Is the bouding box the placement area? I tried both ways you have suggested above and i can't seem to get rid of the compiler errors. If I leave boost::side_length(s) as it is, the compiler complains 's' is not instantiated. If I give a value instead of 's', it complains as follows.

C:/boost_1_34_1/boost/graph/kamada_kawai_spring_layout.hpp: In function `bool

   boost::kamada_kawai_spring_layout(const Graph&, PositionMap, WeightMap,
   boost::detail::graph::edge_or_side<EdgeOrSideLength, T>) [with Graph =

   boost::simple_point<double>, boost::simple_point<double>&>, WeightMap =

   boost::detail::error_property_not_found,
   boost::detail::error_property_not_found&, size_t, boost::no_property,

Can you shed some light on this please.
