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. .PP The output of the module contains the selected features. For \fBmethod=bridge\fR, lines corresponding to bridges are copied from the input map to the output map. On the other hand, for \fBmethod=articulation\fR, points are created on the positions of articulation points. .PP .br In GRASS GIS, \fIline\fR 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 \fInode\fR in GRASS terminology. .SH EXAMPLES .br .nf \fC TBD \fR .fi .SH SEE ALSO \fI v.net, v.category, \fR .SH AUTHORS Daniel Bundala, Google Summer of Code 2009, Student .br Wolf Bergenheim, Mentor .SH SOURCE CODE .PP Available at: v.net.bridge source code (history) .PP Main index | Vector index | Topics index | Keywords index | Graphical index | Full index .PP © 2003\-2020 GRASS Development Team, GRASS GIS 7.8.5 Reference Manual
