[boost] [BGL] Add edge with vertex' properties instead of vertex descriptors

14 Jul 2006

      Hello,

I have a graph type as follows:

namespace boost 
{
	enum vertex_flag_t { vertex_flag = 111 };
	BOOST_INSTALL_PROPERTY(vertex, flag);
}

typedef boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::undirectedS, 
	property<vertex_name_t, std::string,
		property<vertex_flag_t, bool,
			property<vertex_color_t, default_color_type> > >,
no_property> graph_t;

graph_t g;

That means I want to associate a string as name, a flag, and a default color to each vertex of my graph,
now I want to add edges to my graph directly using the vertex' properties instead of their descriptors, 
e.g.

boost::add_edge("vertex1", "vertex2", g);

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks.

Max
