<H1>EventVisitor Concept</H1>
This concept defines the interface for single-event visitors. The
visitor has a single apply member function (<tt>operator()</tt>).
This function is invoked within the graph algorithm at the event-point
specified by the <tt>event_filter</tt> typedef within the
EventVisitor. 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.
<pre>
namespace boost {
struct on_initialize_vertex { };
struct on_start_vertex { };
struct on_discover_vertex { };
struct on_examine_edge { };
struct on_tree_edge { };
struct on_cycle_edge { };
struct on_finish_vertex { };
struct on_forward_or_cross_edge { };
struct on_back_edge { };
struct on_edge_relaxed { };
struct on_edge_not_relaxed { };
struct on_edge_minimized { };
struct on_edge_not_minimized { };
} // namespace boost
</pre>
<h3>Creating an EventVisitorList</h3>
Often times one would like to use multiple single-event vistors in a
call to a particular algorithm. In the following example we will show
how to combine event visitors into a list using <tt>std::pair</tt> and
the algorithm's visitor adaptor class.
<p>
Suppose we would like to print out the parenthesis
structure of the discover/finish times of vertices in a <a
href="./graph_theory_review.html#sec:dfs-algorithm">depth-first
search</a>. We can use the BGL algorithm <a
href="./depth_first_search.html"><tt>depth_first_search()</tt></a> and
two event visitors to accomplish this. The complete source code for
the following example is in <a href="../examples/dfs_parenthesis.cpp">
<tt>examples/dfs_parenthesis.cpp</tt></a>. First we define the two
event visitors. We use <tt>on_discover_vertex</tt> and
<tt>on_finish_vertex</tt> as the event points, selected from the list
of event points specified in <a
href="./DFSVisitor.html">DFSVisitor</a>.
<pre>
struct open_paren : public base_visitor&lt;open_paren&gt; {
typedef on_discover_vertex event_filter;
template &lt;class Vertex, class Graph&gt;
void operator()(Vertex v, Graph& G) {
std::cout &lt;&lt; "(" &lt;&lt; v;
}
};
struct close_paren : public base_visitor&lt;close_paren&gt; {
typedef on_finish_vertex event_filter;
template &lt;class Vertex, class Graph&gt;
void operator()(Vertex v, Graph& G) {
std::cout &lt;&lt; v &lt;&lt; ")";
}
};
</pre>
Next we create two event visitor objects and make an EventVisitorList
out of them using a <tt>std::pair</tt> which created by
<tt>std::make_pair</tt>.
<pre>
std::make_pair(open_paren(), close_paren())
</pre>
Next we want to pass this list into <tt>depth_first_search()</tt>, but
<tt>depth_first_search()</tt> is expecting a <a
href="./DFSVisitor.html">DFSVisitor</a>, not a EventVisitorList. We
therefore use the <a
href="./dfs_visitor.html"><tt>dfs_visitor</tt></a> adaptor which turns
an EventVisitor list into a DFSVisitor. Like all of the visitor
adaptors, <tt>dfs_visitor</tt> has a creation function called
<tt>make_dfs_visitor()</tt>.
<pre>
make_dfs_visitor(std::make_pair(open_paren(), close_paren()))
</pre>
Now we can pass the resulting visitor object into
<tt>depth_first_search()</tt> as follows.
<pre>
// graph object G is created ...
std::vector&lt;default_color_type&gt; color(num_vertices(G));
depth_first_search(G, make_dfs_visitor(std::make_pair(open_paren(), close_paren())),
color.begin());
</pre>
