add.isolates {sna} | R Documentation

## Add Isolates to a Graph

### Description

Adds `n` isolates to the graph (or graphs) in `dat`.

### Usage

    add.isolates(dat, n)

### Arguments

`dat` | one or more input graphs.
`n` | the number of isolates to add.

### Details

If `dat` contains more than one graph, the `n` isolates are added to each member of `dat`.

### Value

The updated graph(s).

### Note

Isolate addition is particularly useful when computing structural distances between graphs of different orders; see the above reference for details.

    dim(g)                  #Get the dimensions of g

    g<-add.isolates(g,2)    #Add 2 isolates to each graph in g

    dim(g)                  #Now examine g
    g
