This concept defines the visitor interface for <a
href="./dijkstra_shortest_paths.html"><tt>dijkstra_shortest_paths()</tt></a>
and related algorithms. The user can create a class that matches this
interface, and then pass objects of the class into
<tt>dijkstra_shortest_paths()</tt> to augment the actions taken during
the search.
<h3>Refinement of</h3>
<a href="../../utility/CopyConstructible.html">Copy Constructible</a>

<tr>
<th>Name</th><th>Expression</th><th>Return Type</th><th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Initialize Vertex</td>
<td><tt>vis.initialize_vertex(u, g)</tt></td>
<td><tt>void</tt></td>
<td>
This is invoked one each vertex of the graph when it is initialized.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Examine Vertex</td>
<td><tt>vis.examine_vertex(u, g)</tt></td>
<td><tt>void</tt></td>
<td>
This is invoked on a vertex as it is popped from the queue. This
happens immediately before <tt>examine_edge()</tt> is invoked
on each of the out-edges of vertex <tt>u</tt>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Examine Edge</td>
<td><tt>vis.examine_edge(e, g)</tt></td>
<td><tt>void</tt></td>
<td>
This is invoked on every out-edge of each vertex after it is discovered.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Discover Vertex</td>
<td><tt>vis.discover_vertex(u, g)</tt></td>
<td><tt>void</tt></td>
<td>
This is invoked when a vertex is encountered for the first time.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Edge Relaxed</td>
<td><tt>vis.edge_relaxed(e, g)</tt></td>
<td><tt>void</tt></td>
<td>
Upon examination, if the following condition holds then the edge
is relaxed (its distance is reduced), and this method is invoked.<br>
<tt>
tie(u,v) = incident(e, g);<br>
D d_u = get(d, u), d_v = get(d, v);<br>
W w_e = get(w, e);<br>

</tt>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Edge Not Relaxed</td>
<td><tt>vis.edge_not_relaxed(e, g)</tt></td>
<td><tt>void</tt></td>
<td>
Upon examination, if the edge is not relaxed (see above) then
this method is invoked.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Finish Vertex</td>
<td><tt>vis.finish_vertex(u, g)</tt></td>
<td><tt>void</tt></td>
<td>
This invoked on a vertex after all of its out edges have been added to the
search tree and all of the adjacent vertices have been discovered
(but before their out-edges have been examined).

<h3>Models</h3>

<h3>Python</h3>
To implement a model of the <tt>DijkstraVisitor</tt> concept in Python,
create a new class that derives from the <tt>DijkstraVisitor</tt> type of
the graph, which will be
named <tt><i>GraphType</i>.DijkstraVisitor</tt>. The events and syntax are
the same as with visitors in C++. Here is an example for the
Python <tt>bgl.Graph</tt> graph type:
<pre>
class count_tree_edges_dijkstra_visitor(bgl.Graph.DijkstraVisitor):
def __init__(self, name_map):
bgl.Graph.DijkstraVisitor.__init__(self)
self.name_map = name_map
def edge_relaxed(self, e, g):
(u, v) = (g.source(e), g.target(e))
print "Relaxed edge ",
print self.name_map[u],
print " -> ",
print self.name_map[v]
</pre>
