Read dl Files

Description

A function to read files with the Ucinet dl format.

Usage

read.dl(file)

Arguments

file	Character vector containing a file name or path of the data representing the network.

Details

Ucinet dl format is to represent multiple and two-mode network structures. It is used in NetDraw, which is a component of the Ucinet program. Besides multiple networks, this function can read two-mode structures as well but the ‘EDGELIST’ option in DL is not yet supported for reading.

Value

A data frame for two-mode networks, or an array representing the multiple networks with one set of actors.
