12. connectivity — A class and functions for handling nodal connectivity.

This module defines a specialized array class for representing nodal connectivity. This is e.g. used in mesh models, where geometry is represented by a set of numbered points (nodes) and the geometric elements are described by refering to the node numbers. In a mesh model, points common to adjacent elements are unique, and adjacency of elements can easily be detected from common node numbers.

class connectivity.Connectivity(data=[], dtyp=None, copy=False, nplex=0, eltype=None)

A class for handling element to node connectivity.

A connectivity object is a 2-dimensional integer array with all non-negative values. Each row of the array defines an element by listing the numbers of its lower entity types. A typical use is a Mesh object, where each element is defined in function of its nodes. While in a Mesh the word ‘node’ will normally refer to a geometrical point, here we will use ‘node’ for the lower entity whatever its nature is. It doesn’t even have to be a geometrical entity.

Note

The current implementation limits a Connectivity object to numbers that are smaller than 2**31. That is however largely sufficient for all practical cases.

In a row (element), the same node number may occur more than once, though usually all numbers in a row are different. Rows containing duplicate numbers are called degenerate elements. Rows containing the same node sets, albeit different permutations thereof, are called duplicates.

Parameters:

• data (int array_like) – Data to initialize the Connectivity. The data should be 2-dim with shape (nelems,nplex), where nelems is the number of elements and nplex is the plexitude of the elements.
• dtyp (float datatype, optional) – It not provided, the datatype of data is used.
• copy (bool, optional) – If True, the data are copied. The default setting will try to use the original data if possible, e.g. if data is a correctly shaped and typed numpy.ndarray.
• nplex (int, optional) – The plexitude of the data. This can be specified to force a check on the plexitude of the data, or to set the plexitude for an empty Connectivity. If an eltype is specified, the plexitude of the element type will override this value.
• eltype (str or elements.ElementType subclass, optional) – The element type associated with the Connectivity. It can be either a subclass of:class:elements.ElementType or the name of such a subclass. If not provided, a non-typed Connectivity will result. If that is used to create a Mesh, the proper element type will have to be specified at Mesh creation time. If the Connectivity will be used for other purposes, the element type may not be needed or not be important.

Raises:

ValueError – If nplex is provided and the specified data do not match the specified plexitude.

Notes

Empty Connectivities with nelems==0 and nplex > 0 can be useful, but a Connectivity with nplex==0 generally is not.

Examples

>>> Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,1,3],[0,3,2],[0,5,3]])
Connectivity([[0, 1, 2],
              [0, 1, 3],
              [0, 3, 2],

findDuplicate(permutations='all')

Find duplicate rows in the Connectivity.

Parameters:permutations (str) –

Defines which permutations of the row data are allowed while still considering the rows equal. Possible values are:

• ’none’: no permutations are allowed: rows must match the same date at the same positions.
• ’roll’: rolling is allowed. Rows that can be transformed into each other by rolling are considered equal;
• ’all’: any permutation of the same data will be considered an equal row. This is the default.

Returns:V (Varray) – A Varray where each row contains a list of the row numbers from a that are considered equal. The entries in each row are sorted and the rows are sorted according to their first element.

Notes

This is like arraytools.equalRows() but has a different default value for permutations.

Examples

>>> C = Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,1,3],[0,1,2],[2,0,1],[2,1,0]])
>>> C.findDuplicate()

array([0, 1, 3, 4])

removeDuplicate(permutations='all')

Remove duplicate elements from a Connectivity list.

By default, duplicates are elements that consist of the same set of nodes, in any particular order. Setting permutations to ‘none’ will only remove the duplicate rows that have matching values at matching positions.

Returns:Connectivity – A new Connectivity with the duplicate elements removed.

Examples

>>> C = Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,1,3],[0,1,2],[2,0,1],[2,1,0]])
>>> C.removeDuplicate()
Connectivity([[0, 1, 2],
              [0, 1, 3]])
>>> C.removeDuplicate(permutations='roll')
Connectivity([[0, 1, 2],
              [0, 1, 3],
              [2, 1, 0]])
>>> C.removeDuplicate(permutations='none')
Connectivity([[0, 1, 2],
              [0, 1, 3],
              [2, 0, 1],
              [2, 1, 0]])

reorder(order='nodes')

Reorder the elements of a Connectivity in a specified order.

