Re: [igraph] Multiplex networks: Edge type related metrics by node

[Gábor Csárdi]

Hi,

one solution is to use edge attributes to mark edge types. To
calculate metrics over some edge type you'll need to create a subgraph
that contains only those edges. This is easy and a linear operation.

Another solution is to have a separate network for each edge type.
