I think you will need some kind of property to store the vertex names from Graphviz; you might be able to use null_property_map for that (from ) though.

The following works, but it seems very confusing. I tried the two commented lines separately but they don't compile. Is this the recommended method?

You don't need to modify the graph definition at all. I think this will work:

graph_t graph;

boost::dynamic_properties dp; dp.property("node_id", boost::make_null_property);

Sorry -- that needs to be make_null_property<...>().

bool status = boost::read_graphviz(stream,graph,dp,"node_id");
