<H2><A NAME="concept:VertexListGraph">
VertexListGraph
</H2>

The <I>VertexListGraph</I> concept refines the <a
href="./AdjacencyGraph.html">AdjacencyGraph</a> concept, and adds the
requirement for efficient traversal of all the vertices in the graph.

<H3>Refinement of</H3>

<H3>Associated Types</H3>

<Table border>

<TR>
<TD><tt>boost::graph_traits&lt;G&gt;::vertex_iterator</tt><br><br>
A vertex iterator (obtained via <TT>vertices(g)</TT>) provides access
to all of the vertices in a graph.  A vertex iterator type must meet
the requirements of <a
href="../../utility/MultiPassInputIterator.html">MultiPassInputIterator</a>. The
value type of the vertex iterator must be the vertex descriptor of the
graph.
</TD>
</TR>

<tr>
<td><tt>boost::graph_traits&lt;G&gt;::vertices_size_type</tt><br><br>
The unsigned integer type used to represent the number of vertices
in the graph.

<H3>Design Rationale</H3>

One issue in the design of this concept is whether to include the
refinement from the <a href="./IncidenceGraph.html">IncidenceGraph</a>
and <a href="./AdjacencyGraph.html">AdjacencyGraph</a> concepts.  The
ability to traverse the vertices of a graph is orthogonal to
traversing out-edges, so it would make sense to have a VertexListGraph
concept that only includes vertex traversal. However, such a concept
would no longer really be a graph, but would just be a set, and the
STL already has concepts for dealing with such things. However, there
are many BGL algorithms that need to traverse the vertices and
out-edges of a graph, so for convenience a concept is needed that
groups these requirements together, hence the VertexListGraph concept.
