Simulation module dependency diagram

Create a network diagram illustrating the simplified module dependencies of a simulation. Offers a less detailed view of specific objects than does plotting the depsEdgeList directly with objectDiagram().

moduleDiagram(sim, type, showParents = TRUE, ...)

# S4 method for class 'simList,character,logical'
moduleDiagram(sim, type = "plot", showParents = TRUE, ...)

# S4 method for class 'simList,ANY,ANY'
moduleDiagram(sim, type, showParents = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

sim

A simList object (typically corresponding to a completed simulation).

type

Character string, either "rgl" for igraph::rglplot or "tk" for igraph::tkplot, "Plot" to use quickPlot::Plot() or "plot" to use base::plot(), the default.

showParents

Logical. If TRUE, then any children that are grouped into parent modules will be grouped together by coloured blobs. Internally, this is calling moduleGraph(). Default FALSE.

...

Additional arguments passed to plotting function specified by type.

Value

invoked for its side effect of plotting the module dependency diagram.

See also

igraph::igraph, moduleGraph() for a version that accounts for parent and children module structure.
