Description

Interface Summary

VisualProperty	Represents a visual property.
VisualPropertyDependency	Define dependency of visual properties.

Class Summary

Appearance	A class that holds the appearance information for NodeViews and EdgeViews.
Arrow	This class is a replacement for the yFiles Arrow class.
CalculatorCatalog	Stores various types of Calculators from data attributes to an attribute of a specified type.
CalculatorCatalogFactory	This class provides a static method for reading a CalculatorCatalog object from file, using parameters specified in a supplied CytoscapeConfig.
CalculatorIO	This class defines static methods for reading calculator definitions from a properties object and installing them into a CalculatorCatalog, and for constructing a properties object that describes all the calculators in a CalculatorCatalog.
EdgeAppearance	Objects of this class hold data describing the appearance of an Edge.
EdgeAppearanceCalculator	This class calculates the appearance of an Edge.
GlobalAppearance	Objects of this class hold data describing global appearance attributes of the graph window.
GlobalAppearanceCalculator	This class calculates global visual attributes such as the background color of the graph window.
LabelPosition	Deprecated.
NodeAppearance	Objects of this class hold data describing the appearance of a Node.
NodeAppearanceCalculator	This class calculates the appearance of a Node.
SubjectBase	Abstract Base Class for Subject in the Subject / Observer Pattern.
VisualMappingManager	Top-level class for controlling the visual appearance of nodes and edges according to data attributes, as well as some global visual attributes.
VisualStyle	This class encapsulates a full set of visual mapping specifications for Cytoscape.

Enum Summary

ArrowShape	Defines arrow shapes. This replaces constants defined in Arrow.java.
LineStyle	Define line stroke.
NodeShape
VisualPropertyDependency.Definition	An enum that lists the possible dependencies.
VisualPropertyType	Enum for calculator types. This will replace public constants defined in VizMapperUI class. This Enum defines visual attributes used in Cytoscape.

Exception Summary

DuplicateCalculatorNameException

This Exception is thrown when one attempts to add a Calculator to a CalculatorCatalog that already has a Calculator of the same name and interface type.

Package cytoscape.visual Description

Framework for generalized mappings from graph attributes to visual attributes. Graph attributes are either in the form of the actual nodes and edges of the graph, or in the form of values stored in one of CytoscapeWindow's two CyAttributes instances, edgeAttributes and nodeAttributes. Visual attributes include node color, size, shape, label, edge color, style, label, etc.
