tsort

topological sort of vertices of a digraph


Description

returns vector of zero-based indices of vertices of a DAG in topological sort order

Usage

tsort(x) # now x assumed to be Bioconductor graph graphNEL

Arguments

x

instance of class graphNEL from Bioconductor graph class

Details

calls to the topological\_sort algorithm of BGL. will check in BGL whether the input is a DAG and return a vector of zeroes (of length length(nodes(x))) if it is not. Thus this function can be used to check for cycles in a digraph.

Value

A character vector of vertices in the topological sort sequence.

Examples

data(FileDep)
 tsind <- tsort(FileDep)
 tsind
 FD2 <- FileDep
 # now introduce a cycle
 FD2 <- addEdge("bar_o", "dax_h", FD2, 1)
 tsort(FD2)
