Additional argument items.
Multilevel graphs represent networks with multiple “levels”, such as distinct domains within a network structure. These networks may include ties both within and between domains.
Because this function accepts many arguments, they may be collected in a list and supplied through the scope option.
The list can contain vectors, scalars, or combinations of both for rendering.
The bundle widths bwd and bwd2 range from 0, where edges are collapsed, to the default value of 1, depending on vertex size.
Values greater than one are allowed when valued option is used.
In multilevel structures, argument clu serves to assign network members to classes.
Setting the corresponding vector to NULL places all members of a domain or codomain in a single class.
Likewise, setting argument nr to NULL in the conc layout uses two radii, one for each domain.
