`#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/connected_components.h>`

removes connected components whose size is (strictly) smaller than a given threshold value, where the size of a connected component is computed as the sum of the individual sizes of all the faces of the connected component.

By default, the size of a face is `1` (and thus the size of a connected component is the number of faces it contains), but it is also possible to pass custom sizes, such as the area of the face.

Template Parameters

  PolygonMesh | a model of `FaceListGraph` and `MutableFaceGraph`
  ThresholdValueType | the type of the threshold value. If a face size property map is passed by the user, `ThresholdValueType` must be the same type as the value type of the property map. Otherwise, `ThresholdValueType` must be `std::size_t`.
