Hi all, What Im trying to do is the get a filtered or subgraph that holds the properties of the original graph (vertex and edge bundles). Ill use the 'subgraph' in other algorithms but from time to time I'd like to be able to trace the original vertex_descriptor and push data back to the original graph. (that might be able to happen via the original_vertex_d below but lets see..) Below is an attempt to use graph filters to do it but for reasons that can be found in topics by others, I think this is not going to work. (filtered graph are too simple.. etc) Is it possible to use the 'distance map', that I use to produce a filtered graph, for producing a subgraph that all info from the original (minus the filtered vertexes that we dont want of course) data are there and can be also further used in algorithms?
