BiLayout

Description

BiLayout is a Java plugin for Cytoscape, a software platform for the analysis and visualization of molecular interaction networks.
This plugin computes a bipartite network layout for 2 user-selected groups of nodes.


Features

BiLayout provides several additional features for your layout, which are available via two context menus:

    BiLayout menu:    This menu contains options for the current BiLayout, like
  • selecting one of the two groups
  • showing and hiding unconnected nodes
  • exporting groups
  • resetting the network
    MouseOver menu:    The mouse-over effect provides an easy visualization of all neighbors of a certain node.
