pkgnet: Build a network based on package availability matrix

In mbojan/cranet: Build and Analyze Network of R Packages

Description

Given the matrix as returned by available.packages construct a graph, of class igraph of inter-package relations.

Usage

pkgnet(object, ...)

## Default S3 method:
pkgnet(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'character'
pkgnet(object, ap_args = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'matrix'
pkgnet(object, enams = c("Depends", "Suggests", "Imports",
  "Enhances", "LinkingTo"), vnams = c("Version", "Priority", "License",
  "License_is_FOSS", "License_restricts_use", "OS_type", "Archs", "MD5sum",
  "NeedsCompilation", "File", "Repository"), ...)

Arguments

object	a matrix as returned by available.packages or a character scalar, one of "cran" or "bioc" to fetch and process packages available on CRAN or on Bioconductor, or an URL to a CRAN-like repository.
...	arguments passed to/from other methods
ap_args	NULL or list of arguments passed to available.packages
enams	character, names of columns of a that are to be used as edge attributes
vnams	character, names of columns of a that are to be used as vertex attributes

Details

The resulting graph (object of class igraph) is a multigraph: there can be multiple relationships between any given pair of vertices. Different types of relations can be disentagled using edge attribute called type. It stores the type of relation as provided with enams argument.

Value

Object of class igraph.
