Reorder Nodes in a Network in enaR

Description

Reorders nodes in a network either through a user defined node order vector or by default places the non-living nodes to the end of the node vector, minimizing the order change for other nodes.

Usage

netOrder(x = "network object", order = 0)

Arguments

x	A network object. This includes all weighted flows into and out of each node.
order	An integer vector of length N, where N is number of nodes in x, specifying the new order of the nodes (by default order = 0, which indicates moving non-living nodes to the end)

Details

The node order vector "order" must be of length equal to the number of nodes in x (i.e. N) and must contain all integers from 1 to N. This function can be used with default conditions (i.e. without "order" vector) to reorder the nodes of a network which does not have non-living nodes placed at the end so that the Trophic Aggregations analysis (enaTroAgg) can be run on the reordered model.

Value

Returns a network object with nodes ordered as per the node order vector or without the node order vector, by default moves the non-living nodes to the end of the node vector, minimizing the order change for other nodes.

Examples

data(troModels)
new.network <- netOrder(troModels[[6]], c(1, 3, 2, 5, 4))
# new.network is the required rearranged network with nodes in the desired order.
