join_edge_attrs {DiagrammeR} | R Documentation |
Join new edge attribute values in a left join using a data frame. The use of a left join in this function allows for no possibility that edges in the graph might be removed after the join.
join_edge_attrs(graph, df, by_graph = NULL, by_df = NULL)

optional specification of the column

join. If both |
