layout_as_star {igraph} | R Documentation

## Generate coordinates to place the vertices of a graph in a star-shape

### Description

A simple layout generator, that places one vertex in the center of a circle and the rest of the vertices equidistantly on the perimeter.

### Usage

    layout_as_star(graph, center = V(graph)[1], order = NULL)

    as_star(...)

### Arguments

`graph` | The graph to layout.
`center` | The id of the vertex to put in the center. By default it is the first vertex.
`order` | Numeric vector, the order of the vertices along the perimeter. The default ordering is given by the vertex ids.
`...` | Arguments to pass to `layout_as_star`.

### Details

It is possible to choose the vertex that will be in the center, and the order of the vertices can be also given.

### Value

A matrix with two columns and as many rows as the number of vertices in the input graph.
