Hi Jeremiah Willcock,

Thanks for the reply. I think the const error was something else...

Let me ask you a couple of questions from bundled properties:

the prototype of get is, get(name_map, vertex_descriptor) right. But in the bundled properties documentation, it is written as get(&Highway::miles, map). How is it?
get(vertex_bundle, map), here what is vertex_bundle?

Thanks
suresh

The vecS, listS, ... tags specify how the vertices and edges of the graph are stored, not anything about properties. You cannot get to the property storage directly except using boost::get and boost::put (and some other ways for bundled properties).

That example uses bundled properties (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs/graph/doc/bundles.html) which remove the need for the operations you named.

A function defined as const, or taking the graph as const? What error do you get?
