How to export all graph data including position info from cytoscape js graph?

[sl yls]

I created cytoscape js graphs for my project, but some graphs is too complex to elegantly display. I am thinking whether we can ask people to layout the graph manually and save this graph. My problem is how can we export human manually layout graph? Is anyone who have a good idea? Thanks.

Here is how:

1. Load your network into Cytoscape 3.1.1 (or 3.2.0 nightly build)
2. Apply layout, move nodes, edit styles, etc.
3. Select File-->Export --> Network and View...
4. Select .cyjs format and name your file
5. Press OK.

This generates a Cytoscape.js-readable JSON file including (x, y)
position of nodes. Optionally, you can export Visual Styles into a
JSON file and use it with the network JSON.

By the way, if you need to export multiple network JSON files at once,
you can use Cytoscape 3.2.0 nightly build and use "Export as
Interactive Web Visualization" option:

This generates web application from your networks. And in data
folder, it has all of your networks in Cytoscape.js-style JSON.

OR, you can use cyREST:

http://apps.cytoscape.org/apps/cyrest


Install it from the App store and access the following URL using
node.js, python, R, curl, web browser, etc.

http://localhost:1234/v1/networks.json

This generates array of your networks in Cytoscape.js compatible JSON.


Note that both options require Java 7.

Thanks Kei for your reply, but my question is how to export data from graph in my web graph which was made via cytoscape js library (not cytoscape software). I want to export all node, edge data and their position in the graph.

That's simpler:

http://js.cytoscape.org/#core/export/cy.json

And this JSON can be used in BOTH cytoscape.js and Cytoscape desktop.
