momepy.meshedness¶

momepy.meshedness(graph, radius=5, name='meshedness', distance=None)[source]¶

Calculates meshedness for subgraph around each node.

Subgraph is generated around each node within set radius. If distance=None, radius will define topological distance, otherwise it uses values in distance attribute.

\[\alpha=\frac{e-v+1}{2 v-5}\]

where \(e\) is the number of edges in subgraph and \(v\) is the number of nodes in subgraph.

Parameters

graphnetworkx.Graph

Graph representing street network. Ideally genereated from GeoDataFrame using momepy.gdf_to_nx()

radius: int

number of topological steps defining the extent of subgraph

namestr, optional

calculated attribute name

distancestr, optional

Use specified edge data key as distance. For example, setting distance=’weight’ will use the edge weight to measure the distance from the node n.

Returns

Graph

networkx.Graph
