 """A script that loads a segmented cf graph in the gt format, iterates
 on all of the edges and cost functions and generates the trajectories
 as done in MATLAB. Segments (nodes) have a new vertex property called
-"traj" that holds the trajectory ID that that segment belongs to. The
+"traj_prop" that holds the trajectory ID that that segment belongs to. The
 output is either an expanded JSON file and/or an edgelist file with
 all of the trajectories.
