Sorry, I though you just wanted to entirely preclude graphs with parallel edges. So given a graph that does have parallel edges you want to remove, it sounds like you need an algorithm to search for and catalog them (a visitor of some sort, not sure which because I don't know the semantics of your graph). Perhaps such an algorithm exists already in the library. I can't comment directly because I haven't had to solve this problem in my own work (yet). My idea is to use a visitor to locate the edges that meet your criteria, store them in some external STL container, and then when the algorithm returns, you can enumerate the container and remove the edges (don't be a silly fool like I was earlier this week and start removing edges in the visitor code).

The section pointed out says to use a set instead of list if you don't want parallel edges. I guess I was hoping to have parallel edge removal using a list (insertion/deletion consideration appear to make the list a better choice for me).

Saw that... didn't help. Too many program fragments and not enough complete code examples IMHO. I guess I'll just have to figure it out the hard way.

Arthur,

see the following:

I'm trying to use this graph class without detailed reading. I can't find a decent, clear example of doing this. I have a simple graph:

typedef adjacency_list Graph;

What do I do to prevent parallel edges to be inserted?

Thanks for any help offered, Arthur
