gt: Transpose an Input Graph

In sna: Tools for Social Network Analysis

Transpose an Input Graph

Description

gt returns the graph transpose of its input. For an adjacency matrix, this is the same as using t; however, this function is also applicable to sna edgelists (which cannot be transposed in the usual fashion). Code written using gt instead of t is thus guaranteed to be safe for either form of input.

Usage

gt(x, return.as.edgelist = FALSE)

Arguments

x	one or more graphs.
return.as.edgelist	logical; should the result be returned in sna edgelist form?

Details

The transpose of a (di)graph, G=(V,E), is the graph G=(V,E') where E'=\{(j,i): (i,j) \in E\}. This is simply the graph formed by reversing the sense of the edges.

Value

The transposed graph(s).

Examples

#Create a graph....
g<-rgraph(5)
g

#Transpose it
gt(g)
gt(g)==t(g)                  #For adjacency matrices, same as t(g)

#Now, see both versions in edgelist form
as.edgelist.sna(g)
gt(g,return.as.edgelist=TRUE)
