Error for plot_multiplex3D

[Patrick-Wen]

I followed the tutorial for "Multilayer community detection" (.../Documents/GitHub/muxViz/docs/articles/ml_community.html) but got an error when running

# Show the multiplex network
plot_multiplex3D(g.list, layer.layout=lay, layer.colors=layer.colors,
                         layer.shift.x=0.5, layer.space=2,
                         layer.labels="auto", layer.labels.cex=1.5,
                         node.size.values="auto", node.size.scale=0.8,
                         show.aggregate=T)

Here is the error message:
Error in !is.na(layer.labels) && !is.null(layer.labels) :
'length = 3' in coercion to 'logical(1)'

> !is.na(layer.labels)
[1] TRUE TRUE TRUE
> !is.null(layer.labels)
[1] TRUE

The first line returns 3 TRUE while the second only 1, so when using &&, an error is returned. This seems to be an inherent error in the source code. I suspect this issue should be resolved internally. Please let me know if I am wrong.

There is the same issue with the line !is.na(layer.labels) && !is.null(layer.labels). I modified both lines of code and the tutorial example got running successfully to retun the stacked 3D multilayer graph.

Can you please share the code and modifications and steps used to get this to work?Sent from my iPhoneOn Aug 31, 2023, at 12:13, Patrick-Wen ***@***.***> wrote: There is the same issue with the line !is.na(layer.labels) && !is.null(layer.labels).

I did not formally correct the code, I just deleted the two aforementioned lines (i.e., !is.na(layer.labels) && !is.null(layer.labels) and !is.na(layer.labels) && !is.null(layer.labels) ) and the associated if statement to require the code specified in the if statement to be run directly without being checked. This is suitable for running the example in the tutorial since the condition specified by the if statement is satisfied. Certainly, a more general approach is to update the if statement rather than simply delete it.

I downloaded the zip file from GitHub, unzip the folder, find the function plot_multiplex3D in "...\muxViz-master\R\muxLib_plot_functions.R", and deleted the corresponding lines. Then I compressed the modified package to a new zip file, and use devtools::install_local("") to install this package. Then run the code in the tutorial, that worked.
