Print graphs to the terminal
These functions attempt to print a graph to the terminal in a human readable form.
## S3 method for class 'igraph' print( x, full = igraph_opt("print.full"), graph.attributes = igraph_opt("print.graph.attributes"), vertex.attributes = igraph_opt("print.vertex.attributes"), edge.attributes = igraph_opt("print.edge.attributes"), names = TRUE, max.lines = igraph_opt("auto.print.lines"), ... ) ## S3 method for class 'igraph' summary(object, ...)
x |
The graph to print. |
full |
Logical scalar, whether to print the graph structure itself as well. |
graph.attributes |
Logical constant, whether to print graph attributes. |
vertex.attributes |
Logical constant, whether to print vertex attributes. |
edge.attributes |
Logical constant, whether to print edge attributes. |
names |
Logical constant, whether to print symbolic vertex names (ie.
the |
max.lines |
The maximum number of lines to use. The rest of the output will be truncated. |
... |
Additional agruments. |
object |
The graph of which the summary will be printed. |
summary.igraph
prints the number of vertices, edges and whether the
graph is directed.
print_all
prints the same information, and also lists the edges, and
optionally graph, vertex and/or edge attributes.
print.igraph
behaves either as summary.igraph
or
print_all
depending on the full
argument. See also the
‘print.full’ igraph option and igraph_opt
.
The graph summary printed by summary.igraph
(and print.igraph
and print_all
) consists one or more lines. The first line contains
the basic properties of the graph, and the rest contains its attributes.
Here is an example, a small star graph with weighted directed edges and named
vertices:
IGRAPH badcafe DNW- 10 9 -- In-star + attr: name (g/c), mode (g/c), center (g/n), name (v/c), weight (e/n)
The first line always
starts with IGRAPH
, showing you that the object is an igraph graph.
Then a seven character code is printed, this the first seven characters
of the unique id of the graph. See graph_id
for more.
Then a four letter long code string is printed. The first letter
distinguishes between directed (‘D
’) and undirected
(‘U
’) graphs. The second letter is ‘N
’ for named
graphs, i.e. graphs with the name
vertex attribute set. The third
letter is ‘W
’ for weighted graphs, i.e. graphs with the
weight
edge attribute set. The fourth letter is ‘B
’ for
bipartite graphs, i.e. for graphs with the type
vertex attribute set.
Then, after two dashes, the name of the graph is printed, if it has one,
i.e. if the name
graph attribute is set.
From the second line, the attributes of the graph are listed, separated by a
comma. After the attribute names, the kind of the attribute – graph
(‘g
’), vertex (‘v
’) or edge (‘e
’)
– is denoted, and the type of the attribute as well, character
(‘c
’), numeric (‘n
’), logical
(‘l
’), or other (‘x
’).
As of igraph 0.4 print_all
and print.igraph
use the
max.print
option, see options
for details.
As of igraph 1.1.1, the str.igraph
function is defunct, use
print_all()
.
All these functions return the graph invisibly.
