Re: [igraph] problem with vertices

Hi Figa,

This is because vertices are always numbered from zero to N-1 if you
have N vertices. If you delete vertex I, then the vertices from vertex
I+1 will be renumbered so the range becomes continuous again. In
general, don't add new vertices or delete existing ones when you are
iterating over the vertices in a loop.

There's an easier way to do that:

g.es.select(weight_lt = threshold) selects the edges that have weight
under the given threshold. You can call g.delete_edges() directly on
this object:

g.delete_edges(g.es.select(weight_lt = threshold))

This can also be done with a similar trick:

g.vs.select(_degree = 0)

This gives you a VertexSeq that contains only the vertices with degree
zero. Then you can delete them straight away:

g.delete_vertices(g.vs.select(_degree = 0))
