The read.graph function is able to read graphs in various representations from a file, or from a http connection. Currently some simple formats are supported.

Keywords
graphs
##### Usage
read.graph(file, format = c("edgelist", "pajek", "ncol", "lgl",
"graphml", "dimacs", "graphdb", "gml"), ...)
##### Arguments
file
The connection to read from. This can be a local file, or a http or ftp connection. It can also be a character string with the file name or URI.
format
Character constant giving the file format. Right now edgelist, pajek, graphml, gml, ncol, lgl, dimacs and graphdb are supported, the defaul
...
##### Details

The read.graph function may have additional arguments depending on the file format (the format argument).

• edgelist
{ This format is a simple text file with numeric vertex ids defining the edges. There is no need to have newline characters between the edges, a simple space will also do. Additional arguments:
• n
{The number of vertices in the graph. If it is smaller than or equal to the largest integer in the file, then it is ignored; so it is safe to set it to zero (the default).} directed{Logical scalar, whether to create a directed graph. The default value is TRUE.} }

##### Value

• A graph object.

• The graphs are stored in a compact binary format, one graph per file. The file is composed of 16 bit words, which are represented using the so-called little-endian convention, i.e. the least significant byte of the word is stored first.
• Then, for each node, the file contains the list of edges coming out of the node itself. The list is represented by a word encoding its length, followed by a word for each edge, representing the destination node of the edge. Node numeration is 0-based, so the first node of the graph has index 0.
