Added vertex property inspectors.

doc/source/vertex_edge.rst

@@ -101,6 +101,50 @@ Both edge types implement the following methods:
 
 A custom edge type ``E{V}`` which is constructible by ``E(index::Int, s::V, t::V)`` and implements the above methods is usable in the ``VectorIncidenceList`` parametric type.  Construct such a list with ``inclist(V,E{V})``, where E and V are your vertex and edge types.  See test/inclist.jl for an example.
 
+Vertex Properties
+---------------
+
+Many algorithms use a property of an vertex such as amount of a
+resource provided or required by that vertex as input. As the
+algorithms do not mandate any structure for the vertex types, these
+vertex properties can be passed through to the algorithm by an
+``VertexPropertyInspector``.  An ``VertexPropertyInspector`` when
+passed to the ``vertex_property`` method along with an vertex and a
+graph, will return that property of an vertex.
+
+All vertex property inspectors should be declared as a subtype of
+``AbstractVertexPropertyInspector{T}`` where ``T`` is the type of the
+vertex property.  The vertex propery inspector should respond to the
+following methods.
+
+.. py::function:: vertex_property(i, e, g)
+
+  returns the vertex property of vertex ``v`` in graph ``g`` selected by
+  inspector ``i``.
+
+.. py::function:: vertex_property_requirement(i, g)
+
+  checks that graph ``g`` implements the interface(s) necessary for
+  inspector ``i``
+
+Three vertex property inspectors are provided
+``ConstantVertexPropertyInspector``, ``VectorVertexPropertyInspector`` and
+``AttributeVertexPropertyInspector``.
+
+``ConstantVertexPropertyInspector(c)`` constructs an vertex property
+inspector that returns the constant ``c`` for each vertex.
+
+``VectorVertexPropertyInspector(vec)`` constructs an vertex property
+inspector that returns ``vec[vertex_index(v, g)]``.  It requires that
+``g`` implement the ``vertex_map`` interface.
+
+``FunctionVertexPropertyInspector(func)``  constructs an vertex property
+inspector that returns the result of ``func(v)`` from an ``ExVertex``.
+``AttributeVertexPropertyInspector`` requires that the graph implements
+the ``vertex_map`` interface.
