Re: [igraph] from Infomap tree output to communities object

[Tamas Nepusz]

Hi,

I'm not that familar with R, but it seems that igraph has a
"make_clusters()" function in R that allows you to construct a
"communities" object from a graph and a membership vector where the
i-th element of the membership vector is simply the community index of
vertex i. So, if you can convert the output to a single R vector, the
rest should be easy.

Alternatively, make_clusters() can also take a "merge matrix" for
hierarchical community detection algorithms. A merge matrix is a
matrix with 2 columns and N rows and each row describes the merge of
two communities into a larger one. The initial vertices of the graph
are identified by integers 1..|V| in the matrix; then the community
that is created by the first merge is identified by |V|+1, the
community created by the second merge is identified by |V|+2 and so
on.

T.
