Write files to be used for visualization with BrainNet Viewer

Description

Write the .node and .edge files necessary for visualization with the BrainNet Viewer software.

Usage

write_brainnet(g, vcolor = "none", vsize = "constant",
  edge.wt = NULL, file.prefix = "")

Arguments

g	The igraph graph object of interest
vcolor	Character string indicating how to color the vertices (default: 'none')
vsize	Character string indicating what size the vertices should be; can be any vertex-level attribute (default: 'constant')
edge.wt	Character string indicating the edge attribute to use to return a weighted adjacency matrix (default: NULL)
file.prefix	Character string for the basename of the .node and .edge files that are written

Details

For the .node file, there are 6 columns:

• Columns 1-3: Vertex x-, y-, and z-coordinates

• Column 4: Vertex color

• Column 5: Vertex size

• Column 6: Vertex label

The .edge file is the graph's associated adjacency matrix; a weighted adjacency matrix can be returned by using the edge.wt argument.
