\name{removeEdge} \alias{removeEdge} \title{ removeEdge } \description{ A function to remove the specified edges from a graph. } \usage{ removeEdge(from, to, graph) } \arguments{ \item{from}{from edge labels } \item{to}{ to edge labels} \item{graph}{a \code{graph} object } } \details{ A new graph instance is returned with the edges specified by corresponding elements of the \code{from} and \code{to} vectors removed. If \code{from} and \code{to} are not the same length, one of them should have length one. All edges to be removed must exist in \code{graph}. } \value{ A new instance of a graph with the same class as \code{graph} is returned with the specified edges removed. } \author{R.
