Extract largest biconnected component

What particularly puzzles me: Using my example graph I nowhere see the right answer in the gt output:

edgelist = np.array([[ 0, 1], [ 0, 3], [ 0, 5], [ 0, 9], [ 1, 2], [ 1, 4], [ 1, 5], [ 1, 8], [ 1, 16], [ 1, 17], [ 1, 23], [ 3, 5], [ 3, 19], [ 5, 6], [ 5, 9], [ 5, 11], [ 5, 13], [ 6, 7], [ 6, 10], [ 8, 12], [ 8, 21], [ 9, 15], [ 9, 22], [11, 13], [13, 14], [13, 21], [15, 20], [15, 24], [17, 18]])
edgeweights = np.array([2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1])
G = Graph(directed=False)
G.add_edge_list(edgelist)
weight = G.new_edge_property('int')
weight.a = edgeweights
graph_draw(G, edge_pen_width=weight, vertex_text=G.vertex_index, output_size=(300, 300))

Visual inspection shows that the largest bicomponent is the set of 9 vertices {0, 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 21}.

bicomp, articulation, nc = label_biconnected_components(G, eprop=weight)
print(bicomp.a)

[16 16 16 16 0 1 16 16 12 14 15 16 11 4 16 16 16 2 3 10 16 7 8 16 9 16 5 6 13]

print(articulation.a)

[0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]

nc

array([ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 13], dtype=uint64)

How do I recover the largest component?

Also, my example is a weighted graph, but the method is agnostic of edge weights. So what can eprop be used for?

Best wishes

Read the documentation carefully. The `eprop` parameter is used to specify
the _output_ property map where the labels will be stored. This is only
there if you want to re-use a property map, instead of creating a new one.
It has nothing to do with weights.

print(bicomp.a)

[16 16 16 16 0 1 16 16 12 14 15 16 11 4 16 16 16 2 3 10 16 7 8 16 9 16 5 6 13]

print(articulation.a)

[0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]

nc

array([ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 13], dtype=uint64)

How do I recover the largest component?

It seems the label 16 occurs most often. Just extract the vertices with
edges labeled 16.

Best,
