I've created a graph with DiagrammeR by first setting up a basic graph and then adding nodes and edges. I've set up the edge color attribute in the edge_attrs() inside create_graph().
If I add a new edge without the color attribute it uses, as expected, the pre-defined colour. However, if I delete one of the edges with delete_edge() the general edge attribute color disappears for all edges. Since the graph$edges_df doesn't include any color information the graph defaults to black.
Is there a way to add the colour of the edge to graph$edges_df when using add_node()?
The only way I've thought would work is to add the node without the edge and then add the edge individually with add_edge().
Here a reproducible example:
library(DiagrammeR)
library(magrittr)
nodes <-
create_nodes(
nodes = "a",
label = "A",
type = "lower",
style = "filled",
shape = "circle",
color = "orange",
x = 5,
y = 4
)
graph_1 <-
create_graph(
nodes_df = nodes,
graph_attrs = c(
"layout = neato"
),
edge_attrs = c(
"relationship = requires",
"arrowhead = normal",
"color = 'lightgrey'"
)
)
render_graph(graph_1)
graph_1 %>%
add_node(
node = "b",
from = "a",
label = "B",
style = "filled",
shape = "circle",
color = "orange",
x = 5,
y = 3
) ->
graph_2
render_graph(graph_2)
new_edges <- create_edges(
from = "a",
to = "a"
)
graph_2 %>%
add_edges(
edges_df = new_edges
) ->
graph_3
render_graph(graph_3)
graph_3 %>%
delete_edge(
to = "a",
from = "a"
) ->
graph_4
render_graph(graph_4)
This is the best solution I've found. Simply ignoring the general attributes and relying on edges_df.
library(DiagrammeR)
library(magrittr)
nodes <-
create_nodes(
nodes = "a",
label = "A",
type = "lower",
style = "filled",
shape = "circle",
color = "orange",
x = 5,
y = 4
)
graph_1 <-
create_graph(
nodes_df = nodes,
graph_attrs = c(
"layout = neato"
)
)
render_graph(graph_1)
graph_1 %>%
add_node(
node = "b",
label = "B",
style = "filled",
shape = "circle",
color = "orange",
x = 5,
y = 3
) %>%
add_edges(
edges_df = create_edges(
from = "a",
to = "b",
color = "lightgrey"
)
) ->
graph_2
render_graph(graph_2)
graph_2 %>%
add_edges(
edges_df = create_edges(
from = "a",
to = "a",
color = "lightgrey"
)
) ->
graph_3
render_graph(graph_3)
graph_3 %>%
delete_edge(
to = "b",
from = "a"
) ->
graph_4
render_graph(graph_4)
Edit: I've now looked at the code from rich-iannone for delete_edge(). It basically re-builds the graph based on the original edges_df, nodes_df, directed and graph_attrs but it does not include the node_attrs or the edge_attrs, therefore they go back to the default. The easy solution is to build a new function that takes that into consideration, but I ignore if there would be conflicts with create_graph.
