initNodeAttribute

Description

Create the node 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 RCytoscape. This method converts these standard R data type names, to the forms needed by Cytoscape.

Usage

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

Arguments

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

Value

Returns the modified graph.
