Re: [igraph] making random graphs from matrices

[Tamas Nepusz]

Dear Robin,

Assuming that your square matrix of probabilities is given in a matrix p,
you can do this:

> p <- matrix(c(0,0.5,0.5,0.5, 0.5,0,0.5,0.5, 0,0,0,0, 1,0,1,0), nrow=4)
> r <- matrix(runif(nrow(p)*ncol(p)), nrow=nrow(p))
> g <- graph.adjacency(r < p, mode="undirected")

-- 
T.
