graph.netWalkSnapShot {CTD}

Capture the current location of a network walker

Description

A network walker steps towards the node that inherited the highest probability from the last node that it stepped into.

Usage

graph.netWalkSnapShot(adj_mat,G,output_dir,p1,visitedNodes,S,
                                coords,imgNum=1,useLabels=TRUE)

Arguments

adj_mat

- The adjacency matrix that encodes the edge weights for the network, G.

G

- A list of probabilities, with names of the list being the node names in the network.

output_dir

- The local directory at which you want still PNG images to be saved.

p1

- The probability being dispersed from the starting node, startNode, which is preferentially distributed between network nodes by the probability diffusion algorithm based solely on network connectivity.

visitedNodes

- A character vector of node names, storing the history of previous draws in the node ranking.

S

- A character vector of node names in the subset you want the network walker to find.

coords

- The x and y coordinates for each node in the network, to remain static between images.

imgNum

- The image number for this snapshot. If images are being generated in a sequence, this serves as an iterator for file naming.

useLabels

- If TRUE, node names will display next to their respective nodes in the network. If FALSE, node names will not display.

Value

0
