AdjacencyGraph
</H2>
The AdjacencyGraph concept provides and interface for efficient access
of the adjacent vertices to a vertex in a graph. This is quite similar
to the <a href="./IncidenceGraph.html">IncidenceGraph</a> concept (the
target of an out-edge is an adjacent vertex). Both concepts are
provided because in some contexts there is only concern for the
vertices, whereas in other contexts the edges are also important.

An adjacency iterator for a vertex <i>v</i> provides access to the
vertices adjacent to <i>v</i>. As such, the value type of an
adjacency iterator is the vertex descriptor type of its graph. An
adjacency iterator must meet the requirements of <a
href="../../utility/MultiPassInputIterator.html">MultiPassInputIterator</a>.

<h3>Design Rationale</h3>
The AdjacencyGraph concept is somewhat frivolous since <a
href="./IncidenceGraph.html">IncidenceGraph</a> really covers the same
functionality (and more). The AdjacencyGraph concept exists because
there are situations when <tt>adjacent_vertices()</tt> is more
convenient to use than <tt>out_edges()</tt>. If you are constructing a
graph class and do not want to put in the extra work of creating an
adjacency iterator, have no fear. There is an adaptor class named <a
href="./adjacency_iterator.html"> <tt>adjacency_iterator</tt></a> that
you can use to create an adjacency iterator out of an out-edge
iterator.
<h3>Notes</h3>
<a name="1">[1]</a> The case of a
<I>multigraph</I> (where multiple edges can connect the same two
vertices) brings up an issue as to whether the iterators returned by
the <TT>adjacent_vertices()</TT> function access a range that
includes each adjacent vertex once, or whether it should match the
behavior of the <TT>out_edges()</TT> function, and access a
range that may include an adjacent vertex more than once. For now the
behavior is defined to match that of <TT>out_edges()</TT>,
though this decision may need to be reviewed in light of more
experience with graph algorithm implementations.
