Re: [igraph] two-mode network in igraph

[Simone Gabbriellini]

Tamas,

this is a much more simpler way! thanks a lot!

and all I have to do is something like:

V(g)$type<-ifelse(grep("thread",V(g)$name)==1, FALSE, TRUE)

to set the type attribute... I know that code doesn't work, still have to find 
a way, but I got the point

thanks,
simone
