deleteEdgeAttribute: deleteEdgeAttribute

In RCytoscape: Display and manipulate graphs in Cytoscape

Description

Node and edge attributes are usually added to a Cytoscape network by defining them on the graph used to construct a CytoscapeWindow. Once Cytoscape has been passed an attribute, however, it persists until you exit the application or delete it – using the Cytoscape graphical user interface, or by calling this method.

Usage

deleteEdgeAttribute(obj, attribute.name)

Arguments

obj	a CytoscapeConnectionClass object or CytoscapeWindow object.
attribute.name	a character string, the name of the attribute you wish to delete.

Value

nothing
