setNodeSizeRule: setNodeSizeRule

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Description

Specify how data attributes how the specified node attribute values determine the node size.

Usage

1
setNodeSizeRule (obj, node.attribute.name, control.points, node.sizes,mode, default.size=40)

Arguments

obj

a CytoscapeWindowClass object.

node.attribute.name

the node attribute whose values will, when this rule is applied, determine the size of each node.

control.points

A list of (currently, exactly 3) values, which specify the 'control points' to control the coloring of nodes

node.sizes

The nodes sizes which correspond to the control points.

mode

'interpolate' or 'lookup'. This roughly corresponds to the visual mapping of continuously varying data (i.e., lfc or pValue), versus visual mapping of discrete data (i.e., molecule type, or phosphorylation status). With the interpolation mode, you must specify n+2 colors: adding a 'below' and an 'above' color. In lookup mode, specify exactly as many control.points as colors. If are data attribute values are found on the nodes which do not appear in your list, they will displayed in the default color.

default.size

the size of nodes not otherwise specified. Does not work in Cytoscape 2.7.

Value

None.
