Layout code

[Russ]

Howdy,
Just a trivial query, really. When I set up new networks in cytoscape
(programmatically) all the nodes get added on top of each other. I
can't find the code that allows me to set a network layout, for
example I'd like find the code that imposes the GridLayout to a
network.

Kind regards

Hi Russ,
If you want to look at the GridLayout code, it's in
src/cytoscape/layout/algorithms/GridNodeLayout.java. However, I think
what you really want to do is to just call that from your plugin. To do
that, you would do the following:

CyLayoutAlgorithm gridLayout = CyLayouts.getLayout("grid");
gridLayout.doLayout(myNetworkView);

Similarly, you can use any of the other Cytoscape layouts in the same
way. For example:

CyLayoutAlgorithm forceLayout = CyLayouts.getLayout("force-directed");
forceLayout.doLayout(myNetworkView);

Cheers Scooter, you knew what I was trying to ask better than I did.
