Just out of curiosity what are the main differences in between PBGL and (Parallel) BGL-VTK ? What I am looking for is why not use PBGL directly ? What was the actual issue ?
The goal of PBGL in VTK is to integrate PBGL with VTK's data structures and pipeline model. It includes a wrapper around PBGL algorithms to conveniently use them from VTK, along with extending vtkGraph to be an implementation of PBGL concepts.
Will/Randy may have more to say about it.

Jeff has summarized nicely. I'd only add that we've not wrapped all of the PBGL algs yet. -Randy

I see. I got confused by vtkPBGLDistributedGraphHelper. It's sole goal it to provide another implementation of the Process Group Interface, right ? Thanks, -- Mathieu
