getedgesbynodeid (biograph)

Get handles to edges in biograph object

Syntax

Edges = getedgesbynodeid(BGobj,SourceIDs,SinkIDs)

Arguments

BGobj

Biograph object.

SourceIDs, SinkIDs

Enter a character vector, cell array of character vectors, or an empty cell array (gets all edges).

Description

Edges = getedgesbynodeid(BGobj,SourceIDs,SinkIDs) gets the handles to the edges that connect the specified source nodes (SourceIDs) to the specified sink nodes (SinkIDs) in a biograph object.

Examples

  1. Create a biograph object for the Hominidae family.

    species = {'Homo','Pan','Gorilla','Pongo','Baboon',...
               'Macaca','Gibbon'};
    cm = magic(7)>25 & 1-eye(7);
    bg = biograph(cm, species);
    
  2. Find all the edges that connect to the Homo node.

    EdgesIn = getedgesbynodeid(bg,[],'Homo');
    EdgesOut = getedgesbynodeid(bg,'Homo',[]);
    set(EdgesIn,'LineColor',[0 1 0]);
    set(EdgesOut,'LineColor',[1 0 0]);
    bg.view;
    
  3. Find all edges that connect members of the Cercopithecidae family to members of the Hominidae family.

    Cercopithecidae = {'Macaca','Baboon'};
    Hominidae = {'Homo','Pan','Gorilla','Pongo'};
    edgesSel = getedgesbynodeid(bg,Cercopithecidae,Hominidae);
    set(bg.edges,'LineColor',[.5 .5 .5]);
    set(edgesSel,'LineColor',[0 0 1]);
    bg.view;
