In sna: Tools for Social Network Analysis

Add Isolates to a Graph

Description

Adds n isolates to the graph (or graphs) in dat.

Usage

add.isolates(dat, n, return.as.edgelist = FALSE)

Arguments

dat	one or more input graphs.
n	the number of isolates to add.
return.as.edgelist	logical; should the input graph be returned as an edgelist (rather than an adjacency matrix)?

Details

If dat contains more than one graph, the n isolates are added to each member of dat.

Value

The updated graph(s).

Note

Isolate addition is particularly useful when computing structural distances between graphs of different orders; see the above reference for details.
