Create a ring graph

A ring is a one-dimensional lattice and this function is a special case of make_lattice().

Usage

make_ring(n, directed = FALSE, mutual = FALSE, circular = TRUE)

ring(...)

Arguments

n

Number of vertices.

directed

Whether the graph is directed.

mutual

Whether directed edges are mutual. It is ignored in undirected graphs.

circular

Whether to create a circular ring. A non-circular ring is essentially a “line”: a tree where every non-leaf vertex has one child.

...

Passed to make_ring().

Value

An igraph graph.
