connected_component_subgraphs¶

connected_component_subgraphs(G, copy=True)[source]¶

Generate connected components as subgraphs.

Parameters:	G (NetworkX graph) – An undirected graph. copy (bool (default=True)) – If True make a copy of the graph attributes
Returns:	comp – A generator of graphs, one for each connected component of G.
Return type:	generator

Examples

>>> G = nx.path_graph(4)
>>> G.add_edge(5,6)
>>> graphs = list(nx.connected_component_subgraphs(G))

If you only want the largest connected component, it’s more efficient to use max than sort.

>>> Gc = max(nx.connected_component_subgraphs(G), key=len)
