Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) Examples

This function generates the transitive closure of the supplied graph. In short: if A->B->C then an edge A->C is added. Edge weights are conserved if possible (in a hopefully smart way). This is a simple convenience wrapper for the RBGL function transitive.closure.
