## Create multiplex graphs from individual networks

### Description

`create.multiplex` is a function to create a multiplex network (`Multiplex` object) from a list of individual networks defined as `igraph` objects. See more details about multiplex networks below. If just one network is provided, a Multiplex object with one layer is therefore created (A monoplex network).

### Usage

    create.multiplex(...)

    ## Default S3 method:
    create.multiplex(LayersList, ...)

### Arguments

`...` | Further arguments passed to `create.multiplex`
`LayersList` | A list containing igraph objects describing monoplex networks in every element. We recommend to give names to the different networks (igraph objects).

### Details

A multiplex network is a collection of layers (monoplex networks) sharing the same nodes, but in which the edges represent relationships of different nature. At least a list with one element, an igraph object, should be provided.

### Value

A Multiplex object. It contains a list of the different graphs integrating the multiplex network, the names and number of its nodes and the number of layers.
