public class GMLWriter
extends Object

The purpse of this class is to translate cytoscape data structures into a gml object tree, we can then use the gml parser to write this tree out into a file

Method Detail

writeGML

public void writeGML(CyNetwork network,
                     CyNetworkView view,
                     List oldList)

Given an object tree given in oldList, update it with the information provided in network and optional view (if view is not null). The GML spec requires that we remember all information provided in the original gml file. Therefore, we pass in the old object tree as oldList, as execute functions which will update that data structure. We would also like to save files that may not have been loaded from a gml file. This list is empty in that case. Those same update functions must be able to create all relevant key-value pairs as well then.
