Hi, you can iterate over the vertices, but it'll be probably slow. The best solution is to create the graph directly from the data frame(s) containing all structure and attribute data. See the graph.data.frame() function for this.
Btw. it might be worth to post your igraph related questions to the igraph-help mailing list if you don't get an answer here, (sadly) I am not reading R-help frequently any more. See http://igraph.sf.net.
