Defines functions graphab_graph

Documented in graphab_graph

#' Create a graph in the Graphab project
#'
#' @description The function creates a graph from a link set in a Graphab project
#'
#' @param proj_name A character string indicating the Graphab project name.
#' The project name is also the name of the project directory in which the
#' file proj_name.xml is. It can be created with \code{\link{graphab_project}}
#' @param linkset (optional, default=NULL) A character string indicating the
#' name of the link set used to create the graph. If \code{linkset=NULL}, every
#' link set present in the project will be used to create a graph. Link sets
#' can be created with \code{\link{graphab_link}}.
#' @param name (optional, default=NULL) A character string indicating the
#' name of the graph created. If \code{name=NULL}, a name will be created. If
#' both \code{linkset=NULL} and \code{name=NULL}, then a graph will be created
#' for every link set present in the project and a name will be created every
#' time. In the latter case, a unique name cannot be specified. Link sets
#' can be created with \code{\link{graphab_link}}.
#' @param thr (optional, default=NULL) An integer or numeric value indicating
#' the maximum distance associated with the links of the created graph. It
#' allows users to create a pruned graph based on a distance threshold. Note that
#' when the link set used has a planar topology, the graph is necessarily a
#' pruned graph (not complete) and adding this threshold parameter can remove
#' other links. When the link set has been created with cost-distances, the
#' parameter is expressed in cost-distance units whereas when the link set is
#' based upon Euclidean distances, the parameter is expressed in meters.
#' @param cost_conv FALSE (default) or TRUE. Logical indicating whether numeric
#' \code{thr} values are converted from cost-distance into Euclidean distance
#' using a log-log linear regression. See also \code{\link{convert_cd}}
#' function.
#' @param proj_path (optional) A character string indicating the path to the
#' directory that contains the project directory. It should be used when the
#' project directory is not in the current working directory. Default is NULL.
#' When 'proj_path = NULL', the project directory is equal to \code{getwd()}.
#' @param parallel.java An integer indicating how many computer cores are used
#' to run the .jar file. By default, \code{parallel.java = NULL}, and java sets
#' it according to local settings.
#' @param alloc_ram (optional, default = NULL) Integer or numeric value
#' indicating RAM gigabytes allocated to the java process. Increasing this
#' value can speed up the computations. Too large values may not be compatible
#' with your machine settings.
#' @details By default, intra-patch distances are considered for metric
#' calculation. See more information in Graphab 3.0 manual:
