Boost C++ Libraries

...one of the most highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the world. — Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu, C++ Coding Standards

MutablePropertyGraph

A MutablePropertyGraph is a MutableGraph with properties attached internally to the vertices and edges. When adding vertices and edges the value of the properties can be given.

Refinement of

MutableGraph and PropertyGraph

Notation

`G`	A type that is a model of Graph.
`g`	An object of type `G`.
`e`	An object of type `boost::graph_traits<G>::edge_descriptor`.
`u,v`	are objects of type `boost::graph_traits<G>::vertex_descriptor`.
`ep`	is an object of type `G::edge_property_type`
`vp`	is an object of type `G::vertex_property_type`

Associated Types

Edge Property Type	`graph_traits<G>::edge_property_type`
Vertex Property Type	`graph_traits<G>::vertex_property_type`

Valid Expressions

`add_edge(u, v, ep, g)`	Inserts the edge (u,v) into the graph, and copies object `ep` into the property for that edge. Return type: `std::pair<edge_descriptor, bool>`
`add_vertex(vp, g)`	Add a new vertex to the graph and copy `vp` into the property for the new vertex. The `vertex_descriptor` for the new vertex is returned. Return type: `vertex_descriptor`

Concept Checking Class

  template <class G>
  struct MutablePropertyGraphConcept
  {
    typedef typename boost::graph_traits<G>::edge_descriptor edge_descriptor;
    void constraints() {
      BOOST_CONCEPT_ASSERT(( MutableGraphConcept<G> ));
      v = add_vertex(vp, g);
      p = add_edge(u, v, ep, g);
    }
    G g;
    std::pair<edge_descriptor, bool> p;
    typename boost::graph_traits<G>::vertex_descriptor u, v;
    typename boost::graph_traits<G>::vertex_property_type vp;
    typename boost::graph_traits<G>::edge_property_type ep;
  };
