EdgeListGraph

The EdgeListGraph concept refines the Graph concept, and adds the requirement for efficient access to all the edges in the graph.

Refinement of

Graph

Notation

G A type that is a model of EdgeListGraph.
g An object of type G.
e An object of type boost::graph_traits<G>::edge_descriptor.

Associated Types

boost::graph_traits<G>::traversal_category

This tag type must be convertible to edge_list_graph_tag. 
boost::graph_traits<G>::edge_iterator
An edge iterator (obtained via edges(g)) provides access to all of the edges in a graph. An edge iterator type must meet the requirements of MultiPassInputIterator. The value type of the edge iterator must be the same as the edge descriptor of the graph. 
boost::graph_traits<G>::edges_size_type
The unsigned integer type used to represent the number of edges in the graph.

Valid Expressions

edges(g) Returns an iterator-range providing access to all the edges in the graph g.
Return type: std::pair<edge_iterator, edge_iterator>
num_edges(g) Returns the number of edges in the graph g.
Return type: edges_size_type
source(e, g) Returns the vertex descriptor for u of the edge (u,v) represented by e.
Return type: vertex_descriptor
target(e, g) Returns the vertex descriptor for v of the edge (u,v) represented by e.
Return type: vertex_descriptor

Models

Complexity guarantees

The edges(), source(), and target() functions must all return in constant time.
