<H1>EventVisitor Concept</H1>
This concept defines the interface for single-event visitors. An
EventVisitor has an apply member function (<tt>operator()</tt>) which
is invoked within the graph algorithm at the event-point specified by
the <tt>event_filter</tt> typedef within the
EventVisitor. EventVisitor's can be combined into an <a
href="./EventVisitorList.html">EventVistorList</a>.
<p>
The following is the list of event tags that can be invoked in BGL
algorithms. Each tag corresponds to a member function of the visitor
for an algorithm. For example, the <a
href="./BFSVisitor.html">BFSVisitor</a> of <a
href="./breadth_first_search.html"><tt>breadth_first_search()</tt></a>
has a <tt>cycle_edge()</tt> member function. The corresponding tag is
<tt>on_cycle_edge</tt>. The first argument is the event visitor's
<tt>operator()</tt> must be either an edge or vertex descriptor
depending on the event tag.
