Display graph (net) in a window to visualize it with Eclipse

[Franktwis]

Hi all,
I'm new of this forum and for Cytoscape programming.
I'm developing a plugin that create a net and visualize it using datas
taken from an excel file.
The code open excel files and use functions like:
Cytoscape.getCyNode("yellow", true); cyNetwork.addNode(node0); to
build the net.
Now, I followed instructions to add a Visual Style including in my
project the class MyPluginAction (I use Eclipse):

- I created a new class called MyPluginAction (is the class of the
example Tutorial14)
- I call in my .class:
MyPluginAction action = new MyPluginAction(this);
Cytoscape.getDesktop().getCyMenus().addCytoscapeAction
((CytoscapeAction) action);
is it correct?

This doesn't work on Eclipse. When compiled, the net is created but
nothing more happens. The question is: i'm wrong or Eclipse can't
display this graph because it can be done only by Cytoscape?
thanks for reading

Hi Franktwis,

Eclipse is only an IDE for development. In order to visualize the
graph you need to run the plugin in Cytoscape.

thanks Gang... I would know also if my coding is correct when I said:

The only thing I need is to write these two lines in the main of my
class? then it will work?
thanks for your answers
