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.
