convertion: this function convert graph matrix form into graph edge form

In loop: loop decomposition of weighted directed graphs for life cycle analysis, providing flexbile network plotting methods, and analyzing food chain properties in ecology

Description

graph matrix form is a square matrix in which each element a(ij) denotes the weight of a direction from a row entry (row i) to a column entry (column j)

Usage

convertion(gemat)

Arguments

gemat

the square graph matrix

Details

each element must be larger (a weighted link) or equal to zero (no link)

Value

graph edge matrix with first column meaning the starting points, the second column denoting the ending points, the last column denotes the weights for the links.
