graphLayout: Layout a graph.

In hyperdraw: Visualizing Hypergaphs

Description

This function is designed to layout a graph using the Rgraphviz package. The hyperdraw package makes this a generic function with a method for graphBPH objects. The function of the same name in the Rgraphviz package is used as a method for Ragraph objects.

Usage

graphLayout(graph, layoutType, ...)

Arguments

graph	An graphBPH object, which is to be laid out.
layoutType	The layout method (e.g., dot or neato).
...	These arguments will be passed to the agopen() function.

Value

An RagraphBPH object.