This does not actually reorder the elements itself, but returns an index with the order of the rows (elements) in the Connectivity table that meets the specified ordering requirements.

Parameters:order (str or list of ints) –

Specifies how to reorder the elements. It is either one of the special string values defined below, or else it is an index with length equal to the number of elements. The index should be a permutation of the numbers in range(self.nelems(). Each value gives the number of the old element that should be placed at this position. Thus, the order values are the old element numbers on the position of the new element number.

order can also take one of the following predefined values, resulting in the corresponding renumbering scheme being generated:

• ’nodes’: the elements are renumbered in order of their appearance in the inverse index, i.e. first are the elements connected to node 0, then the as yet unlisted elements connected to node 1, etc.
• ’random’: the elements are randomly renumbered.
• ’reverse’: the elements are renumbered in reverse order.

Returns:1-dim int array – Int array with a permutation of arange(self.nelems(), such that taking the elements in this order will produce a Connectivity reordered as requested. In case an explicit order was specified as input, this order is returned after checking that it is indeed a permutation of range(self.nelems().

Examples

>>> A = Connectivity([[1,2],[2,3],[3,0],[0,1]])
>>> A[A.reorder('reverse')]
Connectivity([[0, 1],
              [3, 0],
              [2, 3],
              [1, 2]])
>>> A[A.reorder('nodes')]
Connectivity([[0, 1],
              [3, 0],
              [1, 2],
              [2, 3]])
>>> A[A.reorder([2,3,0,1])]
Connectivity([[3, 0],
              [0, 1],
              [1, 2],
              [2, 3]])

renumber(start=0)

Renumber the nodes to a consecutive integer range.

The node numbers in the table are changed thus that they form a consecutive integer range starting from the specified value.

Parameters:start (int) – Lowest node number to be used in the renumbered Connectivity. Returns:

• elems (Connectivity) – The renumbered Connectivity
• oldnrs (1-dim int array) – The sorted list of unique (old) node numbers. The new node numbers are assigned in order of increasing old node numbers, thus the old node number for new node number i can be found at position i - start.

Examples

>>> e,n = Connectivity([[0,2],[1,4],[4,2]]).renumber(7)
>>> print(e)
[[ 7  9]
 [ 8 10]
 [10  9]]
>>> print(n)
[0 1 2 4]

Find the old node number of new node 10 >>> n[10-7] 4

inverse(expand=None)

Return the inverse index of a Connectivity table.

Returns:int array – The inverse index of the Connectivity, as computed by arraytools.inverseIndex().

Examples

>>> Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,1,4],[0,4,2]]).inverse(expand=True)
array([[ 0,  1,  2],
       [-1,  0,  1],
       [-1,  0,  2],
       [-1, -1, -1],
       [-1,  1,  2]])
>>> Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,1,4],[0,4,2]]).inverse(expand=False)
Varray([[0, 1, 2], [0, 1], [0, 2], [], [1, 2]])
>>> Connectivity().inverse()
Varray([])

nParents()

Return the number of elements connected to each node.

Returns:1-dim int array – The number of elements connected to each node. The length of the array is equal to the highest node number + 1. Unused node numbers will have a count of zero.

Examples

>>> Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,1,4],[0,4,2]]).nParents()
array([3, 2, 2, 0, 2])

connectedTo(nodes, return_ncon=False)

Check if the elements are connected to the specified nodes.

Parameters:

• nodes (int or int array_like) – One or more node numbers to check for connections in the table.
• return_ncon (bool, optional) – If True, also return the number of connections for each element.

Returns:

• connections (int array) – The numbers of the elements that contain at least one of the specified nodes.
• ncon (int array, optional) – The number of connections for each connected element. This is only provided if return_ncon is True.

Examples

>>> A = Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,1,3],[0,3,2],[1,2,3]])
>>> print(A.connectedTo(2))
[0 2 3]
>>> A.connectedTo([0,1,3],True)
(array([0, 1, 2, 3]), array([2, 3, 2, 2]))

hits(nodes)

Count the nodes from a list connected to the elements.

Parameters:nodes (int or list of ints) – One or more node numbers. Returns:int array (nelems,) – An int array holding the number of nodes from the specified input that are contained in each of the elements.

