Once again cc-ing -cafe; Immanuel, can you please do "reply to all" rather than just "reply" in GMail? :p

For example, mkNode assumes node labels are unique. >> Furthemore, the way of using it seems to be analogous of how one would use a >> State monad >> rather than for actual interactive use throughout. >> > > Could you elaborate this further, please. http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/fgl/5.4.2.3/doc/html/Data-Graph-Inductive-NodeMap.html#v%3Arun and http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/fgl/5.4.2.3/doc/html/Data-Graph-Inductive-NodeMap.html#v%3Arun_ If you just want a mapping from labels to nodes, you may be better off using your own custom Map (and maybe even defining a new graph type that has such a Map as part of it). The successor to FGL-5.x (whatever we'll end up calling it) will allow you to have custom node types rather than using Ints. However, this will not work for you in this situation. The node type is just an _index_ type, analogous to the actual hash value in a hash{map,array} (as opposed to the value which has the hashing function applied upon it). It's there to provide a unique identifier for a particular node. Arguably, an abstract type would be even better as an Int as it will prevent you from doing silly things like adding node indices together, but that's beside the point. If you wish to find a node with a specific label, try using something like gsel: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/fgl/5.4.2.3/doc/html/Data-Graph-Inductive-Basic.html#v%3Agsel -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
