This class can be used with the <a
href="./adjacency_list.html"><tt>adjacency_list</tt></a> and the <a
href="./adjacency_matrix.html"><tt>adjacency_matrix</tt></a> classes
to specify what kind of properties should be attached to the vertices
and edges of the graph, and to the graph object itself.
<h3>Synopsis</h3>
<pre>
namespace boost {
template &lt;class Tag, class T, class NextProperty = no_property&gt;
struct property : public NextProperty {
typedef NextProperty next_type;
typedef Tag tag_type;
typedef T value_type;
property();
property(const T&amp; v);
property(const T&amp; v, const NextProperty&amp; b);
// copy constructor and assignment operator will be generated by compiler
T m_value;
};
}
</pre>
<h3>Template Parameters</h3>

<th>Parameter</th><th>Description</th><th>Default</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>PropertyTag</tt></td>
<td>A type to identify (give a unique name to) the property. There are
several predefined tags, and it is easy to add more. For convenience,
BGL also provides predefined objects of the tag types (enum values)
for use as arguments to functions that expect property tag objects
(such as <tt>adjacency_list</tt>'s <a
href="./adjacency_list.html#property-map-accessors"> property map
accessor</a> functions). </td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>T</tt></td>
<td> This type specifies the type of the property values. </td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>NextProperty</tt></td>
<td>This parameter allows <tt>property</tt> types to be
nested, so that an arbitrary number of properties can be attached to
the same graph.</td>
<td><tt>no_property</tt></td>
</tr>

<h3>Where Defined</h3>
<a href="../../../boost/pending/property.hpp"><tt>boost/pending/property.hpp</tt></a>
<hr>
<H3>Associated Types</H3>
<pre>
next_type
</pre>
The <tt>NextProperty</tt> type parameter.
<pre>
tag_type
</pre>
The <tt>Tag</tt> type parameter.
<pre>
value_type
</pre>
The <tt>T</tt> type parameter.
<hr>
<H3>Member Functions</H3>
<pre>
property()
</pre>
Construct a property object with member <tt>m_value</tt> a default
constructed instance of type <tt>T</tt> and with the super object
default constructed. Note that <tt>T</tt> must be Default
Constructible for this property, and all the inherited property types.
<hr>
<pre>
property(const T& v)
</pre>
Construct a property object with member <tt>m_value</tt> a copy
of <tt>v</tt>.
<hr>
<pre>
property(const T& v, const NextProperty& b)
</pre>
Construct a property object with member <tt>m_value</tt> a copy
of <tt>v</tt> and whose super class <tt>NextProperty</tt> is
constructed from <tt>b</tt>.
<hr>
<h3>Property Tags</h3>
The following property tags are defined in
<tt>boost/graph/properties.hpp</tt>.
