property_writer&lt;PropertyMap, OutputIterator, EventTag&gt;
</pre>
</H1>
This is an <a href="./EventVisitor.html">EventVisitor</a> that can be
used to output the property of a vertex or edge at some event-point
within an algorithm.
<p>
<tt>property_writer</tt> can be used with graph algorithms by
wrapping it with the algorithm-specific adaptor, such as <a
href="./bfs_visitor.html"><tt>bfs_visitor</tt></a> and <a
href="./dfs_visitor.html"><tt>dfs_visitor</tt></a>. Also, this event
visitor can be combined with other event visitors using
<tt>std::pair</tt> to form an EventVisitorList.
<h3>Example</h3>
The following is an excerpt from <a
href="../example/dave.cpp"><tt>examples/dave.cpp</tt></a>.
<pre>
std::ostream_iterator<int> cout_int(std::cout, " ");
std::ostream_iterator<char> cout_char(std::cout, " ");
boost::breadth_first_search
(G, vertex(a, G), make_bfs_visitor(
std::make_pair(write_property(name, cout_char, on_discover_vertex()),
std::make_pair(write_property(distance.begin(), cout_int,
on_discover_vertex()),
std::make_pair(print_edge(name, std::cout, on_examine_edge()),
print_endl(std::cout, on_finish_vertex()
))))));
