getancestors (biograph)

(Removed) Find ancestors of a node in biograph object

The function has been removed. Use predecessors instead. Note that the function does not let you specify NumGenerations. You can use distances to find the distances from all nodes to the target node after setting the edge weight to 1, and filter the nodes by distance to the appropriate depth.

Syntax

Node = getancestors(BiographNode)
Node = getancestors(BiographNode, NumGenerations)


Arguments

BiographNode	Node in a biograph object.
NumGenerations	Number of generations. Enter a positive integer.

Description

Node = getancestors(BiographNode) returns a node (BiographNode) and all of its direct ancestors.

Node = getancestors(BiographNode, NumGenerations) finds the node (BiographNode) and its direct ancestors up to a specified number of generations (NumGenerations). If NumGenerations is 0, the function returns the node itself.

Version History

Introduced before R2006a

R2022b: Removed

The function has been removed. Use predecessors instead. Note that the function does not let you specify NumGenerations. You can use distances to find the distances from all nodes to the target node after setting the edge weight to 1, and filter the nodes by distance to the appropriate depth.

R2022a: Warns

The function issues a warning that it will be removed in a future release.

R2021b: To be removed

The function runs without warning, but it will be removed in a future release.
