Description

Specify how data attributes how the specified node attribute values determine the node shape.

Usage

setNodeShapeRule (obj, node.attribute.name=, attribute.values,
node.shapes, default.shape)

Arguments

obj a CytoscapeWindowClass object.
node.attribute.name the node attribute whose values will, when this rule is applied, determine the shape of each node.
attribute.values A list of scalar, discrete values. For instance, molecule types: 'transporter', 'receptor', 'kinase'
node.shapes A list of nodes selected from among those supported.
default.shape A single string, the shape used if no explicit mapping is provided.
