    distance_recorder<DistanceMap, EventTag>

This is an EventVisitor that records the distance of a vertex (using a property map) from some source vertex during a graph search. When applied to edge e = (u,v), the distance of v is recorded to be one more than the distance of u. The distance recorder is typically used with the `on_tree_edge` or `on_relax_edge` events, and cannot be used with vertex events.

`distance_recorder` can be used with graph algorithms by wrapping it with the algorithm specific adaptor, such as `bfs_visitor` and `dfs_visitor`. Also, this event visitor can be combined with other event visitors using `std::pair` to form an EventVisitorList.

### Example

See the example for `bfs_visitor`.

### Model of

EventVisitor

### Where Defined

`boost/graph/visitors.hpp`

### Template Parameters

Parameter | Description | Default
--- | --- | ---
`DistanceMap` | A WritablePropertyMap, where the key type and the value type are the vertex descriptor type of the graph. |
`EventTag` | The tag to specify when the `distance_recorder` should be applied during the graph algorithm. `EventTag` must be an edge event. |

## Associated Types

Type | Description
--- | ---
`distance_recorder::event_filter` | This will be the same type as the template parameter `EventTag`.

### Member Functions

Member | Description
--- | ---
`distance_recorder(DistanceMap pa);` | Construct a distance recorder object with distance property map `pa`.
`template <class Edge, class Graph> void operator()(Edge e, const Graph& g);` | Given edge e = (u,v), this records the distance of v as one plus the distance of u.

### Non-Member Functions

Function | Description
--- | ---
`template <class DistanceMap, class Tag> distance_recorder<DistanceMap, Tag> record_distances(DistanceMap pa, Tag);` | A convenient way to create a `distance_recorder`.
