fill color by xx_surfaceome_cc

[bilc...@gmail.com]

Dear cytoscape,

I would like to "fill color" of nodes in a BinGO network by the nr of genes in a GO-term/node, but I can only choose the columns fixed by the developers, is there a way to 'unfix' this and choose whichever column in the node table?

Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
Freddy

Hi Freddy,

The short answer is "yes", but due to some unfortunate features of
BinGO it isn't easy. Basically the reason you can't use the xx_1 column
is that BinGO writes that column as a String, not a number. What you
need to do is to create a new column (of type Integer) and use the
equation builder (the f(x) in the tool bar) to create the equation
"=VALUE(xx_1)". That will take the contents of column xx_1 and convert
it to a number. You can then use that column to set the color.

Dear Scooter,

Thanks! That works!
Gives me more insight in how 'strict' input can be as well.
