Multiple Relations Networks

Networks containing multiple relations on the same set of vertices, e.g. Sampson monastery data from Ucinet dataset - Ucinet DL file

Defining multiple relations networks in Pajek input files:
Basic information

Info/Network/Multiple Relations - number of arcs/edges in each relation.
Visualization of multiple relations networks:

Options/Colors/Edges/Relation Number and Options/Colors/Arcs/Relation Number - colors of edges/arcs are determined by relation number

Options/Colors/Relation Colors - color table for relation numbers.

Options/Lines/Draw Lines/Relations - showing/hiding lines belonging to selected relations e.g. 1-3,6,10-15.

Export to SVG / Kinemage.
Net/Transform/Multiple Relations/Extract Relation(s) - extracting selected relations from multiple relations network.
Combining ordinary networks on the same set of vertices to MRN

Net/Transform/Multiple Relations/ Change Relation Number - Label
and after that
Nets/Union of Lines.
Net/Transform/Multiple Relations/Canonical Numbering - enumerate relations with numbers 1, 2,....
Net/Transform/Multiple Relations/ Relation Numbers->Line Values.
Trick: use this option, then Net/Transform/Sort Lines/Line Values/Descending and draw the network, export to EPS or SVG. Example multiex.net.
Net/Transform/Multiple Relations/ Line Values->Relation Numbers - since multiple relations were not available in older versions, we used line values to distinguish them.
Important: partition of lines can be coded as a multiple relations network. Biconnected components is a partition of lines.
Example write.net.
Edit/Network contains relation number of each line - possibility to change it.
Genealogical networks (Ore, pgraph, bipartite pgraph) are multiple relations networks.
Temporal networks containing multiple relations described using time events,
example sample TIM file.
