Well, I'm working with the igraph
package, and I'd like to pick the edges by the name that I've assigned to their vertex, in a tiny example..
library(igraph)
g <- barabasi.game(8)
labels<-c("G1","G2","G3","T1","T2","T3","H1","H2")
V(g)$name<-labels
Now My edge list hast this form
> E(g)
Edge sequence:
[0] G2 -> G1
[1] G3 -> G2
[2] T1 -> G2
[3] T2 -> G3
[4] T3 -> G1
[5] H1 -> G1
[6] H2 -> H1
What i want now is to find a way of, instead of using this
E(g)[1%--%2]
doing something more like E(g)[G2%--%G1] (calling the vertex by the name i've assigned), or an equivalent way of knowing some edges attributes by the name of the vertex involved.
