\title{Create a graph from an edge list matrix}
\usage{
graph_from_edgelist(el, directed = TRUE)

from_edgelist(...)
}
\arguments{
\item{el}{The edge list, a two column matrix, character or numeric.}

\item{directed}{Whether to create a directed graph.}

\item{...}{Passed to \code{graph_from_edgelist()}.}
}
\value{
An igraph graph.
}
\description{
\code{graph_from_edgelist()} creates a graph from an edge list. Its argument
is a two-column matrix, each row defines one edge. If it is
a numeric matrix then its elements are interpreted as vertex ids. If
it is a character matrix then it is interpreted as symbolic vertex
names and a vertex id will be assigned to each name, and also a
\code{name} vertex attribute will be added.
