trav_out_nodeR Documentation

Traverse from one or more selected edges onto adjacent, outward nodes

Description

From a graph object of class dgr_graph with an active selection of edges move opposite to the edge direction to connected nodes, replacing the current edge selection with those nodes traversed to. An optional filter by node attribute can limit the set of nodes traversed to.

This traversal function makes use of an active selection of edges. After the traversal, depending on the traversal conditions, there will either be a selection of nodes or no selection at all.

Selections of edges can be performed using the following selection (⁠select_*()⁠) functions: select_edges(), select_last_edges_created(), select_edges_by_edge_id(), or select_edges_by_node_id().

Selections of edges can also be performed using the following traversal (⁠trav_*()⁠) functions: trav_out_edge(), trav_in_edge(), trav_both_edge(), or trav_reverse_edge().

Usage

trav_out_node(
  graph,
  conditions = NULL,
  copy_attrs_from = NULL,
  copy_attrs_as = NULL,
  agg = "sum"
)

Arguments

graph

A graph object of class dgr_graph.

conditions

An option to use filtering conditions for the traversal.

copy_attrs_from

Providing an edge attribute name will copy those edge attribute values to the traversed nodes. If the edge attribute already exists, the values will be merged to the traversed nodes; otherwise, a new node attribute will be created.

copy_attrs_as

If an edge attribute name is provided in copy_attrs_from, this option will allow the copied attribute values to be written under a different node attribute name. If the attribute name provided in copy_attrs_as does not exist in the graph's ndf, the new node attribute will be created with the chosen name.

agg

If an edge attribute is provided to copy_attrs_from, then an aggregation function is required since there may be cases where multiple edge attribute values will be passed onto the traversed node(s). To pass only a single value, the following aggregation functions can be used: sum, min, max, mean, or median.

Value

A graph object of class dgr_graph.
