Reorder Nodes in a Network in enaR

Reorders nodes in a network either through a user defined node order vector or by default places the non-living nodes to the end of the node vector, minimizing the order change for other nodes.

Usage

netOrder(x = "network object", order = 0)

Arguments

x: A network object. This includes all weighted flows into and out of each node.
order: An integer vector of length N, where N is number of nodes in x, specifying the new order of the nodes (by default order = 0, which indicates moving non-living nodes to the end)

Value

Returns a network object with nodes ordered as per the node order vector or without the node order vector, by default moves the non-living nodes to the end of the node vector, minimizing the order change for other nodes.

Details

The node order vector "order" must be of length equal to the number of nodes in x (i.e. N) and must contain all integers from 1 to N. This function can be used with default conditions (i.e. without "order" vector) to reorder the nodes of a network which does not have non-living nodes placed at the end so that the Trophic Aggregations analysis (enaTroAgg) can be run on the reordered model.

Examples


data(troModels)
new.network <- netOrder(troModels[[6]], c(1, 3, 2, 5, 4))
# new.network is the required rearranged network with nodes in the desired order.
