Re: [igraph] GraphML RuntimeWarning

[Gianluca Della Vedova]

IMHO, as long as the two ids are the same, there is no need for a warning.

For instance, let consider the following snipped of graphml file.
<node id="n0">
      <data key="v_id">0</data>
      <data key="v_color">0</data>
    </node>

The <node> and the <data> ids are both 0, so it is ok to have an igraph
node with id=0. I would like a warning (or maybe an error) if the ids
are different as in:
<node id="n0">
      <data key="v_id">1</data>
      <data key="v_color">0</data>
    </node>

Best,
