How To Init Vertex Values

How to initialize vertex values

Unfortunately I have not written a program to initialize vertex values. It is quite easy though:

• The vertex data is stored in one flat file. This file simply stores a binary array of the vertex values. So vertex j is stored as vertex-arrayj?.
• The filename can be retrieved programmatically: {{{ filename_vertex_data(graphname) }}}

So basically following program should do the trick (assuming your vertex-datatype is int):

     std::string filename = filename_vertex_data<int>("mygraph") 
     FILE*  f = fopen(filename.c_str(), "w");
     for(int i=0; i<numvertices; i++) {
        int value = vertex_value_of(i); // TODO 
        fwrite(&value, sizeof(int), 1, f);
     } 
     fclose(f);

This is not the fastest way to do it, but probably fast enough.

Java

In the Java-version, you can define vertex values by defining a self-edge in the edge list input format.
