initEdgeAttribute: initEdgeAttribute

In tmuetze/Bioconductor_RCy3_the_new_RCytoscape: Display and manipulate graphs in Cytoscape >= 3.3.0

Description

Create the edge attribute slot that the Bioconductor graph class requires, including a default value, and then specifying what the base type (or 'class') is – 'char', 'integer', or 'numeric' – which is needed by RCy3. This method converts these standard R data type names, to the forms needed by Cytoscape.

Usage

initEdgeAttribute(graph, attribute.name, attribute.type, default.value)

Arguments

graph	a Bioconductor graph object.
attribute.name	a string, the name of the new edge attribute.
attribute.type	a string, either 'char', 'integer', or 'numeric'
default.value	something sensible, of the right type

Value

Returns the modified graph.

  ## Not run: 
  # first, delete existing windows to save memory:

  g = new ('graphNEL', edgemode='directed')
  g = initEdgeAttribute (g, 'edgeType', 'char', 'associates with')

## End(Not run)
