igraph (version 1.3.5)

identical_graphs: Decide if two graphs are identical

Description

Two graphs are considered identical by this function if and only if they are represented in exactly the same way in the internal R representation. This means that the two graphs must have the same list of vertices and edges, in exactly the same order, with same directedness, and the two graphs must also have identical graph, vertex and edge attributes.

Usage

identical_graphs(g1, g2, attrs = TRUE)

Value

Logical scalar

Arguments

g1, g2

The two graphs

attrs

Whether to compare the attributes of the graphs

Details

This is similar to identical in the base package, but it ignores the mutable piece of igraph objects; those might be different even if the two graphs are identical.

Attribute comparison can be turned off with the attrs parameter if the attributes of the two graphs are allowed to be different.
