Computing b takes about 1 second on a lapto p, but computation time increases exponentially with
the size of the network.
Interactively plotting and editing a network
An obje c t of class "linnet" c a n be plotted by plot.linnet or iplot.linnet. The plot method
gives full control over the graphical display while the iplot method is particularly useful for zoom-
ing in to small details in the n etwork. In iplot.linnet the user can choose to d isp la y th e
