Hello all and happy new year!

Im trying to modify the brandes centrality in order to analyse only a subset

of the graph based on a cutoff distance calculated by some 

other edge weight than the one used for the brandes call.

What I have done so far is to add a shortest path search call before the main

path search inside brandes_betweenness_centrality_impl.

The first search uses the edge::m_metric_weight and constructs the distance map

from 's' based on that weight.

Then I feed the metric distance map in the 'brandes special visitor' and I

check inside visitor's examine_vertex. Reminder that the brandes 

call uses the m_special_weight.

While this works as a principle I have no idea how people with experience

would do it!

A problem with this is that while the metric cutoff can be small you still run

both searches to the max (as if there is no cutoff).

Any help on how to change the first 'dijkstra_shortest_paths' so that after

reaching the cutoff the search stops gracefully and leaves the 

rest of the 'distance_map' to infinity?

Thanks a lot and please let me know if something need more clarification.
