plot.igraph {igraph}R Documentation

Plotting of graphs

Description

plot.graph is able to plot graphs to any R device. It is the non-interactive companion of the tkplot function.

Usage

plot.igraph(x, axes=FALSE, xlab="", ylab="", add=FALSE,
      xlim=c(-1,1), ylim=c(-1,1), main="", sub="", ...)

Arguments

x The graph to plot.
axes Logical, whether to plot axes, defaults to FALSE.
xlab The label of the horizontal axis. Defaults to the empty string.
ylab The label of the vertical axis. Defaults to the empty string.
add Logical scalar, whether to add the plot to the current device, or delete the device's current contents first.
xlim The limits for the horizontal axis, it is unlikely that you want to modify this.
ylim The limits for the vertical axis, it is unlikely that you want to modify this.
main Main title.
sub Subtitle.
... Additional arguments, passed to plot.

Details

One convenient way to plot graphs is to plot with tkplot first, handtune the placement of the vertices, query the coordinates by the tkplot.getcoords function and use them with plot to plot the graph to any R device.

Value

Returns NULL, invisibly.
