NAME
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 [layer=integer] method=string [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]
Flags:
- --overwrite
- Allow output files to overwrite existing files
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
Parameters:
- input=name
- Name of input vector map
- output=name
- Name for output vector map
- layer=integer
- Layer number
- A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use.
- Default: 1
- method=string
- 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.
