Hi I am not able to use set_property function for reverse Graphs. I am using C++7.0 on .Net2003 compiler. I read an earlier question posted at http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost-users/msg06970.php This sounded similar to my problem. The solution posted by Jeremy http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg66361.php runs fine on my machine . So I decided to use get_property instead of set_property as suggested in the solution. This did not solve my problem So I took Jeremy's solution and replaced subgraph by reverse_graph. Even that code generated: error C2784 could not deduce template argument list.. The code is: #include <string> #include <iostream> #include <boost/cstdlib.hpp> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/graph/reverse_graph.hpp> int main() { using namespace boost; using std::string; typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, directedS,no_property, property<edge_index_t, int>, property<graph_name_t, string> > graph_t; graph_t g; get_property(g, graph_name) = "graph"; std::cout << "name: " << get_property(g, graph_name) << std::endl; typedef reverse_graph<graph_t> reverse_graph_t; reverse_graph_t sg = reverse_graph_t(g); get_property(sg, graph_name) = "Reverse graph"; std::cout << "name: " << get_property(sg, graph_name) << std::endl; return exit_success; } Can anyone suggest how to make this work?
