addEdgeClass (networkvisualizer)

Adds a new edge class for a networkvisualizer object.

Syntax

net = addEdgeClass(net, categories, classname)

Arguments

• net: Networkvisualizer object created with function networkvisualizer.
• categories: A vector specifying the class categories for each edge
• classname: A string that specifies the name of the new class to be added

Description

• net = addEdgeClass(net, categories, classname) adds a new class named classname to the network, setting the category of each edge i to categories(i). The added class can be used to specify the edges while setting up various edge properties such as Line Width and Edge Colors. Note that, the edge categories should be listed in the exact same order as they appear in net.EdgeList or net.Edges.

Examples

Adding an edge class

rng(1, 'twister'); % For reproducibility
W = [0 1 1 0 0;1 0 0 1 1;1 0 0 0 0;0 0 0 0 1;1 0 1 0 0];
labels ={'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'}';
net = networkvisualizer(W);
% Add a randomized edge category having 1, 2 and 3 as values
edge_categories = randi([1 3], length(net.Edges), 1);
net.addEdgeClass(edge_categories, 'EdgeCategory');
% Set the edge colors and line widths based on the edge category
net.setEdgeColors([0 0 1; 0 0 0], [2; 3], 'EdgeCategory');
net.setEdgeLineWidth({1.5, 5, 3.5}, {1, 2, 3}, 'EdgeCategory');
plot(net);
