#' Mutate a set of node attribute values
#'
#' @description
#'
#' Within a graph's internal node data frame (ndf), mutate numeric node
#' attribute values using one or more expressions.
#'
#' @inheritParams render_graph
#' @param ... Expressions used for the mutation of node attributes. LHS of each
#'   expression is either an existing or new node attribute name. The RHS can
#'   consist of any valid R code that uses node attributes as variables.
#'   Expressions are evaluated in the order provided, so, node attributes
#'   created or modified are ready to use in subsequent expressions.
#'
#' @return A graph object of class `dgr_graph`.
