Version 2.8 datasets. The first feature allows non-programmers to map graphical introduces two powerful new features—Custom Node Graphics and images onto nodes, which greatly increases the power and Attribute Equations—which can be used jointly to greatly enhance flexibility with which integrated data can be visualized. The Cytoscape’s data integration and visualization capabilities. Custom second feature is the introduction of spreadsheet-like equations into Node Graphics allow an image to be projected onto a node, including Cytoscape’s Attribute Browser to enable advanced transformation images generated dynamically or at remote locations.
