'How to get igraph to use variables as vertices?

I feel like this is a very stupid question, but here we are.

I'm using igraph for the first time for a network analysis, and the resulting graph has values as vertices instead of the variable names... what is happening?

Thank you.

data <- read.spss("data.sav", use.value.labels = TRUE, to.data.frame=TRUE, add.undeclared.levels = c("no"))

g <- graph_from_data_frame(data, directed = FALSE) 

plot.igraph(g)

r igraph

You'd like the plot to print some feature of the vertices rather than arbitrary numbers. You can specify a vertex.label as shown below.

plot.igraph(g, vertex.label =  get.vertex.attribute(g, "variable"))

Here "variable" is the name of an attribute you would like to print on each vertex.

You can learn more about plotting in the help here: ?igraph.plotting (there's a link to this help page buried in ?plot.igraph)
