Extract largest biconnected component

graph-tool
1

Hi all,

There is a function to label the edges of biconnected components in a graph:

https://graph-tool.skewed.de/static/doc/topology.html#graph_tool.topology.label_biconnected_components

I'm struggling to interpret the output of the example given there. comp.a is an edge property map with integers labeling edges. But what are those values?

And how can I use this property map to extract the *largest* bicomponent?

Is it about binarizing the map and using it in G.set_edge_filter()?

Many thanks in advance, list

They are the biconnected component labels, as the documentation says.

And how can I use this property map to extract the **largest** bicomponent?

Just look at the label that occurs most often.

Best,
