ugraph: Underlying Graph

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Description

For a directed graph the underlying graph is the graph that is constructed where all edge orientation is ignored. This function carries out such a transformation on graphNEL instances.

Usage

1
ugraph(graph)

Arguments

graph

a graph object.

Details

If graph is already undirected then it is simply returned.

If graph is a multi-graph (has multiple edges) an error is thrown as it is unclear how to compute the underlying graph in that context.

The method will work for any graph subclass for which an edgeMatrix method exists.

Value

An instance of graphNEL with the same nodes as the input but which is undirected.
