Reorder the Nodes of a Network

Changes the order the nodes are stored in, which is the order plotting functions lay them out in. The network itself is 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", "strength" to sort by. Sorting by a measure is descending.

keep_format

Logical. Return the input format when TRUE.

directed

Logical or NULL. If NULL (default), auto-detect.

Value

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

Examples

adj <- matrix(c(0, 1, 1, 1,
                1, 0, 1, 0,
                1, 1, 0, 0,
                1, 0, 0, 0), 4, 4, byrow = TRUE)
rownames(adj) <- colnames(adj) <- c("A", "B", "C", "D")

get_labels(reorder_nodes(adj, order = "degree"))
#> [1] "A" "B" "C" "D"
get_labels(reorder_nodes(adj, order = c("D", "C", "B", "A")))
#> [1] "D" "C" "B" "A"
