Hi Christopher, the default behavior of add_edge is to create the missing vertices. If you specify a number instead of a vertex object, i.e. 10, all the missing vertices up to id 10 will be created. So, either you create all the vertices up to the maximum long N in your file, using add_vertex(N) as initialization (I used this solution for a recent project with millions of vertices), or you should map your longs to a normalized interval (in case you have sparse ids) and then use a PropertyMap to store their original value.

Hi,
I have a huge graph saved in a text file as an edge list. i.e., "node_id_v, node_id_w". As the node IDs are very large I have to use "long()" to convert "node_id_v" to a number. Therefore, I run in trouble when passing those longs to "add_edge()".
Is there a workaround?
