Re: [Boost-users] [BGL] Inverse property mapping?

...

Hi Alejandro,

Unless you explicitly set up an inverse property map, there's no way to invert a mapping using the property map interface. The only interface to retrieving anything from the property map is by key: get(map, key) (or map[key] if you're using an LValuePropertyMap).

Regards, Aaron

Hi Aaron, thanks for replying. The way I solved this problem is just using a map from the standard library for the inverse mapping. I couldn't think about any better solution. Is this what you referred as explicitly setting up an inverse map?

You could try boost.bimap : http://www.drivehq.com/web/matias.capeletto/bimap/doc/html/index.html
