layout4bipartite {svs}

Create a Layout Matrix for a Bipartite Graph

Description

A helper function for creating a layout matrix for a bipartite graph, based on the dimensions of its biadjacency matrix.

Usage

layout4bipartite(nrow, ncol, rowsLeft = TRUE)

layout4diagram(nrow, ncol, rowsLeft = TRUE)

Arguments

nrow

Numeric specifying the number of rows of the biadjacency matrix.

ncol

Numeric specifying the number of columns of the biadjacency matrix.

rowsLeft

Logical specifying whether the rows of the biadjacency matrix should appear to the left of the columns.

Details

This is essentially an alternative for layout_as_bipartite() from the igraph package. Bipartite graphs are typically represented by a biadjacency matrix, the dimensions of which can be used for constructing the layout. In addition, the coordinates for the vertices are somewhat different from those in igraph.

Value

A matrix.
