Re: [igraph] timestep plotting

Vincent, 

there is no direct support for this. For some graphs it is easy as you
know the order of the edges added. Eg. for barabasi.game outgoing edges from
vertex j were added later than outgoing edges of vertex i if j>i. 

Each network generation function would need some change to support it. And
also it is not very easy to implement it. The current graph data structure
stores edges simply according to the order of their addition but this is not
part of the specification so you cannot assume it. I'll think about it,
please remind me in a week or so. :)

Btw. for which functions do you need this?
