directed edges are plotted in red.

Details

plotGraph uses plot and tkplot in igraph package.
