This is the traits class that produces the type for a <a
href="../../property_map/doc/property_map.html">property map</a> object
for a particular graph type. The property is specified by the <a
href="./PropertyTag.html">PropertyTag</a> template parameter.  Graph classes
must specialize this traits class to provide their own implementation
for property maps.

<pre>
  template &lt;class Graph, class PropertyTag&gt;
  struct property_map {
    typedef ... type;
    typedef ... const_type;
  };
</pre>

<td>Map Type</td>
<td><TT>type</TT> </td>
<td>
The (mutable) property map type for mapping vertex or edge desriptors of
the graph to their associated property values, where the property is
specified by <tt>PropertyTag</tt>. This type is a <a
href="../../property_map/doc/property_map.html">property map</a>.

<tr>
<td>Const Map Type</td>
<td><TT>const_type</TT> </td>
<td>
The (non-mutable) property map type for mapping vertex or edge
desriptors of the graph to their associated property values, where the
property is specified by <tt>PropertyTag</tt>. This type is a <a
href="../../property_map/doc/property_map.html">property map</a>.