Notes

This information can also be got from meth:connectedTo. This method however expands the results to the full element set, making it apt for use in selector expressions like self[self.hits(nodes) >= 2].

Examples

>>> A = Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,1,3],[0,3,2],[1,2,3]])
>>> A.hits(2)
array([1, 0, 1, 1])
>>> A.hits([0,1,3])
array([2, 3, 2, 2])

adjacency(kind='e', mask=None)

Create a table of adjacent items.

This creates an element adjacency table or node adjacency table An element i is said to be adjacent to element j, if the two elements have at least one common node. A node i is said to be adjacent to node j, if there is at least one element containing both nodes.

Parameters:

• kind ('e' or 'n') – Select element (‘e’) or node (n’) adjacency table. Default is element adjacency.
• mask (bool array or int index, optional) –

  Node selector. If provided (with kind=='e') this defines by a bool flag array or int index numbers the list of nodes that are to be considered connectors between elements. The default is to consider all nodes as connectors.

  This option is only useful in the case kind == ‘e’. If you want to use an element mask for the ‘n’ case, just apply the (element) mask beforehand by using self[mask].adjacency('n').

Returns:

Adjacency object – An Adjacency array with shape (nr,nc), where row i holds a sorted list of all the items that are adjacent to item i, padded with -1 values to create an equal list length for all items.

Examples

>>> Connectivity([[0,1],[0,2],[1,3],[0,5]]).adjacency('e')
Adjacency([[ 1,  2,  3],
           [-1,  0,  3],
           [-1, -1,  0],
           [-1,  0,  1]])

Adjacency([[-1, -1,  1,  2],
           [-1, -1,  0,  2],
           [ 0,  1,  4,  5],
           [-1, -1, -1, -1],
           [-1, -1,  2,  5],
           [-1, -1,  2,  4]])
>>> Connectivity([[0,1,],[2,3]]).adjacency('e')
Adjacency([], shape=(2, 0))

adjacentElements(els, mask=None)

Compute adjacent elements.

This creates an element adjacency table or node adjacency table. An element i is said to be adjacent to element j, if the two elements have at least one common node. A node i is said to be adjacent to node j, if there is at least one element containing both nodes.

Parameters:

• else (int or list of ints) – The element number(s) for which to compute the adjacent elements
• mask (bool array or int index, optional) –

  Node selector. If provided (with kind=='e') this defines by a bool flag array or int index numbers the list of nodes that are to be considered connectors between elements. The default is to consider all nodes as connectors.

  This option is only useful in the case kind == ‘e’. If you want to use an element mask for the ‘n’ case, just apply the (element) mask beforehand by using self[mask].adjacency('n').

Returns:

Adjacency object – An Adjacency array with shape (nr,nc), where row i holds a sorted list of all the items that are adjacent to item i, padded with -1 values to create an equal list length for all items.

Examples

>>> Connectivity([[0,1],[0,2],[1,3],[0,5]]).adjacentElements([0,1,2,3])
array([[ 1,  2,  3],
       [-1,  0,  3],
       [-1, -1,  0],
       [-1,  0,  1]])

>>> Connectivity([[0,1],[0,2],[1,3],[0,5]]).adjacentElements(1)
array([[0, 3]])

frontGenerator(startat=0, frontinc=1, partinc=1)

Generator function returning the frontal elements.

This is a generator function and is normally not used directly, but via the frontWalk() method.

Parameters: see frontWalk().

Returns:int array – Int array with a value for each element. On the initial call, all values are -1, except for the elements in the initial front, which get a value 0. At each call a new front is created with all the elements that are connected to any of the current front and which have not yet been visited. The new front elements get a value equal to the last front’s value plus the frontinc. If the front becomes empty and a new starting front is created, the front value is extra incremented with partinc.

Examples

>>> C = Connectivity([[2,8,7],[2,3,8],[3,9,8],[4,10,9],[5,6,11],
...                   [6,12,11]])
>>> C.adjacentElements([0])
array([[1, 2]])
>>> for p in C.frontGenerator(): print(p)
[ 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1]
[ 0  1  1 -1 -1 -1]
[ 0  1  1  2 -1 -1]
[ 0  1  1  2  4 -1]
[0 1 1 2 4 5]
>>> A = C.adjacency()
>>> for p in A.frontGenerator(): print(p)
[ 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1]
[ 0  1  1 -1 -1 -1]
[ 0  1  1  2 -1 -1]
[ 0  1  1  2  4 -1]
[0 1 1 2 4 5]

frontWalk(startat=0, frontinc=1, partinc=1, maxval=-1)

Walks through the elements by their node front.

