layers.multiplex: Extraction of the layers' dataframes
In Achab94/mplex: mplex

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

The function allows a user-friendly method for extracting the information about selected layers of the multiplex network.

1	layers.multiplex(obj, index = 1:length(obj$layers), label = FALSE)

`obj`	An object of class `multiplex`.
`index`	A vector of the layers' IDs selected for the extraction. By default, the vector contains the IDs of all the layers of the network.
`label`	`FALSE` by default. If `TRUE`, the function extracts only the labels of the selected layers.

A list with the layers' data.frame structures selected by the index argument.

create.multiplex

# Loading Aarhus CS Department dataset.

data(aarhus_mplex)

# Creating the multiplex object using the dataset loaded into aarhus_mplex object.

mplexObj <- create.multiplex(nodes = aarhus_mplex$nodes,
                            layersNames = aarhus_mplex$layerNames,
                            layer1 = aarhus_mplex$L1,
                            type1 = "undirected",
                            aarhus_mplex$L2,
                            aarhus_mplex$L3,
                            aarhus_mplex$L4,
                            aarhus_mplex$L5
                            )

# Extracting the edges of the layers (relationships):

layers.multiplex(mplexObj)

# Edges can be extracted even for some specific layers (for example, the
# second and third layers), selected with the 'index' argument:

layers.multiplex(mplexObj, index = c(2, 3))

# or, easily, referring to their names:

layers.multiplex(mplexObj, index = c("facebook", "coauthor"))

# The 'label' argument, if TRUE, returns the names/labels of the selected layers:

layers.multiplex(mplexObj, index = c(2, 4), label = TRUE)
