NetworkXNotImplemented: not implemented for directed type

[Monika-cnb]

Hi,

I get this error while trying to plot the graph. I'm able to plot the graph in a different way but I'm not sure why the below code is not working for me. " for g in nx.connected_components(similarity_graph): print(g)"

What can I do to resolve this error?

Thanks

Hi,

Please send through the error text you get. That would be a great help.

Thanks Rob

Hi Rob,

This is the error I'm getting. Everything else apart from this is working fine.

Thanks

Thanks,

"connected_components" is not implemented for directed graphs as per the docs for networkx - https://networkx.org/documentation/stable/reference/algorithms/generated/networkx.algorithms.components.connected_components.html#networkx.algorithms.components.connected_components

In short, directed graphs do not support connected components in the same way as undirected graphs.

The networkx functions "strongly_connected_components" or "weakly_connected_components" should be passed for directed graphs (see the docs linked in the page I have linked for you above)

It may be possible to use other community detection algorithms to achieve similar partitioning of your graph.

I hope this helps and come back to me if it doesn't.

Thanks

Rob

Thanks for linking the docs, Rob.

I'll take a look at the docs and try with different networkx functions.

Thanks for your help.

Best, Monika
