These functions add some format to manynet-consistent data.

  • to_directed() reformats undirected network data to a directed network.

  • to_redirected() reformats the direction of directed network data, flipping any existing direction.

  • to_reciprocated() reformats directed network data such that every directed tie is reciprocated.

  • to_acyclic() reformats network data to an acyclic graph.

  • to_named() reformats unlabelled network data to labelled network data from a vector of names or random baby names.

  • to_signed() reformats unsigned network data to signed network data with signs from a mark vector or at random.

If the format condition is not met, for example to_undirected() is used on a network that is already undirected, the network data is returned unaltered. No warning is given so that these functions can be used to ensure conformance.

Unlike the as_*() group of functions, these functions always return the same class as they are given, only transforming these objects' properties.

to_named(.data, names = NULL)

to_signed(.data, mark = NULL)

to_weighted(.data, measure = NULL)

Arguments

.data

An object of a manynet-consistent class:

  • matrix (adjacency or incidence) from {base} R

  • edgelist, a data frame from {base} R or tibble from {tibble}

  • igraph, from the {igraph} package

  • network, from the {network} package

  • tbl_graph, from the {tidygraph} package

names

Character vector of the node names. NULL by default.

mark

A mark (logical vector) the length of the ties in the network.

measure

A numeric vector (measure) that will be added as the tie weights to the network. If this is NULL, then the tie weights will be drawn from a Poisson distribution with \(\lambda = 4\).

Value

All to_ functions return an object of the same class as that provided. So passing it an igraph object will return an igraph object and passing it a network object will return a network object, with certain modifications as outlined for each function.
