I could see that I need to work with Dynamic Property Maps in order to read/write GraphML files. How do I set/get dynamic properties to/from nodes and edges with BGL? Thanks in advance, Andre de Leiradella Andre de Leiradella wrote:

Hi All,

I've recently discovered BGL and am considering using it to replace some graph classes and algorithms I use in an application. One thing that I need is the ability of adding properties to nodes at runtime.

In my application each node represents an operation to be performed upon a set of inputs and generating one or more outputs. The properties of the nodes are defined in an external file and depend on the node's operation.

Does BGL support it? Both bundled properties and the property map seem to required the definition of the properties at compile-time, and they seem to required that all nodes have the same set of properties.

While I could hold each node's properties in an external structure (i.e. std::map), I also want to use read_graphml/write_graphml to load/save the graph along with the node's properties.

Thanks in advance,
