What is this tool?
A network diagram creation tool. This is a browser-based implementation of Cytoscape, which is popular as a desktop application.
Cytoscape is an open-source platform for visualizing and analyzing network (graph) data. Originally developed for visualizing and analyzing biological networks (molecular interaction networks), it is also widely used for social network analysis and general complex network visualization.
It allows you to intuitively understand and edit the structure of data composed of nodes (points) and edges (lines).
Features
- Network visualization…Draws network diagrams composed of nodes and edges to visualize structural relationships.
- Layout algorithms…Arranges networks automatically using various algorithms such as force-directed layout, hierarchical layout, and more.
- Attribute data integration…Add attributes (weights, categories) to nodes and edges, and reflect them in visual styles.
- Export…Export network diagrams in SVG format.
How to use
- Load network data…Import node and edge information from network data in GEXF or GraphML format.
- Draw the network…Render the network in Cytoscape and apply automatic layout to organize it.
- Set attributes and customize…Assign attributes to nodes/edges and map them to visual styles such as color and size.
- Export and share…Export the visualization as an SVG image.
Input data formats
- GEXF, GraphML formats
