SYNOPSIS

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

   Flags:
       -a
           Add points on nodes

       --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

       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)

       output=name [required]
           Name for output vector map

       method=string [required]
           Type of components
           Options: weak, strong
           weak: Weakly connected components
           strong: Strongly connected components

DESCRIPTION

       v.net.components computes the weakly and strongly connected components in a network.

NOTES

       Two  nodes,  u and v are in the same strongly connected component if there are directed paths from u to v
       and from v to u. The nodes are in the same weakly connected component if,  ignoring  orientation  of  the
       edges, there is a path between them.
       The  type  of components is specified by method parameter.  v.net.components creates a table and links it
       to the given layer.  This table contains only two integer columns: cat and comp .  If  a  point  or  both
       endpoints  of  a  line  belong to the same component then the point/line is written to the output map and
       appropriate information is stored in the table. If -a flag is set then new points are added on the  nodes
       without points. These points have category numbers larger than any category used in the input map.

EXAMPLES

       Any  road  network  should  form  a  single strongly connected component.  Otherwise, it is impossible to
       travel between some places.
       v.net.components input=roads output=roads_components method=strong
