Hi @benyamindsmith

I was browsing the "help wanted" tag, and I saw this - your library is already built on {igraph} which uses C++ as a back-end so is the issue still relevant? If not - what is your goal? Do you want to remove the dependency on {igraph} by rewriting everything in C++, or what?

Best,

Hi @serkor1,

Thanks for checking out the package!

There is definite work help wanted with rewriting the cluster_degree_betweennness function. The reason for this is based on the fact that the R code makes use of R functions and other packages which I believe could be avoided if written in C++.

The only caveat is that I've found trying to develop with the igraph C library directly a challenge.

I think rewriting the function using C/C++ will also help solve #1 .

Let me know what you think!

Ok, I get the idea. I havent studied the source code of {igraph} but using the library directly should give more flexibility. So Id guess it would solve #1.

I will take a crack at it at some point after I have submitted my package to CRAN.

Best,
