# condensation¶

condensation(G, scc=None)[source]

Returns the condensation of G.

The condensation of G is the graph with each of the strongly connected components contracted into a single node.

Parameters : G : NetworkX DiGraph A directed graph. scc: list or generator (optional, default=None) Strongly connected components. If provided, the elements in $$scc$$ must partition the nodes in $$G$$. If not provided, it will be calculated as scc=nx.strongly_connected_components(G). C : NetworkX DiGraph The condensation graph C of G. The node labels are integers corresponding to the index of the component in the list of strongly connected components of G. C has a graph attribute named ‘mapping’ with a dictionary mapping the original nodes to the nodes in C to which they belong. Each node in C also has a node attribute ‘members’ with the list of original nodes in G that form the SCC that the node in C represents. NetworkXNotImplemented: If G is not directed

Notes

After contracting all strongly connected components to a single node, the resulting graph is a directed acyclic graph.
