Diagram of the types of edges used in TBMetapopPy network, along with the attributes of each. LungEdges (in black) indicate movement of bacteria within the air of the lungs, and thus connect two LungPatch instances together, with a WEIGHT value indicating probability of movement. LymphaticEdges (in blue) indicate the migration of cells from the lung to the lymphatic system, and connect a LungPatch to a LymphPatch. DRAINAGE indicates the flow rate of cells to the lymphatic system. BloodEdges (in red) indicate the movement of bacteria and cells into the lung via the bloodstream and thus connect a LymphPatch to a LungPatch. These edges contain a PERFUSION value, set equal to the perfusion value of the LungPatch
