Split a Network into Its Connected Components

Description

Split a Network into Its Connected Components

Usage

split_components(x, min_size = 1L, keep_format = FALSE, directed = NULL)

Arguments

x	Network input.
min_size	Integer. Drop components smaller than this. Default 1 (keep all, including isolated nodes).
keep_format	Logical. Return each component in the input format.
directed	Logical or NULL. If NULL (default), auto-detect.

Value

A list of cograph_network objects, one per component, ordered from largest to smallest and named "component_1", "component_2", and so on. Components are weakly connected, matching igraph::components(mode = "weak").

Examples

adj <- matrix(0, 5, 5, dimnames = list(LETTERS[1:5], LETTERS[1:5]))
adj["A", "B"] <- adj["B", "A"] <- 1
adj["C", "D"] <- adj["D", "C"] <- 1

parts <- split_components(adj)
length(parts)
