Provide vertex-mapping parameter to boost::graph::copy_graph

Question

The boost function boost::graph::copy_graph

 template <class VertexListGraph, class MutableGraph>  void
 copy_graph(const VertexListGraph& G, MutableGraph& G_copy,
     const bgl_named_params<P, T, R>& params = all defaults)

lists in its parameter description UTIL/OUT: orig_to_copy(Orig2CopyMap c) which is a mapping from vertices in copy to vertices in original. I need this mapping!

(scroll to bottom on http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/graph/doc/copy_graph.html)

How can I access/provide this last parameter orig_to_copy? Can you give a code example, ie complete this code for me?

void doSomething(graph_t& g){
  graph_t g_copy;
  copy_graph(g, g_copy, [...???...]);
  // here I would like to access the Orig2CopyMap
}

Something like this:

typedef boost::graph_traits<graph_t>::vertex_descriptor vertex_t;
typedef boost::property_map<graph_t, boost::vertex_index_t>::type index_map_t;

//for simple adjacency_list<> this type would be more efficient:
typedef boost::iterator_property_map<typename std::vector<vertex_t>::iterator,
    index_map_t,vertex_t,vertex_t&> IsoMap;

//maps vertices of g to vertices of g_copy
std::vector<vertex_t> isoValues( num_vertices(g));    
IsoMap mapV( isoValues.begin());

boost::copy_graph( g, g_copy, boost::orig_to_copy(mapV) ); //means g_copy += g
