giant.component.extract: Giant component extraction of a graph
Description
This function extracts the largest connected or the giant component
of the input graph which can be an "igraph" object or a "network" object
and convert them as "igraph" objects. For the bipartite graph, this will
apply projection before extracting the components.
Whether the bipartite network must be projected or not(default=FALSE)
num.proj
A number which shows the number of projects especifically for
bipartite graphs.(default=1)
Value
the giant componet of the input as igraph object
Details
This function distinguishes the largest component of an "igraph" or a "network" object and
illustrates them as a list which contains the edgelist of the giant component. If the input
graph was bipartite and the "bipartite.proj" was TRUE, it will projet it and you can decide
to which project you want to continue to work with that.