A frontal walk is executed starting from the given element(s). A number of steps is executed, each step advancing the front over a given number of single pass increments. The step number at which an element is reached is recorded and returned.

Parameters:

• startat (int or list of ints) – Initial element number(s) in the front.
• frontinc (int) – Increment for the front number on each frontal step.
• partinc (int) – Increment for the front number when the front gets empty and a new part is started.
• maxval (int) – Maximum frontal value. If negative (default) the walk will continue until all elements have been reached. If non-negative, walking will stop as soon as the frontal value reaches this maximum.

Returns:

int array – An array of ints specifying for each element in which step the element was reached by the walker.

Examples

>>> C = Connectivity([[2,8,7],[2,3,8],[3,9,8],[4,10,9],[5,6,11],
...                   [6,12,11]])
>>> print(C.frontWalk())
[0 1 1 2 4 5]

front(startat=0, add=False)

Returns the elements of the first node front.

Parameters:

• startat (int or list od ints) – Element number(s) or a list of element numbers. The list of elements to find the next front for.
• add (bool, optional) – If True, the startat elements wil be included in the return value. The default (False) will only return the elements in the next front line.

Returns:

int array – A list of the elements that are connected to any of the nodes that are part of the startat elements.

Notes

This is equivalent to the first step of a frontWalk() with the same startat elements, and could thus also be obtained from where(self.frontWalk(startat,maxval=1) == 1)[0].

Here however another implementation is used, which is more efficient for very large models: it avoids the creation of the large array as returned by frontWalk.

Examples

>>> C = Connectivity([[2,8,7],[2,3,8],[3,9,8],[4,10,9],[5,6,11],
...                   [6,12,11]])
>>> print(C.front([2]))
[0 1 3]

selectNodes(selector)

Return a Connectivity containing subsets of the nodes.

Parameters:selector (int array_like) – An object that can be converted to a 1-dim or 2-dim int array. Examples are a tuple of local node numbers, or a list of such tuples all having the same length. Each row of selector holds a list of the local node numbers that should be retained in the new Connectivity table. As an example, if the Connectivity is plex-3 representing triangles, a selector [[0,1],[1,2],[2,0]] would extract the edges of the triangle. Returns:Connectivity – A new Connectivity object with shape (self.nelems*selector.nelems,selector.nplex). Duplicate elements created by the selector are retained. If the selector has an eltype (for example if it is a Connectivity itself), the returned Connectivity will have the same eltype.

Examples

>>> Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,2,1],[0,3,2]]).selectNodes([[0,1],[0,2]])
Connectivity([[0, 1],
              [0, 2],
              [0, 2],
              [0, 1],
              [0, 3],
              [0, 2]])

insertLevel(selector, permutations='all')

Insert an extra hierarchical level in a Connectivity table.

A Connectivity table identifies higher hierarchical entities in function of lower ones. This method inserts an extra level in the hierarchy. For example, if you have volumes defined in function of points, you can insert an intermediate level of edges, or faces. Each element may generate multiple instances of the intermediate level.

Parameters:

• selector (int array_like) – An object that can be converted to a 1-dim or 2-dim int array. Examples are a tuple of local node numbers, or a list of such tuples all having the same length. Each row of selector holds a list of the local node numbers that should be retained in the new Connectivity table.
• permutations (str) –

  Defines which permutations of the row data are allowed while still considering the rows equal. Equal rows in the intermediate level are collapsed into single items. Possible values are:

  • ’none’: no permutations are allowed: rows must match the same date at the same positions.
  • ’roll’: rolling is allowed. Rows that can be transformed into each other by rolling are considered equal;
  • ’all’: any permutation of the same data will be considered an equal row. This is the default.

