hypergraph (version 1.44.0)

Hyperedge-class: Class Hyperedge

Description

A Hyperedge object represents a hyperedge in a hypergraph, that is, a subset of the nodes of a hypergraph.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("Hyperedge", nodes, label). You can also use the convenience function Hyperedge to create instances. This is especially useful for creating a list of Hyperedge instances using lapply.

Slots

head:

A vector of mode "character" containing the node labels that are a part of the hyperedge

label:

An arbitrary "character" string describing this hyperedge

Methods

initialize

signature(.Object = "Hyperedge"): Create an instance

label

signature(object = "Hyperedge"): Return the value of the label slot

label<-

signature(object = "Hyperedge", value = "character"): Set the label slot.

nodes

signature(object = "Hyperedge"): Return a vector containing the nodes in the hyperedge

show

signature(object = "Hyperedge"): Print a textual summary of the hyperedge

Examples

nodes <- LETTERS[1:4]
label <- "Simple hyperedge"
## Use the convenience constructor
he <- Hyperedge(nodes, label)
