## Function to add coordinates into a graph according to a node attribute

### Description

`xAddCoords` is supposed to add coordinates into a graph according to a node attribute such as community or comp.

### Usage

    xAddCoords(g, node.attr = NULL, glayout = layout_with_kk,
    edge.color.alternative = c("grey70", "grey95"), seed = 825,
    verbose = TRUE)

### Arguments

`g` | an object of class "igraph" (or "graphNEL") for a graph with such as a 'community' node attribute
`node.attr` | a charatter specifying a node attribute. If NULL or no match, it returns NULL
`glayout` | a graph layout function. This function can be one of "layout_nicely" (previously "layout.auto"), "layout_randomly" (previously "layout.random"), "layout_in_circle" (previously "layout.circle"), "layout_on_sphere" (previously "layout.sphere"), "layout_with_fr" (previously "layout.fruchterman.reingold"), "layout_with_kk" (previously "layout.kamada.kawai"), "layout_as_tree" (previously "layout.reingold.tilford"), "layout_with_lgl" (previously "layout.lgl"), "layout_with_graphopt" (previously "layout.graphopt"), "layout_with_sugiyama" (previously "layout.kamada.kawai"), "layout_with_dh" (previously "layout.davidson.harel"), "layout_with_drl" (previously "layout.drl"), "layout_with_gem" (previously "layout.gem"), "layout_with_mds", and "layout_as_bipartite". A full explanation of these layouts can be found in http://igraph.org/r/doc/layout_nicely.html
`edge.color.alternative` | two alternative colors for edges within the community (grey70 by default) and edges between communities (grey95 by default)
`seed` | an integer specifying the seed
`verbose` | logical to indicate whether the messages will be displayed in the screen. By default, it sets to true for display

### Value

It returns an igraph object, appended by node attributes including "xcoord" for x-coordinates, "ycoord" for y-coordiates, and by edge attributes including "color" for between-community edges ('grey95') and within-community edges ('grey70').

### Examples

    # 1) generate a random bipartite graph
    set.seed(123)
    g <- sample_bipartite(100, 50, p=0.1)
    V(g)$name <- V(g)

    ## Not run:
    # 2) obtain and append the community
    cs <- igraph::cluster_louvain(g)
    V(g)$community <- cs$membership
    ig <- xAddCoords(g, node.attr="community",
    edge.color.alternative=c("grey50","grey95"))
    gp <- xGGnetwork(ig, node.label='name', node.label.size=2,
    node.label.color='black', node.label.alpha=0.8, node.label.padding=0,
    node.label.arrow=0, node.label.force=0.002, node.xcoord='xcoord',
    node.ycoord='ycoord', node.color='community',
    node.color.title='Community', colormap='jet.both', ncolors=64,
    zlim=NULL,
    edge.color="color",edge.color.alpha=0.5,edge.curve=0,edge.arrow.gap=0)

    ## make it discrete for the colorbar
    gp +
    scale_colour_gradientn(colors=xColormap('jet')(64),breaks=seq(1,8)) +
    guides(color=guide_legend(title="Community"))

    ## End(Not run)
