Hi Jarrett,
would the coercion methods for the "graph" class, provided by the
package of the same name at Bioconductor be useful for doing what you
want? This is the same class that also Rgraphviz works on. Try
library("graph")
example("graphNEL-class")
as(gR, "matrix")
class ? graph
class ? graphNEL
? toGXL
There is a rich sets of methods for setting and accessing node and edge
attributes, and it is straightforward R to convert into any other
representation you like. See the vignette "Attributes for Graph
Objects". I am looking at version >= 1.13.6 of the package as I write this,
Best wishes
