graph_extract_components function

Component extraction of a graph

This function extracts all connected components of the input, which can be an "igraph" object or a "network" object, and converts them to "igraph" objects.

graph_extract_components(
  x,
  directed = TRUE,
  bipartite_proj = FALSE,
  num_proj = 1
)

Arguments

• x: An igraph or a network object.
• directed: Whether to create a directed graph (default = TRUE).
• bipartite_proj: Whether the bipartite network must be projected or not (default = FALSE).
• num_proj: Numbers 1 or 2 that show the number of projects for bipartite graphs (default = 1).

Returns

A list including the components of the input as igraph objects. The output is a list where each element represents a component and is an igraph object. The components are disconnected subgraphs of the input graph.

A list including the components of the input as igraph objects.

Details

This function separates different components of an "igraph" or a "network" object and illustrates them as a list of independent graphs. If the input graph was bipartite and the "bipartite_proj" was TRUE, it will project it, and you can decide in which project you want to continue working with.
