Re: [igraph] Graphml nodal attributes

[Vincent Labatut]

hello tamas,

i'm using the R interface, and the attributes are of various types (real, string, integer, boolean).

in the graphml file, igraph seems to preserve the data types...

except the boolean attributes don't appear at all, which i didn't notice before you mentioned types.

i've just converted them to integer before exporting the network, and now it works fine

thanks for your quick and helpful answer,

vincent

Hello,

No, there isn't any limit on the number of attributes you can put there but 
there is a limit on the *types* of those attributes. It depends on what 
interface you are using. In Python, numeric and string attributes are kept and 
every other data type is implicitly converted to a string. R might behave 
differently, but you should be able to store numbers and strings for sure.