Returns:

• hi (Connectivity) – A Connecivity defining the original elements in function of the intermediate level ones.
• lo (Connectivity) – A Connectivity defining the intermediate level items in function of the lowest level ones (the original nodes). If the selector has an eltype attribute, then lo will inherit the same eltype value.
• The resulting node numbering of the created intermediate entities
• (the lo return value) respects the numbering order of the original
• elements and the applied the selector, but in case of collapsing
• duplicate rows, it is undefined which of the collapsed sequences is
• returned.
• Because the precise order of the data in the collapsed rows is lost,
• it is in general not possible to restore the exact original table
• from the two result tables.
• See however mesh.Mesh.getBorder() for an application where an
• inverse operation is possible, because the border only contains
• unique rows.
• See also mesh.Mesh.combine(), which is an almost inverse operation
• for the general case, if the selector is complete.
• The resulting rows may however be permutations of the original.

Examples

>>> Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,2,1],[0,3,2]]).        insertLevel([[0,1],[1,2],[2,0]])
(Connectivity([[0, 1, 2],

>>> Connectivity([[0,1,2,3]]).        insertLevel([[0,1,2],[1,2,3],[0,1,1],[0,0,1],[1,0,0]])
(Connectivity([[0, 1, 2, 2, 2]]), Connectivity([[0, 1, 2],
              [1, 2, 3],
              [0, 1, 1]]))

combine(lo)

Combine two hierarchical Connectivity levels to a single one.

self and lo are two hierarchical Connectivity tables, representing higher and lower level respectively. This means that the elements of self hold numbers which point into lo to obtain the lowest level items.

In the current implementation, the plexitude of lo should be 2!

As an example, in a structure of triangles, hi could represent triangles defined by 3 edges and lo could represent edges defined by 2 vertices. This method will then result in a table with plexitude 3 defining the triangles in function of the vertices.

This is the inverse operation of insertLevel() with a selector which is complete. The algorithm only works if all node numbers of an element are unique.

Examples

>>> hi,lo = Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,2,1],[0,3,2]]).        insertLevel([[0,1],[1,2],[2,0]])
>>> hi.combine(lo)
Connectivity([[0, 1, 2],
              [0, 2, 1],
              [0, 3, 2]])

resolve()

Resolve the connectivity into plex-2 connections.

Creates a Connectivity table with a plex-2 (edge) connection between any two nodes that are connected to a common element.

There is no point in resolving a plexitude 2 structure. Plexitudes lower than 2 can not be resolved.

Returns a plex-2 Connectivity with all connections between node pairs. In each element the nodes are sorted.

Examples

>>> print([ i for i in combinations(range(3),2) ])
[(0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 2)]
>>> Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,2,1],[0,3,2]]).resolve()
Connectivity([[0, 1],
              [0, 2],
              [0, 3],
              [1, 2],
              [2, 3]])

sharedNodes(elist=None)

Return the list of nodes shared by all elements in elist

Parameters:elist (int array_like) – List of element numbers. If not specified, all elements are considered. Returns:int array – A 1-dim int array with the list of nodes that are common to all elements in the specified list. This array may be empty.

Examples

>>> a = Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,2,1],[0,3,2]])
>>> a.sharedNodes()
array([0, 2])
>>> a.sharedNodes([0,1])
array([0, 1, 2])

replic(n, inc)

Repeat a Connectivity with increasing node numbers.

Parameters:

• n (int) – Number of copies to make.
• inc (int) – Increment in node numbers for each copy.

Returns:

Connectivity – A Connectivity with the concatenation of n replicas of self, where the first replica is identical to self and each next one has its node numbers increased by inc.

Examples

>>> Connectivity([[0,1,2],[0,2,3]]).replic(2,4)
Connectivity([[0, 1, 2],
              [0, 2, 3],
              [4, 5, 6],
              [4, 6, 7]])

chain(disconnect=None, return_conn=False)

Reorder the elements into simply connected chains.

Chaining the elements involves reordering them such that the first node of the next element is equal to the last node of the previous. This is especially useful in converting line elements to continuous curves or polylines. It will work with any plexitude though, and only look at the first and last node of the elements in the chaining process.

Parameters:

• disconnect (int array_like | str, optional) – List of node numbers where the resulting chains should be split. None of the resulting chains will have any of the listed node numbers as an interior node. A chain may start and end at such a node. A special value ‘branch’ will set the disconnect array to all the nodes owned by more than two elements. This will split all chains at branching points.
• return_conn (bool) – If True, also return the list of Connectivities corresponding with the chains.

