<p>The METIS reader provides an iterator interface to the METIS graph
file. The iterator interface is most useful when constructing Parallel
BGL graphs on-the-fly. For instance, the following code builds a graph
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">g</span></tt> from a METIS graph stored in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">argv[1]</span></tt>.</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
std::ifstream in_graph(argv[1]);
metis_reader reader(in_graph);
Graph g(reader.begin(), reader.end(),
reader.weight_begin(),
reader.num_vertices());
</pre>
<p>The calls to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">begin()</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">end()</span></tt> return an iterator range for
the edges in the graph; the call to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">weight_begin()</span></tt> returns an
iterator that will enumerate the weights of the edges in the
graph. For a distributed graph, the distribution will be determined
automatically by the graph; to use a METIS partitioning, see the
section <a class="reference internal" href="#partition-reader">Partition Reader</a>.</p>
