plot.NetworkSperical.startSet: Exploratory visualization of information spread of biological networks

Description

Global layout style:

A visualization of network in a 'star-like' form. An initial set of nodes are placed in the corner of polygons. The neighbors are then plotted above these nodes in an arc form. Whenever a node is encountered with multiple neighbors, neighbors are plotted in the direction of that node in an arc form. This process continues until all the nodes are placed. This gives a star-like view of the network.

Usage

"plot"(x, mo="in", nc=5, tkplot=FALSE,
v.lab=FALSE, v.size=2, bg="black", ...)

Arguments

x is a graph object created from an adjacency matrix or from a tabular data of two columns using graph() function available in igraph.

mo represents the mode of nodes. Options are in or out.

nc is a numeric value representing the total number of corners to be plotted, initially at the center position of a polygon.

tkplot

it is a boolean variable, if it is true, function will use 'tkplot' function to plot a graph, if it is false function will use plot function with the black background.

...

... parameter for other inputs.

v.lab

v.lab is a logical value to show vertex label.

v.size

v.size is a numeric value to assign the size of nodes.

bgis a color value to adjust background color of the plot.

Value

Plots the input graph object using tkplot function.
