defining a VisualStyle
Albert Cardona
I am new to programming with cytoscape as a library.
So far, I can create and visualize networks with specific
layouts--very simple, straightforward and pretty.
Are there any webpages documenting how to use VisualStyle, and what is
the general approach for defining different styles for specific nodes
and edges?
The CyNode class doesn't, by itself, seem to be the right point at
which to do any style editing.
The CyNetworkView may be obtained with a specific VisualStyle. The
VisualStyle is rather complex. Examples on how to use it or extend it
would be fantastic.
Thank you for any pointers.

I am not a programmer instead just a user. I need to change the edge visual style in BATCH (NOT INDIVIDUALLY on the network). I know that information on the edge types (or interaction types between nodes) exists in my .txt file. But I just don't know how to translate this information into visual styles, such as give a different colour to different edge types. Any help is more than welcome.
Don't forget: Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the page--that is the page I already found and that helped
me create and display a few networks.
The "How to use the VizMapper programmatically" section indeed
explains how to create a VisualStyle, but nowhere in it is indicated
how to alter what style is applied to what node.
Ideally, I'd like groups of nodes, where each node is colored distinctively.
Same for the edges: how to specify a few as arrows, and a few as mere lines?
Help appreciated very much for progressing in this direction.

You may map the edge attribute to visual property. Click VizMapper tab in the Control panel. Double click ‘Edge color’. Then you can map your interaction type to the color you want to.
