  auto_remove_point_edges = TRUE,
  verbose = 1,
  add_obs_options = list(return_removed = FALSE, verbose = verbose),
  lines = deprecated()
)
Arguments
edges

A list containing coordinates as ⁠m x 2⁠ matrices (that is, of matrix type) or m x 2 data frames (data.frame type) of sequence of points connected by straightlines. Alternatively, you can also prove an object of type SSN, osmdata_sp, osmdata_sf, SpatialLinesDataFrame or SpatialLines (from sp package) or MULTILINESTRING (from sf package).

V

n x 2 matrix with Euclidean coordinates of the n vertices. If non-NULL, no merges will be performed.

E

m x 2 matrix where each row represents one of the m edges. If non-NULL, no merges will be performed.

vertex_unit

The unit in which the vertices are specified. The options are 'degree' (the great circle distance in km), 'km', 'm' and 'miles'. The default is NULL, which means no unit. However, if you set length_unit, you need to set vertex_unit.

length_unit

The unit in which the lengths will be computed. The options are 'km', 'm' and 'miles'. The default, when longlat is TRUE, or an sf or sp objects are provided, is 'km'.

edge_weights

Either a number, a numerical vector with length given by the number of edges, providing the edge weights, or a data.frame with the number of rows being equal to the number of edges, where each row gives a vector of weights to its corresponding edge. Can be changed by using the set_edge_weights() method.

kirchhoff_weights

If non-null, the name (or number) of the column of edge_weights that contain the Kirchhoff weights. Must be equal to 1 (or TRUE) in case edge_weights is a single number and those are the Kirchhoff weights.

directional_weights

If non-null, the name (or number) of the column of edge_weights that contain the directional weights. The default is the first column of the edge weights.

longlat

There are three options: NULL, TRUE or FALSE. If NULL (the default option), the edges argument will be checked to see if there is a CRS or proj4string available, if so, longlat will be set to TRUE, otherwise, it will be set to FALSE. If TRUE, then it is assumed that the coordinates are given. in Longitude/Latitude and that distances should be computed in meters. If TRUE it takes precedence over vertex_unit and length_unit, and is equivalent to vertex_unit = 'degree' and length_unit = 'm'.

crs

Coordinate reference system to be used in case longlat is set to TRUE and which_longlat is sf. Object of class crs. The default choice, if the edges object does not have CRS nor proj4string, is sf::st_crs(4326).

proj4string

Projection string of class CRS-class to be used in case longlat is set to TRUE and which_longlat is sp. The default choice, if the edges object does not have CRS nor proj4string, is sp::CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84").

which_longlat

Compute the distance using which package? The options are sp and sf. The default is sp.

include_obs

If the object is of class SSN, should the observations be added? If NULL and the edges are of class SSN, the data will be automatically added. If FALSE, the data will not be added. Alternatively, one can set this argument to the numbers or names of the columns of the observations to be added as observations.

include_edge_weights

If the object is of class SSN, osmdata_sp, osmdata_sf, SpatialLinesDataFrame, MULTILINESTRING, LINESTRING, sfc_LINESTRING, sfc_MULTILINESTRING, should the edge data (if any) be added as edge weights? If NULL, the edge data will be added as edge weights, if FALSE they will not be added. Alternatively, one can set this argument to the numbers or names of the columns of the edge data to be added as edge weights.

project

If longlat is TRUE should a projection be used to compute the distances to be used for the tolerances (see tolerance below)? The default is FALSE. When TRUE, the construction of the graph is faster.

project_data

If longlat is TRUE should the vertices be project to planar coordinates? The default is FALSE. When TRUE, the construction of the graph is faster.

which_projection

Which projection should be used in case project is TRUE? The options are Robinson, ⁠Winkel tripel⁠ or a proj4string. The default is ⁠Winkel tripel⁠.

manual_edge_lengths

If non-NULL, a vector containing the edges lengths, and all the quantities related to edge lengths will be computed in terms of these. If merges are performed, it is likely that the merges will override the manual edge lengths. In such a case, to provide manual edge lengths, one should either set the perform_merges argument to FALSE or use the set_manual_edge_lengths() method.

perform_merges

There are three options, NULL, TRUE or FALSE. The default option is NULL. If NULL, it will be set to FALSE unless 'edges', 'V' and 'E' are NULL, in which case it will be set to TRUE. If FALSE, this will take priority over the other arguments, and no merges (except the optional merge_close_vertices below) will be performed. Note that the merge on the additional merge_close_vertices might still be performed, if it is set to TRUE.

approx_edge_PtE

Should the relative positions on the edges be approximated? The default is TRUE. If FALSE, the speed can be considerably slower, especially for large metric graphs.

tolerance

List that provides tolerances during the construction of the graph:

  • vertex_vertex Vertices that are closer than this number are merged (default = 1e-7).

  • vertex_edge If a vertex at the end of one edge is closer than this number to another edge, this vertex is connected to that edge (default = 1e-7). Previously vertex_line, which is now deprecated.

  • edge_edge If two edges at some point are closer than this number, a new vertex is added at that point and the two edges are connected (default = 0).

  • vertex_line, Deprecated. Use vertex_edge instead.

  • line_line, Deprecated. Use edge_edge instead.

