Re: [igraph] Plotting an ancestral graph

[Alexander Savi]

Thank you Tamas and Gábor for your quick responses, it was very helpful.

Given the information below, is it possible to single out the number in front of the arrow and the number behind the arrow? In the example below, for E(g3)[0], I need the numbers 1 (in front of the arrow) and 2 (behind the arrow) to use in a loop. I've been puzzling a lot, but I haven't been able to 'get' those number out of the rest of the information. So I need a command that gives me back for instance the number in front of the arrow. I hope my question is clear.

> E(g3)
Edge sequence:
          
[0] 1 -> 2
[1] 1 -> 4
[2] 2 -> 1
[3] 2 -> 5
[4] 3 -> 4
[5] 4 -> 5

Thanks,


Alexander

Well, you're right that an igraph graph can either be directed or
undirected, and a directed graph contains directed edges only. However,
you can *suppress* the arrows of a directed edge on the plot by using
the arrow.mode attribute. arrow.mode can take one of three values:

- 0: no arrowheads are plotted
- 1: an arrowhead pointing to the *source* of the edge is plotted
- 2: an arrowhead pointing to the *target* of the edge is plotted
- 3: both arrowheads are plotted

So, if you want to suppress the arrowheads on some of the edges, you can
do this:

> E(g)$arrow.mode <- 2
> undirected_edge_idxs <- c(0, 2, 7)
> E(g)[undirected_edge_idxs]$arrow.mode <- 0
> plot(g)