Returns:

• chains (list of int arrays) – A list of tables with the same column length as those in conn, and having two columns. The first column contains the original element numbers of a chain, and the second column a value +1 or -1 depending on whether the element traversal in the connected segment is in the original direction (+1) or the reverse (-1). The list of chains is sorted in order of decreasing length.
• conn (list of Connectivity instances, optional) – Only returned if return_conn is True: a list a Connectivity tables of plexitude nplex corresponding to each chain. The elements in each Connectivity are ordered to form a continuous connected segment, i.e. the last node of each element in the table is equal to the first node of the following element (if any).

chained(disconnect=None)

Return the Connectivities of the chained elements.

This is a convenience method calling chain() with the return_conn=True parameter and only returning the second return value. It is equivalent with:

self.chain(disconnect, return_conn=True)[1]

Examples

>>> Connectivity([[0,1],[1,2],[0,4],[4,2]]).chained()
[Connectivity([[0, 1],
              [1, 2],
              [2, 4],
              [4, 0]])]

>>> Connectivity([[0,1],[1,2],[0,4]]).chained()
[Connectivity([[4, 0],
              [0, 1],
              [1, 2]])]

>>> Connectivity([[0,1],[0,2],[0,3],[4,5]]).chained()
[Connectivity([[1, 0],
              [0, 2]]), Connectivity([[4, 5]]), Connectivity([[0, 3]])]

>>> Connectivity([[0,1],[0,2],[0,3],[5,4]]).chained(disconnect='branch')
[Connectivity([[5, 4]]), Connectivity([[0, 3]]),
Connectivity([[0, 2]]), Connectivity([[0, 1]])]
>>> Connectivity([[0,1,2],[2,0,3],[0,3,1],[4,5,2]]).chained()
[Connectivity([[1, 3, 0],
               [0, 1, 2],
               [2, 0, 3]]),
Connectivity([[4, 5, 2]])]
>>> Connectivity([[0,1,2],[2,0,3],[0,3,1],[4,5,2]],).chained(
...     disconnect=[0])
[Connectivity([[0, 1, 2],
              [2, 0, 3]]),         Connectivity([[4, 5, 2]]), Connectivity([[0, 3, 1]])]

static connect(clist, nodid=None, bias=None, loop=False)

Connect nodes from multiple Connectivity objects.

Parameters:

• clist (list of Connectivity objects) – The Connectivities to connect.
• nodid (int array_like, optional) – List of node indices, same length as clist. This specifies which node of the elements will be used in the connect operation.
• bias (int array_like, optional) – List of element bias values, same length as clist. If provided, then element looping will start at this number instead of at zero.
• loop (bool) – If False (default), new element generation will stop as soon as the shortest Connectivity runs out of elements. If set to True, the shorter lists will wrap around until all elements of all Connectivities have been used.

Returns:

Connectivity – A Connectivity with plexitude equal to the number of Connectivities in clist. Each element of the new Connectivity consist of a node from the corresponding element of each of the Connectivities in clist. By default this will be the first node of that element, but a nodid list may be given to specify the node index to be used for each of the Connectivities. Finally, a list of bias values may be given to specify an offset in element number for the subsequent Connectivities. If loop==False, the length of the Connectivity will be the minimum length of the Connectivities in clist, each minus its respective bias. If loop=True, the length will be the maximum length in of the Connectivities in clist.

Examples

>>> a = Connectivity([[0,1],[2,3],[4,5]])
>>> b = Connectivity([[10,11,12],[13,14,15]])
>>> c = Connectivity([[20,21],[22,23]])
>>> print(Connectivity.connect([a,b,c]))
[[ 0 10 20]
 [ 2 13 22]]
>>> print(Connectivity.connect([a,b,c],nodid=[1,0,1]))
[[ 1 10 21]
 [ 3 13 23]]
>>> print(Connectivity.connect([a,b,c],bias=[1,0,1]))
[[ 2 10 22]]
>>> print(Connectivity.connect([a,b,c],bias=[1,0,1],loop=True))
[[ 2 10 22]
 [ 4 13 20]
 [ 0 10 22]]
