Tools panel usage

[R R]

I want to use the tools panel,may be creating tabs for my plugin..I went through cytopanels tutorials and went throu this

 

"CytoPanels: CytoPanel 1 ('Control' appears on the left), CytoPanel 2 ('Data' appears on the bottom), and CytoPanel 3 ('Results' appears on the right). By default, only the Control CytoPanel will appear, and it will automatically contain the network list and bird's eye view component. The other panels will be hidden. "

 

so what number its for tools panel,so that i can write the code and use the tools panel.For eg

CytoPanel cytopanel = Cytoscape.getDesktop().getCytoPanel(3);

this line will help me to do thing with results panel,so how abt tools panel??

 

Hope I am explaining it clearly

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

The document you cited is old. Instead of 1,2,3, we now use the words, SOUTH, EAST and WEST to represent the location of cytopanel. And each panel got a name, i.e. Control Panel, Data Panel and Result Panel. You can look at a sample plugin “How to add a tabbed Panel to Control panel?” at http://cytoscape.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/plugin_developer_tutorial .

 

Hope this helps,

Thanks Peng that was a valuable information.But I want to know about the tools panel..Whenever you create a network,in the layout menu we have options such as rotate,scale,align and distribute clicking anyone of them will give me the tools panel below the control..so if i want to create tabs in that panel what keyword should i use????

 

Thanks
