Details

The primary use-case for this method is to force some other S3 method (like simulate in the tergm package, plot, or print) to use 'network' instead of 'networkDynamic' in method dispatching. Dynamic features data structures be left intact but not recognized by corresponding methods, so effectively broken.

Examples

test<-network.initialize(2)
add.edges.active(test,tail=1,head=2,onset=1,terminus=2)
