| contract.vertices {igraph} | R Documentation |
This function creates a new graph, by merging several vertices into one. The vertices in the new graph correspond to sets of vertices in the input graph.
contract.vertices(graph, mapping,
vertex.attr.comb=getIgraphOpt("vertex.attr.comb"))
graph |
The input graph, it can be directed or undirected. |
mapping |
A numeric vector that specifies the mapping. Its elements correspond to the vertices, and for each element the id in the new graph is given. |
vertex.attr.comb |
Specifies how to combine the vertex attributes
in the new graph. Please see |
The attributes of the graph are kept. Graph and edge attributes are
unchanged, vertex attributes are combined, according to the
vertex.attr.comb parameter.
A new graph object.
