Parameters:
input=name [required]
Name of input vector map
Or data source for direct OGR access
arc_layer=string
Arc layer
Vector features can have category values in different layers. This
number determines which layer to use. When used with direct OGR ac-
cess this is the layer name.
Default: 1
node_layer=string
Node layer
Vector features can have category values in different layers. This
number determines which layer to use. When used with direct OGR ac-
cess this is the layer name.
Default: 2
output=name [required]
Name for output vector map
cut=name [required]
Name for output vector map containing a minimum cut
arc_column=name
Arc forward/both direction(s) cost column (number)
arc_backward_column=name
Arc backward direction cost column (number)
node_column=name
Node cost column (number)
source_cats=range
Source category values
Example: 1,3,7-9,13
source_where=sql_query
Source WHERE conditions of SQL statement without ’where’ keyword
Example: income < 1000 and population >= 10000
sink_cats=range
Sink category values
Example: 1,3,7-9,13
sink_where=sql_query
Sink WHERE conditions of SQL statement without ’where’ keyword
Example: income < 1000 and population >= 10000
DESCRIPTION
v.net.flow computes the maximum flow and minimum cut between two sets
of nodes.
NOTES
The two sets of nodes are called sources and sink and v.net.flow finds
the maximum flow from the former to the latter ones. Edge capacities
can be specified by arc_column for forward direction and arc_back-
ward_column for backward direction. If the latter parameter is omitted
then the same capacity is used in either direction. The sets are given
by the respective cats, layer and where parameters. Maximum flow corre-
sponds to the maximum amount of water possibly flowing through the net-
work preserving the capacity constraints and minimum cut to the set of
edges of minimum total capacity completely separating sources from
sinks. The cut produced by this module corresponds to the first fully
saturated edges from sources to sinks. An attribute table containing
the flow information is linked to the output map. The table consists of
two columns: cat and flow and stores the flow along each line. Negative
flow means that "water" is flowing in the backward direction. Cut map
contains the edges in the minimum cut.
A famous result says that the total amount of water flowing is equal to
the minimum cut.
EXAMPLES
Find maximum flow from factories to stores using SPEED for the capaci-
ties.
v.net.flow input=roads output=roads_flow cut=roads_cut arc_column=SPEED \
source_where="type=factory" sink_where="type=store"
If all the capacties are one then the minimum cut corresponds to the
minimum number of edges separating sources from sinks.
v.net.flow input=network output=flow cut=cut arc_column=ones \
source_cats=1-10 sink_cats=100-100
