Features you'd like to see in Cytoscape Web 2

What features would you like to see in Cytoscape Web 2?

Please discuss.

There is any chance to add tree layout?

[Ronald Randall]

We seeek a pannable, zoomable, editable flowchart with either formularized locations for parents and children of a graph node (e.g., "typewriter" or "brick" layout) or manually-laid out locations remembered in our database,  depending on node type.  We wish to depict some 30 node types and some 10 link types and be able to add, delete and edit nodes and links.  We would like the lines to follow node relocations in a pretty fashion and to animate the shown segment of a mixed tree/flowchart when a viewer moves his "focus" from one node to another.

We are trying to find a consultant to help us build a GUI for updating our metadata management tool that uses a graph-type database to classify products, to attach specs to product classes, and to allow our clients to customize library versions of classification and specification schemes.

We have a web-mounted demo to show you some what we are looking for and a short, loose description of 16 features we seek ("requirements").  I would like show these to Max or any group member who thinks he can meed our needs.  If the reader is interested, please call Scott Conklin at 713-623-1209 in Houston or me at 201-886-8820 near NYC.

I wonder if you are planning to add a tooltips extension / plugin to CytoscapeWeb.  I played around a bit with the jQuery plugin qTip 2 and it looks nice, but still I think it would be more convenient if it can all be done via a simple javascript include...

The radial layout and the exporters (like in the flash version) are both a must to the group i'm working with at the moment, before making the switch from the flash version to the HTML5 version.

[Max Franz]

The exporters/importers will likely never be added to the library itself.  There will probably eventually be some convertors as external JavaScript libraries (not a part of Cytoscape Web), but you should really be offloading heavy work like that to the server side.  That is, your webservices should be serving Cytoscape Web JSON, regardless of whatever format you're storing on the server.

There is a GSOC project to create some layouts, including some of the ones from v1.

Hi.

Importing/Exporting networks to local files is not hard to implement, and can be externalized.  So I agree with Max.

This is not for Cytoscape Web, but here is a toy example to use FileAPI:

http://chianti.ucsd.edu/~kono/webapp/d3/force1/

Since Cytoscape Web is targeting up to thousands of nodes/edges, not millions (right?), probably it is OK to implement such function in JavaScript.  And I think it can be easily externalized.  The example above is for D3.js, but it is easy to implement same function for Cytoscape Web.

The bottleneck for Cytoscape Web is the renderer.  We're addressing that with the new canvas/webgl renderer, which looks like it will be able to support on the order of tens of thousands of elements.  To get better performance than that, we have to wait for better performance in the browsers.

Hopefully, we'll be able to eventually get on the order of hundreds of thousands of elements or millions of elements as browsers improve canvas/webgl performance.
