setNodeShapeRule: setNodeShapeRule

Description

Specify how data attributes -- the specified node attribute values -- determine the node shape.

Usage

setNodeShapeRule (obj, node.attribute.name=, attribute.values,
node.shapes, default.shape)

Arguments

obj

a CytoscapeWindowClass object.

node.attribute.name

the node attribute whose values will determine the shape of each node when this rule is applied.

attribute.values

A list of scalar, discrete values. For instance, molecule types: 'transporter', 'receptor', 'kinase'

node.shapes

A list of nodes selected from among those supported.

default.shape

A single String, the shape used if no explicit mapping is provided.

Value

None.

Examples

  # first, delete existing windows to save memory:
  deleteAllWindows(CytoscapeConnection())

  cw <- CytoscapeWindow ('setNodeShapeRule.test', graph=makeSimpleGraph())
  displayGraph (cw)
  layoutNetwork (cw, 'force-directed')
  shapes <- c("TRIANGLE", "ROUND_RECTANGLE", "ELLIPSE")
  molecule.types <- c("kinase", "transcription factor", "glycoprotein")
  setNodeShapeRule (cw, node.attribute.name='type', molecule.types, shapes)