In case longlat = TRUE, the tolerances are given in length_unit.

check_connected

If TRUE, it is checked whether the graph is connected and a warning is given if this is not the case.

remove_deg2

Set to TRUE to remove all vertices of degree 2 in the initialization. Default is FALSE.

merge_close_vertices

Should an additional step to merge close vertices be done? The options are NULL (the default), TRUE or FALSE. If NULL, it will be determined automatically. If TRUE this step will be performed even if perfom_merges is set to FALSE.

factor_merge_close_vertices

Which factor to be multiplied by tolerance vertex_vertex when merging close vertices at the additional step?

remove_circles

All circlular edges with a length smaller than this number are removed. If TRUE, the vertex_vertex tolerance will be used. If FALSE, no circles will be removed.

auto_remove_point_edges

Should edges of length zero, that is, edges that are actually points, be automatically removed?

verbose

Print progress of graph creation. There are 3 levels of verbose, level 0, 1 and 2. In level 0, no messages are printed. In level 1, only messages regarding important steps are printed. Finally, in level 2, messages detailing all the steps are printed. The default is 1.

add_obs_options

List containing additional options to be passed to the add_observations() method when adding observations from SSN data?

lines

[Deprecated] Use edges instead.

Details

A graph object can be initialized in two ways. The first method is to specify V and E. In this case, all edges are assumed to be straight lines. The second option is to specify the graph via the lines input. In this case, the vertices are set by the end points of the lines. Thus, if two lines are intersecting somewhere else, this will not be viewed as a vertex.

  improve_plot = deprecated(),
  ...
)
Arguments
data

Which column of the data to plot? If NULL, no data will be plotted.

newdata

A dataset of class metric_graph_data, obtained by any get_data(), mutate(), filter(), summarise(), drop_na() methods of metric graphs, see the vignette on data manipulation for more details.

group

If there are groups, which group to plot? If group is a number, it will be the index of the group as stored internally. If group is a character, then the group will be chosen by its name.

X

A vector with values for the function evaluated at the mesh in the graph

type

The type of plot to be returned. The options are ggplot (the default), that uses ggplot2; plotly that uses plot_ly for 3D plots, which requires the plotly package, and mapview that uses the mapview function, to build interactive plots, which requires the mapview package.

continuous

Should continuity be assumed when the plot uses newdata?

interpolate_plot

Should the values to be plotted be interpolated?

edge_weight

Which column from edge weights to plot? If NULL edge weights are not plotted. To plot the edge weights when the metric graph edge_weights is a vector instead of a data.frame, simply set to 1.

vertex_size

Size of the vertices.

vertex_color

Color of vertices.

edge_width

Width for edges.

edge_color

For 3D plot, color of edges.

line_width

For 3D plot, line width of the function curve.

line_color

Color of the function curve.

scale_color

Color scale to be used for data and weights.

scale_color_mapview

Color scale to be applied for data when type = "mapview".

support_width

For 3D plot, width of support lines.

support_color

For 3D plot, color of support lines.

mapview_caption

Caption for the function if type = "mapview".

p

Previous plot to which the new plot should be added.

plotly

[Deprecated] Use type instead.

improve_plot

[Deprecated] Use interpolate instead. There is no need to use it to improve the edges.

...

Additional arguments for ggplot() or plot_ly()

Returns

Either a ggplot (if plotly = FALSE) or a plot_ly object.

Method plot_movie()

Plots a movie of a continuous function evolving on the graph.

Usage
metric_graph$plot_movie(
  X,
  type = "plotly",
  vertex_size = 5,
  vertex_color = "black",
  edge_width = 1,
  edge_color = "black",
  line_width = NULL,
  line_color = "rgb(0,0,200)",
  ...
)
Arguments
X

A m x T matrix where the ith column represents the function at the ith time, evaluated at the mesh locations.

type

Type of plot. Either "plotly" or "ggplot".

vertex_size

Size of the vertices.

vertex_color

Color of vertices.

edge_width

Width for edges.

edge_color

For 3D plot, color of edges.

line_width

For 3D plot, line width of the function curve.

line_color

Color of the function curve.

...

Additional arguments for ggplot or plot_ly.

Returns

Either a ggplot (if plotly=FALSE) or a plot_ly object.

Method add_mesh_observations()

Add observations on mesh to the object.

Usage
metric_graph$add_mesh_observations(data = NULL, group = NULL)
Arguments
data

A data.frame or named list containing the observations. In case of groups, the data.frames for the groups should be stacked vertically, with a column indicating the index of the group. If data_frame is not NULL, it takes priority over any eventual data in Spoints.

group

If the data_frame contains groups, one must provide the column in which the group indices are stored.

Returns

No return value. Called for its side effects. The observations are stored in the data element in the metric_graph object.

Method get_initial_graph()

Returns a copy of the initial metric graph.

Usage
metric_graph$get_initial_graph()
Returns

A metric_graph object.

Method coordinates()

Convert between locations on the graph and Euclidean coordinates.

Usage
metric_graph$coordinates(PtE = NULL, XY = NULL, normalized = TRUE)
Arguments
PtE

Matrix with locations on the graph (edge number and normalized position on the edge).

XY

Matrix with locations in Euclidean space

normalized

If TRUE, it is assumed that the positions in PtE are normalized to (0,1), and the object returned if XY is specified contains normalized locations.

Returns

If PtE is specified, then a matrix with Euclidean coordinates of the locations is returned. If XY is provided, then a matrix with the closest locations on the graph is returned. Gets the edge weights data.frame If the edge weights are given as vectors, should the result be returned as a data.frame? A vector or data.frame containing the edge weights. data List containing data on the metric graph.

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage
metric_graph$clone(deep = FALSE)
Arguments
deep

Whether to make a deep clone.

Examples

edge1 <- rbind(c(0, 0), c(2, 0))
edge2 <- rbind(c(2, 0), c(1, 1))
edge3 <- rbind(c(1, 1), c(0, 0))
edges <- list(edge1, edge2, edge3)
graph <- metric_graph$new(edges)
graph$plot()
