Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [BGL] Kolmogorov max flow

Thank you Jereliah for your quick reply. I will try tomorrow and give you
the results. One more question : I compute for each edge its capacity, and
store the, for instance, in a std::vector. How can I set them to the
edge_capacity property ? Note that I can adapt my code to use another
container.

Regards,

Olivier
