how to write GraphViz subgraphs with boost::write_graphviz

问题

Is it possible to generate a DOT subgraph using ::boost::write_graphviz?

For instance, if I create a subgraph G0 in a graph G, can I get something like the following in the DOT output:

graph G {
  subgraph G0 {
    ...
  }
  ...
}

I finally figured out both how subgraphs work and how to use boost::write_graphviz to actually print these.

The first requirement is "semi-documented" in a comment in the boost library source code: requires graph_name property.

The most surprising requirement however seemed to be that detail::write_graphviz_subgraph assumes the presence of

vertex_attribute
edge_attribute
graph_vertex_attribute, graph_edge_attribute, graph_graph_attribute graph properties

properties. I'd think these requirements can be quite restrictive, because your graph type would look at least like this:

using Graph =
    adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, directedS, 
      property<vertex_attribute_t, GraphvizAttributes>,
      property<edge_index_t, int, property<edge_attribute_t, GraphvizAttributes> >,
      property<graph_name_t, std::string,
        property<graph_graph_attribute_t,  GraphvizAttributes,
        property<graph_vertex_attribute_t, GraphvizAttributes,
        property<graph_edge_attribute_t,   GraphvizAttributes>
      > > >
    >;

Anyways, it's nice to demonstrate how to use those to actually supply edge/node/(sub)graph attributes to Graphviz, of course:

template <typename SubGraph> SubGraph create_data()
{
    enum { A,B,C,D,E,F,N }; // main edges
    SubGraph main(N);

    SubGraph& sub1 = main.create_subgraph();
    SubGraph& sub2 = main.create_subgraph();

    auto A1 = add_vertex(A, sub1);
    auto B1 = add_vertex(B, sub1);

    auto E2 = add_vertex(E, sub2);
    auto C2 = add_vertex(C, sub2);
    auto F2 = add_vertex(F, sub2);

    add_edge(A1, B1, sub1);
    add_edge(E2, F2, sub2);
    add_edge(C2, F2, sub2);

    add_edge(E, B, main);
    add_edge(B, C, main);
    add_edge(B, D, main);
    add_edge(F, D, main);

    // setting some graph viz attributes
    get_property(main, graph_name) = "G0";
    get_property(sub1, graph_name) = "clusterG1";
    get_property(sub2, graph_name) = "clusterG2";

    get_property(sub1, graph_graph_attribute)["label"]              = "G1";
    /*extra*/get_property(sub1, graph_vertex_attribute)["shape"]    = "Mrecord";

    get_property(sub2, graph_graph_attribute)["label"]              = "G2";
    /*extra*/get_property(sub1, graph_vertex_attribute)["color"]    = "red";
    /*extra*/get_property(sub2, graph_graph_attribute)["fillcolor"] = "lightgray";
    /*extra*/get_property(sub2, graph_graph_attribute)["style"]     = "filled";
    /*extra*/get_property(sub2, graph_vertex_attribute)["shape"]    = "circle";

    return main;
}

That's with

int main() {
#ifdef GENERATE_RANDOM_GRAPHS
    auto g = generate_random<subgraph<Graph> >();
#else
    auto g = create_data<subgraph<Graph> >();
#endif

    for (auto vd : make_iterator_range(vertices(g))) {
        put(get(vertex_attribute, g), vd, 
                GraphvizAttributes{
                    {"label", name_for_index(vd)}
                });
    }

    write_graphviz(std::cout, g);
}

I've also implemented generate_random for my own testing and understanding, and it generates graphs like:
