group attributes layout without partition

[sur00mx]

Hello,
I have a graph in Cytoscape 2.6.2 and I'd like to group all the nodes
with a particular value of an attribute. In older versions of
Cytoscape it was no problem but in this version it seems like the
algorithm first partitions the network and then applies the grouping
bye attributes value.

Does anyone knows if there is a way to avoid this pre-partitioning? I
tried in the settings option of the layout menu but couldn't figure
out a way to do it.

thanks in advance.

Hello,
          You can use the cytoscape filter option to select the nodes with the attribute value of your choice, keep the low bound and high bound values same and apply , your nodes will be selected, now you can drag the nodes and create your group.

Thanks Swaraj!
That worked nicely in my case since I had relatively few possible
values; however, it would be nice if there was a way to automate it.
Maybe someone knows a plugin that does it.
