\title{Helper function for adding and deleting vertices}
\usage{
vertex(...)

vertices(...)
}
\arguments{
\item{...}{See details below.}
}
\value{
A special object that can be used with together with
igraph graphs and the plus and minus operators.
}
\description{
This is a helper function that simplifies adding and deleting
vertices to/from graphs.
}
\details{
\code{vertices()} is an alias for \code{vertex()}.

When adding vertices via \code{+}, all unnamed arguments are interpreted
as vertex names of the new vertices. Named arguments are interpreted as
vertex attributes for the new vertices.

When deleting vertices via \code{-}, all arguments of \code{vertex()} (or
\code{vertices()}) are concatenated via \code{c()} and passed to
\code{\link[=delete_vertices]{delete_vertices()}}.

g <- make_(ring(10), with_vertex_(name = LETTERS[1:10])) +
  vertices("X", "Y")
