Researchers may want to save or work with networks outside R. The following functions offer ways to export to some common external file formats:
write_matrix() exports an adjacency matrix to a .csv file.
write_edgelist() exports an edgelist to a .csv file.
write_nodelist() exports a nodelist to a .csv file.
write_pajek() exports Pajek .net files.
write_ucinet() exports a pair of UCINET files in V6404 file format (.##h, .##d).
write_graphml() exports GraphML files.
write_matrix(.data, filename, ...)
write_edgelist(.data, filename, ...)
write_nodelist(.data, filename, ...)
write_pajek(.data, filename, ...)
write_ucinet(.data, filename, name)
write_graphml(.data, filename, ...)write_ucinet() kindly supplied by Christian Steglich,
constructed on 18 June 2015.
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
Character string filename. If missing, the files will have the same name as the object and be saved to the working directory. An appropriate extension will be added if not included.
Additional parameters passed to the write function.
Character string to name the network internally, e.g. in UCINET. By default the name will be the same as the object.
The write_functions export to different file formats,
depending on the function.
A pair of UCINET files in V6404 file format (.##h, .##d)
Note that these functions are not as actively maintained as others in the package, so please let us know if any are not currently working for you or if there are missing import routines by raising an issue on Github.
