Version 6.0.0 has just been released! It introduces a number of new features, mostly related to
automatic layout and link drawing and layout helper tools.
Of particular note is the new overlay-driven layout feature. The user can create a high-level organization of the network using a network overlay containing a set of network modules and module links. After adding nodes to the modules, the system will automatically create a layout conforming to the specified organization.
Other new features include:
* Link geometry repair and diagonal link cleanup tools.
* New stacked layout strategy.
* Ability to layout only selected items.
* Ability to layout single regions.
* New comma-separated value (CSV) file export features, one for perturbation data and the other for build instructions.
* Passthrough search, which can find terminal gene sources and targets by passing through intermediate non-gene nodes.
* Enhanced navigation and zoom for selected network objects, allowing the user to zoom in to each selection, one-by-one.
* The ability to embed, and interact with, the BioTapestry Viewer as a visualization component in a larger Java program.
* Geometry repair and diagonal cleanup tools for network module links (i.e. part of network overlays).
* Improved mouse-click behavior.
* Bug fixes
The Version 6 Release Notes provide complete details.
Enjoy! Please post here if you have questions or comments.
