Contract several vertices into a single one
This function creates a new graph, by merging several vertices into one. The vertices in the new graph correspond to sets of vertices in the input graph.
contract(graph, mapping, vertex.attr.comb = igraph_opt("vertex.attr.comb"))graph |
The input graph, it can be directed or undirected. |
mapping |
A numeric vector that specifies the mapping. Its elements correspond to the vertices, and for each element the id in the new graph is given. |
vertex.attr.comb |
Specifies how to combine the vertex attributes in
the new graph. Please see |
The attributes of the graph are kept. Graph and edge attributes are
unchanged, vertex attributes are combined, according to the
vertex.attr.comb parameter.
A new graph object.

g <- make_ring(10)
g$name <- "Ring"
V(g)$name <- letters[1:vcount(g)]
E(g)$weight <- runif(ecount(g))
g2 <- contract(g, rep(1:5, each=2),
vertex.attr.comb=toString)
## graph and edge attributes are kept, vertex attributes are
## combined using the 'toString' function.
print(g2, g=TRUE, v=TRUE, e=TRUE)Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
