How to use igraph vertex.shape functionality

Question

Has anyone used the igraph function vertex.shape? This http://cneurocvs.rmki.kfki.hu/igraph/doc/R/igraph.vertex.shapes.html was promising, but I could not understand. Does anyone have an example of working code?

Answer 1

Vertices are just the nodes of your graph. When you draw them, you can use them as rectangles or circles or other shapes. Everything that you consider the most beautiful.

Start with an example at ?igraph.vertex.shapes .

 g <- graph.ring(10, dir=TRUE, mut=TRUE) plot(g, vertex.shape="rectangle", layout=layout.circle) 

vertex.shape values ​​for the vertex.shape argument are given

 names(igraph:::.igraph.shapes) [1] "circle" "square" "csquare" "rectangle" "crectangle" [6] "vrectangle" "none" 

See ?layout for permitted values ​​for the layout argument.
