shortestPath: Shortest Paths and Weighted Shortest Paths

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

View source: R/shortestPath.R

Description

Retrieve the shortest path between two nodes.

Usage

1
2
shortestPath(fromNode, relType, toNode, direction = "out", max_depth = 1,
  cost_property = character())

Arguments

fromNode

A node object.

relType

A character string. The relationship type to traverse.

toNode

A node object.

direction

A character string. The relationship direction to traverse; this can be either "in", "out", or "all".

max_depth

An integer. The maximum depth of the path.

cost_property

A character string. If retrieving a weighted shortest path, the name of the relationship property that contains the weights.

Value

A path object.
