Re: [Boost-users] [BGL] Help with Brandes' Betweenness

Hi Rui, I just sent a reply about "using biconnected_components" that addresses the same issue. You can create an associative_property_map from an std::map and the following function object: struct order_edges { template<typename T> bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const { return x.get_property() < y.get_property(); } }; The map (base_map) and property map ("edge_centrality") will look like this: typedef std::map< graph_traits::edge_descriptor, double, order_edges> map_t; map_t base_map; associative_property_map< map_t > edge_centrality(base_map); We'll try to make this easier in subsequent releases.

Hi,

I'm trying to write code to compute Brandes' Betweenness Centrality for a very simple graph: a star. I'm doing this, as I haven't been able to find simple examples in the documentation [hint :)] for vecS,vecS graphs and still haven't grasped how edge property maps work.

I've got it running if all I want is to compute vertex BC (see below, also attached), but can't get it to compute both vertex and edge BC. I'd appreciate any suggestions -perhaps my example (or something similar) could be corrected and included in the BGL?

Thanks, Rui
