Re: [igraph] starting with igraph

[Gábor Csárdi]

Hi Julie,

graph.data.frame() does not use this format, please read its manual
page about the format it expects. There is also an example in the
manual page. You will need to convert your data to this format to
create an igraph graph from it.

Best Regards,
Gabor
