getEdges: Get Edges of a Graph

Description

Obtain edges of a 1D, 2D, or 3D graph based on the neighbourhood structure.

Usage

getEdges(mask, neiStruc)

Arguments

mask

a vector, matrix, or 3D array specifying vertices of a graph. Vertices of value 1 are within the graph and 0 are not.

neiStruc

a scalar, vector of four components, or \(3\times4\) matrix corresponding to 1D, 2D, or 3D graphs. It specifies the neighbourhood structure. See getNeighbors for details.

Value

A matrix of two columns with one edge per row. The edges connecting vertices and their corresponding first neighbours are listed first, and then those corresponding to the second neighbours, and so on and so forth. The order of neighbours is the same as in getNeighbors.

Details

There could be more than one way to define the same 3D neighbourhood structure for a graph (see Example 4 for illustration).
