Hi everyone, and thank you in advance for your help.

I'm working with a social network where the links represent different kinds
of "knowledge transfers". Whithin these, there are flows that we consider
as undirected by definition, or actually mutually directed between two
nodes, such us "joint R&D"; and there are other ties where knowledge flows
goes only in one direction, "training" for example.

So we have a kind of "mixed graph" that in principle can not be handled by
igraph,
but I am looking for the best way to emulate this mixed network with the
package.

The first idea that comes to my mind is to represent undirected links as
composed by two ties between the two nodes involved, so for example an
undirected link between A and B would be represented by A->B & B->A. In the
case of directed links, we just record the one tie that exist.

Can you see any trouble with this approach? Are there better ways to
emulate mixed graphs with igraph?

Thanks for your help!
