[R] vertex labels in igraph from adjacency matrix

[Gabor Csardi]

Mark, graph.adjacency always preserves the order of the vertices,
so the vertex at row/column 1 will be vertex #0 in the igraph graph,
etc. I'll document this in a minute. 

This means that you can always do

g <- graph.adjacency(A)
V(g)$name <- colnames(A)

But i completely agree that this should be done by default,
i'll do that in the near future.

Btw, weighted shortest path calculation (= where the edges have 
weights or capacities) is only implemented in the development 
version of igraph. Just in case you're looking for that.

Best,
Gabor
