buildPkgDependencyIgraph: Work with package dependencies as a graph

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

Description

Package dependencies represent a directed graph (though Bioconductor dependencies are not an acyclic graph). This function simply returns an igraph graph from the package dependency data frame from a call to buildPkgDependencyDataFrame or any tidy data frame with rows of (Package, dependency) pairs. Additional columns are added as igraph edge attributes (see graph_from_data_frame).

Usage

1

Arguments

pkgDepDF

a tidy data frame. See description for details.

Value

an igraph directed graph. See the igraph package for details of what can be done.
