Hi, I want to add a ‘weight’ edge attribute with weights ranging from 1 to 100 (values that fit in an unsigned char). In order to save some space, I would like to store those weights in an uint8_t instead of int16_t. The uint8_t is accessible through the ‘bool’ type name for the Property Maps.
- I checked that serializing and de-serializing ‘bool’ type names with values in the range [1-100] works fine. - I also checked that running PageRank using the ‘weight’ edge property gives the same result whether the weights ([1-100]) are stored as type ‘bool’ or type ‘int16_t’. My question is it safe to assume that it will always work. Do some of the algorithms check the type name of the property and seeing ‘bool’, those algorithms could decide to use true/false values rather than an integer in range [0-255]. Thanks for any feedback, Didier _______________________________________________ graph-tool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.skewed.de/mailman/listinfo/graph-tool
