Set the state of nodes/edges/combos in a g6 graph via proxy — g6_set_nodes • g6R

This function sets the state of one or more nodes/edges/combos to an existing g6 graph instance using a proxy object. This allows updating the graph without completely re-rendering it. Valid states are "selected", "active", "inactive", "disabled", or "highlight".

Usage

g6_set_nodes(graph, nodes)

g6_set_edges(graph, edges)

g6_set_combos(graph, combos)

g6_set_data(graph, data)

Arguments

graph: A g6_proxy object created with g6_proxy.
nodes: A key value pair list with the node id and its state.
edges: A key value pair list with the edge id and its state.
combos: A key value pair list with the combo id and its state.
data: A nested list containing all nodes, edges and combo data. Alternatively you can use g6_data to generate compatible data.

Value

The g6_proxy object (invisibly), allowing for method chaining.

Details

g6_set_data allows to set all graph data at once (nodes, edges and combos).

This function can only be used with a g6_proxy object within a Shiny application. It will not work with regular g6 objects outside of Shiny.

If a node with the same ID already exists, it will not be added again. See https://g6.antv.antgroup.com/en/api/element#graphsetelementstateid-state-options for more details.
