getdescendants (biograph)

Find descendants in a biograph object

Syntax

Nodes = getdescendants(BiographNode)
Nodes = getdescendants(BiographNode, NumGenerations)

Arguments

Description

Nodes = getdescendants(BiographNode) finds a given node (BiographNode) all of its direct descendants.

Nodes = getdescendants(BiographNode, NumGenerations) finds the node (BiographNode) and all of its direct descendants up to a specified number of generations (NumGenerations).

Examples

1. Create a biograph object.

   cm = [0 1 1 0 0;1 0 0 1 1;1 0 0 0 0;0 0 0 0 1;1 0 1 0 0];
   bg = biograph(cm)

2. Find one generation of descendants for node 4.

   desNodes = getdescendants(bg.nodes(4));
   set(desNodes,'Color',[1 .7 .7]);
   bg.view;

   

3. Find two generations of descendants for node 4.

   desNodes = getdescendants(bg.nodes(4),2);
   set(desNodes,'Color',[.7 1 .7]);
   bg.view;
