named_elements: Textual Notation of Graph Elements
In iconr: Graphical and Spatial Analysis for Prehistoric Iconography

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples

Create a textual notation for nodes or edges.

  named_elements(grph,
                 focus = "edges",
                 nd.var = "type",
                 disamb.marker = "#")

`grph`	A decoration graph (object of class `igraph`).
`focus`	Textual notation of edges (`focus = "edges"`) or nodes (`focus = "nodes"`). By default `focus = "edges"`.
`nd.var`	The attribute of the graph nodes containing the node variable (ie, field) for the textual annotation. By default `nd.var = "type"`.
`disamb.marker`	Marker used to disambiguated repeated elements. By default `disamb.marker = "#"`.

Edges of type '=' (normal edges) are undirected, so that the order of their nodes is irrelevant and they are presented in alphabetical order. Conversely, edges of types '+' (attribute edges) and '>' (diachronic edges) are directed, so that the given order of nodes is preserved.

Repeated node or edge names are disambiguated by appending the symbol disamb.marker ('#' by default) at the end of the second appearance (suffix). Subsequent appearances are marked by additional disamb.markers.

A character vector of named nodes or edges.
