## Depth First Search on Neighbor Lists

### Description

`n.comp.nb()` finds the number of disjoint connected subgraphs in the graph depicted by `nb.obj` - a spatial neighbours list object.

### Usage

    n.comp.nb(nb.obj)

### Arguments

`nb.obj` | a neighbours list object of class `nb`

### Value

A list of:

`nc` | number of disjoint connected subgraphs
`comp.id` | vector with the indices of the disjoint connected subgraphs that the nodes in `nb.obj` belong to

    plot(col2, coords, add=TRUE)
    res <- n.comp.nb(col2)
    table(res$comp.id)
    points(coords, col=res$comp.id, pch=16)
