Description

When you save a graph using writeGraph graph variables are not saved along with all the vertices and edges, so you can't fully recover the graph when you read the file.

In the forum there's a thread called "Saving graph variables to File" that will discuss the matter in details but basically "I understand the API should handle variables and persist then properly, probably adapting it as a vertex to be compliant to the format, but it should be transparent to the developer, something like neo4J does for multi-properties. IF the way they are written to the file were not good enough [for me] then I could be able to change it writting a custom writer/reader, but not the way around."
