Hi John,

Gobject is just the variable that is assigned either the new "graphNEL" 
object or the graph G (a matrix of "TRUE" and "FALSE" values) that is 
coerced into a "graphNEL" object. I guess if I had to translate it into 
Java pseudocode it would look something like this:

Graph Gobject = G.sum() == 0 ? new Graph(nnms) : (Graph) G;

How would one translate that into Julia?

Here is my fumbling attempt:

typealias RGraph GenericGraph{Int,IEdge,Range1{Int},Vector{IEdge},Vector{
Vector{IEdge}}}

if sum(G) == 0
Gobject(n::Integer; is_directed::Bool=true) =

    RGraph(is_directed,  
                1:int(n),  # vertices
                IEdge[],   # edges 
                multivecs(IEdge, n), # finclist
                multivecs(IEdge, n)) # binclist
else
   convert(RGraph, G)
   Gobject = G


If you see any errors in the code above or can think of simpler ways to express 
it, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks.
