Reorder the Nodes of a Network

Changes the order in which the nodes are stored, which is the order in which plotting functions place them. The edges and their weights are unchanged.

Usage

reorder_nodes(x, order, keep_format = FALSE, directed = NULL)

Arguments

x

Network input.

order

Node labels or indices, in the wanted order, or one of "label", "degree" or "strength". "label" sorts alphabetically, and the two measures sort in decreasing order. A vector that does not name every node exactly once raises a cograph_bad_selection error.

keep_format

Logical. If TRUE, a matrix, igraph, statnet network or tna input is returned in its own format. An edge-list data frame or a qgraph object is returned as a cograph_network with a cograph_no_format_roundtrip warning. Default FALSE returns a cograph_network.

directed

Logical or NULL. Directedness used to read the input. NULL (default) detects it from the input.

Value

A cograph_network with the nodes in the requested order and edge indices remapped, or the input format when keep_format = TRUE.

Examples

reorder_nodes(regulation_net, order = "degree")
#> Cograph network: 10 nodes, 30 edges ( directed )
#> Source: matrix 
#>   Nodes (10): Monitor, Plan, Create, Explore, Adapt, Reflect, ... +4 more
#>   Edges: 30 / 90 (density: 33.3%)
#>   Weights: [0.050, 0.490]  |  mean: 0.265
#>   Strongest edges:
#>     Share -> Monitor  0.490
#>     Plan -> Evaluate  0.490
#>     Evaluate -> Adapt  0.430
#>     Synthesize -> Reflect  0.420
#>     Plan -> Discuss  0.400
#> Layout: none 
#>   Use as.data.frame() for the edge table, as.data.frame(what = "nodes") for the nodes.
