Save an xml file into Resource directory and Apply Force-Directed Layout in the network.

[pritam saha]

Hello Everyone, 

1. I am trying to edit an XML file that is in the resource directory and save it there. I am not able to find any particular method to do it. 
2. I am trying to apply a Force-Directed Layout to my network. I can use a grid layout algorithm for the network. The code which I am using is given below: https://github.com/cannin/causalpath_cytoscape_app/blob/41c8be4f5467e52ef2287562563fec10c3036e0a/casualpath-cytoscape-app/src/main/java/org/cytoscape/sample/internal/utils/CyNetworkUtils.java#L81

     I am not able to figure out what should be the command for applying this algorithm. 

Please help me out on these two issues.

Thanks,

Pritam Saha

Hi,

For question #1 are you asking about saving properties for your app? If so, this might be helpful: 

http://wikiold.cytoscape.org/Cytoscape_3/AppDeveloper/Cytoscape_3_App_Cookbook#How_to_use_CyProperty_to_save_values_across_sessions.3F

For question #2 the value after 'layout' is the name of the layout algorithm. In the example code you linked to, try replacing 'grid' with 'force-directed'

hope this helps,

chris

Thanks, Chris for your help. 

For question #1, I was trying to edit the XML file which contains some style for the app. I will try the answer you have shared.

For question # 2, It worked. Thank you for the command.

Regards,

Pritam

Hi,

Oh you mean the xml file relating to styles. Here is some information about importing and exporting style xml files in Cytoscape:

http://manual.cytoscape.org/en/stable/Styles.html#managing-styles

For programmatic ways to load styles look at this section in the cookbook:

Thank you again Chris for the resources. 

I have also found the same link for programmatically loading the style. and have been able to start with it
