Rips complex reference manual

class gudhi.RipsComplex

Bases: object

The data structure is a one skeleton graph, or Rips graph, containing edges when the edge length is less or equal to a given threshold. Edge length is computed from a user given point cloud with a given distance function, or a distance matrix.
