> A model for Multilayer/Multiplex/Complex Networks

It is still very much work in progress so beware
of updates as your code might break. To visualise a multilayer network,
check out [mplexviz-ngraph](https://github.com/DennisSchwartz/mplexviz-ngraph).

This module implements the multilayer network framework put forward here:
> Kivelä et al. 2014. Multilayer Networks. Journal of Complex Networks (2014) 2, 203-271. DOI:10.1093/comnet/cnu016

## Getting Started

Install the module with: `npm install mplexnet`

```javascript
var mplexnet = require('mplexnet');
var Network = mplexnet.Network;
```

## Documentation

Create the input for the network:

```javascript

// Input parsed from csv file of edges
var input = {};
input.data = 'source,l1,l2,target,l1,l2\n1,A,X,2,A,X\n1,A,X,1,B,X\n1,A,X,4,B,X\n1,B,X,1,B,Y\n1,B,X,3,B,X\n1,B,X,4,B,X\n3,B,X,4,B,X\n4,B,X,3,A,Y\n3,A,Y,3,A,X\n3,A,Y,2,A,Y';

// default options for network model
input.options = {
/* If you not specify a format,
the model will try to guess it from the input
*/
inputFormat: 'csv',
inputFileDelimiter: ',',
sourceFieldLabel: 'source',
targetFieldLabel: 'target',
loglevel: 0
};

```

Then instantiate the network model

```javascript
var mplexnet = require('mplexnet');
var Network = mplexnet.Network;
// createNetwork a new network
var myNetwork = new Network(input);
```
