NetMatch Options
Once networks and/or queries are loaded, these will be available through the NetMatch plug-in when executed. Several options are be available: Graph Properties: Checkbox Labeled enables/disables nodes and edges labels usage (i.e. if the graph has labels and the checkbox is disables it will be treated as an unlabeled graph) Checkbox Directed enables/disables edges direction for both query and target network (i.e. if the graph is directed and the checkbox is disabled it will be treated as an undirected graph) |
Query properties: In the box Query Properties it is possible to select a query and optionally its node and edge attributes (query and attributes are loaded from Cytoscape or the query drawing tool). Node and edge attributes are only searched if the Labeled mode is set. When an incomplete set of attributes are loaded, NetMatch considers the remaining nodes unlabeled. In particular, the option "Use node IDs as attributes" uses the node IDs as attributes |
Network properties: Select a target network in the Network Properties box and its node and edge attributes (target and attributes are loaded from Cytoscape). When an incomplete set of attributes are loaded, NetMatch considers the remaining nodes unlabeled. In particular, the option "Use node IDs as attributes" takes as node attributes the node IDs. Network Node/Edge Attributes: through these menus the user can select nodes/edges attributes to be used during the match. The attribute selected can be boolean, integer, floating point, string or list attribute. In this last case the query attribute will searched into the list attribute. If the item "List of Attributes" is selected a windows (see figure on the right) allowing to select the attributes will be prompted. The query attribute will be searched into this list of attribute. |
Options: When query, network and attributes are selected it is possible to start NetMatch. The possibilities are: Acquire Data: When this button is pressed all open networks and their attributes are loaded in NetMatch, even if they are loaded in Cytoscape after NetMatch is started. Go: Run the query. Reset: Reset NetMatch interface. If there are networks loaded in Cytoscape, they are automatically loaded. |
