layoutVertexByAttr: A graph layout function, which groups vertices by attribute.

In NetPathMiner: NetPathMiner for Biological Network Construction, Path Mining and Visualization

Description

This function generates a layout for igraph objects, keeping vertices with the same attribute (ex: in the same pathway, etc) close to each other.

Usage

layoutVertexByAttr(graph, attr.name, cluster.strength = 1,
  layout = layout.auto)

Arguments

graph	An annotated igraph object.
attr.name	The attribute name by which vertices are laid out.
cluster.strength	A number indicating tie strengths between vertices with the same attribute. The larger it is, the closer the vertices will be.
layout	A layout function, ideally a force-directed layout fuction, such as layout_with_fr and layout_with_kk.

Value

A two-column matrix indicating the x and y postions of vertices.
