subgraphByDegree {BiocPkgTools} | R Documentation

## Subset graph by degree

### Description

While the `inducedSubgraphByPkgs` returns the subgraph with the minimal connections between named packages, this function takes a vector of package names, a degree (1 or more) and returns the subgraph(s) that are within `degree` of the package named.

### Usage

    subgraphByDegree(g, pkg, degree = 1, ...)

### Arguments

`g` | an igraph graph, typically created by `buildPkgDependencyIgraph`
`pkg` | character(1) package name from which to measure degree.
`degree` | integer(1) degree, limit search for adjacent vertices to this degree.
`...` | passed on to `distances`

### Value

an igraph graph, with only nodes and their edges within degree of the named package

### Examples

    g = buildPkgDependencyIgraph(buildPkgDependencyDataFrame())
    g2 = subgraphByDegree(g, 'GEOquery')
    g2
