Randomly place vertices on a plane or in 3d space

Source: R/layout.R
layout_randomly.Rd

This function uniformly randomly places the vertices of the graph in two or three dimensions.

Usage

layout_randomly(graph, dim = 2)

randomly(...)

Arguments

graph

The input graph.

dim

Integer scalar, the dimension of the space to use. It must be 2 or 3.

...

Parameters to pass to layout_randomly().

Value

A numeric matrix with two or three columns.

Details

Randomly places vertices on a [-1,1] square (in 2d) or in a cube (in 3d). It is probably a useless layout, but it can use as a starting point for other layout generators.
