Coerce a ResIN object to a tidygraph graph — as.tidygraph.ResIN • ResIN

Converts a ResIN object to a tidygraph::tbl_graph object while preserving as much node- and edge-level information as possible from x$ResIN_nodeframe and x$ResIN_edgelist.

Because tidygraph stores edge endpoints as integer node indices, the original edge endpoint labels are preserved in additional edge columns from_name and to_name.

If ResIN_nodeframe or ResIN_edgelist are unavailable, the method falls back to a simpler conversion via as.igraph() followed by tidygraph::as_tbl_graph(), which may not preserve all metadata.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'ResIN'
as.tidygraph(x, directed = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x: A ResIN object.
directed: Logical; should the resulting graph be treated as directed? Defaults to FALSE.
...: Ignored.

Value

A tidygraph::tbl_graph object. Node data include (when present) all columns from x$ResIN_nodeframe; edge data include (when present) all columns from x$ResIN_edgelist, plus from_name/to_name preserving original endpoint labels.

Examples

## Load toy data and estimate ResIN
data(lik_data)
res <- ResIN(lik_data, network_stats = TRUE, detect_clusters = TRUE,
             plot_ggplot = FALSE)

## Convert to tidygraph
tg <- as.tidygraph(res)

class(tg)
#> [1] "tbl_graph" "igraph"
