OEDeleteEverythingExceptTheFirstLargestComponent¶
bool OEDeleteEverythingExceptTheFirstLargestComponent(OEMolBase & mol)
Deletes all atoms that are not part of the largest connected component
of a molecule. If two or more components of a molecule are the size
of the largest component, this function keeps the first one
encountered.
Only heavy atoms are taken into consideration when determining the size
of the components.
The OEDeleteEverythingExceptTheFirstLargestComponent function returns
false if the given molecule has only one connected component,
otherwise it returns true.
Note
The OEDeleteEverythingExceptTheFirstLargestComponent function is
identical to OETheFunctionFormerlyKnownAsStripSalts.
