       v.net.bridge  - Computes bridges and articulation points in the network.

KEYWORDS

       vector, network, articulation points

SYNOPSIS

       v.net.bridge
       v.net.bridge --help
       v.net.bridge   input=name   output=name    [arc_layer=string]    [node_layer=string]    [arc_column=name]
       [arc_backward_column=name]   [node_column=string]  method=string   [--overwrite]   [--help]   [--verbose]
       [--quiet]  [--ui]

   Flags:
       --overwrite
           Allow output files to overwrite existing files

       --help
           Print usage summary

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

       --ui
           Force launching GUI dialog

   Parameters:
       input=name [required]
           Name of input vector map
           Or data source for direct OGR access

       output=name [required]
           Name for output vector map

       arc_layer=string
           Arc layer
           Vector  features  can have category values in different layers. This number determines which layer to
           use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
           Default: 1

       node_layer=string
           Node layer
           Vector features can have category values in different layers. This number determines which  layer  to
           use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
           Default: 2

       arc_column=name
           Arc forward/both direction(s) cost column (number)

       arc_backward_column=name
           Arc backward direction cost column (number)

       node_column=string
           Node cost column (number)

       method=string [required]
           Feature type
           Options: bridge, articulation
           bridge: Finds bridges
           articulation: Finds articulation points

DESCRIPTION

       v.net.bridge finds bridges and articulation points in a network.

NOTES

       Bridge  in  a  network  is  an  edge/line  whose removal would disconnect the (sub-)network. A node is an
       articulation point if its removal would disconnect the (sub-)network. For  more  information  and  formal
       definitions check the wikipedia entries: bridge and articulation point.

       The  output  of  the  module  contains  the  selected features. For method=bridge, lines corresponding to
       bridges are copied from the input map to the output map. On  the  other  hand,  for  method=articulation,
       points are created on the positions of articulation points.

       In  GRASS  GIS,  line  is not always a single line segment. It might be, and often is, a sequence of line
       segments between two intersections. Also, articulation point is a standard  graph  theoretic  terminology
       which  is slightly misleading in GRASS.  An articulation point in graph theory is an articulation node in
       GRASS terminology.
