rescale_node_attrs {DiagrammeR}

Rescale numeric node attribute values

Description

From a graph object of class dgr_graph, take a set of numeric values for a node attribute, rescale to a new numeric or color range, then write to the same node attribute or to a new node attribute column.

Usage

rescale_node_attrs(
  graph,
  node_attr_from,
  to_lower_bound = 0,
  to_upper_bound = 1,
  node_attr_to = NULL,
  from_lower_bound = NULL,
  from_upper_bound = NULL
)

Arguments

graph

A graph object of class dgr_graph.

node_attr_from

The node attribute containing numeric data that is to be rescaled to new numeric or color values.

to_lower_bound

The lower bound value for the set of rescaled values. This can be a numeric value or an X11 color name.

to_upper_bound

The upper bound value for the set of rescaled values. This can be a numeric value or an X11 color name.

node_attr_to

An optional name of a new node attribute to which the recoded values will be applied. This will retain the original node attribute and its values.

from_lower_bound

An optional, manually set lower bound value for the rescaled values. If not set, the minimum value from the set will be used.

from_upper_bound

An optional, manually set upper bound value for the rescaled values. If not set, the minimum value from the set will be used.

Value

A graph object of class dgr_graph.
