Name
v.net.spanningtree - Computes minimum spanning tree for the network.
Notes
A spanning tree is a minimum cost subnetwork connecting all nodes in an undirected network (same forward
and backward costs). If a network is disconnected then the module computes the minimum spanning tree for
each (weakly) connected component. So, strictly speaking, v.net.spanningtree does not compute spanning
tree but a spanning forest. As the name suggests, a spanning tree is a tree. That is, it contains no
cycles and if a component has N nodes then the tree has N-1 edges connecting all nodes. Accol is used to
specify the costs of the edges. The output consists of the edges in the spanning tree.

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 access this is the layer name.
Default: 1node_layer=string

Vector features can have category values in different layers. This number determines which layer to
use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
Default: 2arc_column=name
Arc forward/both direction(s) cost column (number)
