connectiongraph {heR.Simulation}R Documentation

Plot directed graph of house connections

Description

Plot the connections in a multi-room dwelling as a network of nodes (i.e. rooms, the outdoors, and the central ventilation system) – with line segments connecting nodes between which air is allowed to move.

Usage

connectiongraph(conn, by = "lwd", labels = NULL, node.cols = NULL,
                circle.max = 0.12, lwd.min = 2, labels.out = TRUE,
                label.cex = 2, ...)

Arguments

conn a connections object containing information on house zone connections. See sim.connections.
by a character vector containing lwd if connection levels are distinguished by different line (edge) widths, or col if they are distinguished by different colors
labels text labels to be drawn at each node
node.cols colors for nodes
circle.max the maximum radius of node circles
lwd.min the minimum thickness of edge line widths
labels.out logical, whether to draw labels just outside each node or not
label.cex the magnification level for text labels
... addition arguments to the gplot2 function

Details

Requires a connections object as input, which is produced by the sim.connections function. See that function for information on the specification of house connections.

Connection levels are depicted by segments of different thickness or by different colors depending on the value of by, i.e., if it contains lwd or col.

Value

Invoked for the purpose of plotting a directed graph
