fn() kruskalsAlgorithm
Computes a minimum spanning tree on a graph.

Defined in <seqan/graph_algorithms.h>
Signature void kruskalsAlgorithm(edges, g, source, weight);

Parameters

edges A String of vertex descriptors that represent edges. Each consecutive pair is an edge with the two end points.
g An undirected graph. Types: Undirected Graph
source A source vertex. Types: VertexDescriptor
weight Edge weights.
