Interface CyNetwork

All Superinterfaces:

GraphPerspective

All Known Implementing Classes:

FingCyNetwork

public interface CyNetwork
extends GraphPerspective

CyNetwork is the primary class for algorithm writing. All algorithms should take a CyNetwork as input, and do their best to only use the API of CyNetwork. Plugins that want to affect the display of a graph can look into using CyNetworkView as well.

A CyNetwork can create Nodes or Edges. Any Nodes or Edges that wish to be added to a CyNetwork first need to be created in Cytoscape.

The methods that are defined by CyNetwork mostly deal with data integration and flagging of nodes/edges. All methods that deal with graph traversal are part of the inherited API of the GraphPerspective class. Links to which can be found at the bottom of the methods list.

In general, all methods are supported for working with Nodes/Edges as objects, and as indices.
