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.

__init__()

RipsComplex constructor.

Parameters:
  • max_edge_length (float) – Rips value.
  • points (list of list of double) – A list of points in d-Dimension.

Or

Parameters:distance_matrix – A distance matrix (full square or lower

triangular). :type points: list of list of double

create_simplex_tree()
Parameters:max_dimension (int) – graph expansion for rips until this given maximal dimension.
Returns:A simplex tree created from the Delaunay Triangulation.
Return type:SimplexTree
