i looked around and found that there are ways to get the name of vertex if i have a vertex_descriptor
but how can i get a vertex_descriptor given the vertex_name
there are only three ops defined on property_map :- get,put,iterator;
is there any other way to get the key from value other than iterating through all the pairs
in property_map & matching each pair.second with vertex_name?
pardon me if it is a basic thing, i just cant able to get at it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is a fairly well-known shortcoming of the library. There is a class called named_graph that helps support this feature, but it is not undocumented, and appears to rely on the use of bundled properties. There are some examples in the trunk in libs/graph_parallel/test.
