[section Connected Components]
template <class Graph, class ComponentMap, class P, class T, class R>
typename property_traits<ComponentMap>::value_type
connected_components(const Graph &g, ComponentMap c,
const bgl_named_params<P,T,R>& params = ``/defaults/``);
The connected_components() functions compute the connected components of an undirected
graph using a DFS-based approach. A connected component of an undirected graph is a
set of vertices that are all reachable from each other. If the connected components
need to be maintained while a graph is growing the disjoint-set based approach of
function `incremental_components()` is faster. For "static" graphs this DFS-based
approach is faster \[8\].
The output of the algorithm is recorded in the component property map, which will
contain numbers giving the component number assigned to each vertex. This algorithm
returns the total number of connected components in the graph.
[heading Where Defined]
`boost/graph/connected_components.hpp`
[heading Parameters]
[table
[[Type] [Parameter] [Description]]
[
[in] [`const Graph& g`]
[
The /undirected/ graph for which connected components are being found.
This graph must be a model of VertexListGraph and Incidence Graph.
]
]
[
[out] [`ComponentMap c`]
[
The algorithm computes how many connected components are in the graph,
and assigning each component an integer label. The algorithm then records
which component each vertex in the graph belongs to by recording the
component number in the component property map. The ComponentMap type
must be a model of WritablePropertyMap. The value type shouch be an
integer type, preferably the same as the `vertices_size_type` of the
graph. The key type must be the graph's `vertex_descriptor` type.
]
]
]
[heading Named Parameters]
[table
[[Type] [Parameter] [Description]]
[
[util] [`color_map(ColorMap color)`]
[
This is used by the algorithm to keep track of its progress through the
graph. The type ColorMap must be a model of ReadWritePropertyMap and
its key type must be the graph's `vertex_descriptor` type and the value
type of the color map must model ColorValue.
*Default* An `iterator_property_map` create from a `std::vector` of
`default_color_type` of size `num_vertices(g)` and using `index_map` as
the index map (to access colors for a vertex).
]
]
[
[in] [`vertex_index_map(VertexIndexMap index_map)`]
[
This maps each vertex to an integer in the range \[0, `num_vertices(g)`).
This parameter is only necessary when the default color property map is
used. The type VertexIndexMap must be a model of ReadablePropertyMap. The
value type of the map must be an integer type. The vertex descriptor type
of the graph needs to be usable as the key type of the map.
*Default* `get(vertex_index, g)`. Note if you use this default, make sure
that your graph has an interior `vertex_index` property. For example
`adjacency_list` with `VertexList=listS` does not have an interior
`vertex_index` property.

[heading Complexity]
This algorithm runs in /O(V + E)/.
[heading Notes]
This algorithm will not compile if passed a /directed/ graph.
