setNodeLineColor (networkvisualizer)

Set the line colors of nodes for a networkvisualizer object.

Syntax

net = setNodeLineColor(net, RGB)
net = setNodeLineColor(net, values)
net = setNodeLineColor(net, values, categories)
net = setNodeLineColor(net, values, categories, classname)

Arguments

• net: Networkvisualizer object created with function networkvisualizer.
• RGB: A RGB triplet specifying the line color of all nodes.
• values: A vector of RGB triplets or a cell array containing the node line colors to be set.
• categories: A vector specifying the class categories which the modifications will apply.
• classname: A string that specifies which node class the given categories correspond to.

Description

• net = setNodeLineColor(net, RGB) sets the line color of all nodes to RGB.
• net = setNodeLineColor(net, values) sets the line colors of every node i to the color provided in values(i, :). Thus, the values should be a matrix of size n x 3 where n is equal to the number of nodes.
• net = setNodeLineColor(net, values, categories) uses the node class categories in categories to specify which nodes to be resized. For example, setNodeLineColor(net, {[1 0 0], [0 0 1]}, {'A', 'B'}) sets the line colors of nodes with category 'A' to red and nodes with category 'B' to blue. This type of specification allows conditional formatting of nodes with respect to the categories provided. By default, it is assumed that the categories correspond to the first node class added by the addNodeClass function.
• net = setNodeLineColor(net, values, categories, classname) uses the node class with name classname for the provided categories.

Examples

Setting the node line colors randomly

%% Run networkvisualizer on a random network
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];
net = networkvisualizer(W);
net.setNodeLineWidth(5);
% Set the node line colors randomly to one of default colors
defaultcolors = net.getDefaultColors();
colors = defaultcolors(randi([1 3], length(W), 1), :);
net.setNodeLineColor(colors);
% Plot the network
plot(net);

which produces:
