Traverse from one or more selected nodes onto adjacent edges
From a graph object of class dgr_graph move to adjacent edges from a
selection of one or more selected nodes, thereby creating a selection of
edges. An optional filter by edge attribute can limit the set of edges
traversed to.

| graph | A graph object of class  | 
| conditions | An option to use filtering conditions for the traversal. | 
| copy_attrs_from | Providing a node attribute name will copy those node attribute values to the traversed edges. If the edge attribute already exists, the values will be merged to the traversed edges; otherwise, a new edge attribute will be created. | 
| copy_attrs_as | If a node attribute name is provided in
 | 
| agg | If a node attribute is provided to  | 
This traversal function makes use of an active selection of nodes. After the traversal, depending on the traversal conditions, there will either be a selection of edges or no selection at all.
Selections of nodes can be performed using the following node selection
(select_*()) functions: select_nodes(), select_last_nodes_created(),
select_nodes_by_degree(), select_nodes_by_id(), or
select_nodes_in_neighborhood().
Selections of nodes can also be performed using the following traversal
(trav_*()) functions: trav_out(), trav_in(), trav_both(),
trav_out_node(), trav_in_node(), trav_out_until(), or
trav_in_until().
A graph object of class dgr_graph.
