Details

DL format is used by a number of software packages (including UCINET and Pajek) to store network data. write.dl saves one or more (possibly valued) graphs in DL edgelist format, along with vertex and graph labels (if desired). These files can, in turn, be used to import data into other software packages.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
#Generate a random graph stack
g<-rgraph(5,10)

#This would save the graphs in DL format
write.dl(g,file="testfile.dl")
}
