NAME

BioGraph::Visual

SYNOPSIS

use BioGraph::Visual;

DESCRIPTION

Package for manipulate graphs represented as well as adjacent matrix or adjacent list. Library for visualize graphs in different format (txt, pdf, ps, 3d, ...).

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

This is the list of the differents functions implemented in this library.

export

Export the graph in a file image format. To use this function you MUST have installed the 'dot' program from AT&T (http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz).

• SYNOPSIS export(representation, file_name, format, graph)
• PARAMETERS

  representation

  the type of representation choosen : 1 = adjacent matrix, and 2 = adjacent list

  file_name

  the basename of the output file (ex: graph => graph.dot)

  format

  one type of format in : ps, gif, jpeg, fig, xdot

  graph

  the hash table of the graph

• OUTPUT Nothing else the converted file

display

This function display on the screen (as text) a graph contained in a hash table

• SYNOPSIS display(representation, graph)
• PARAMETERS

  representation

  the type of representation choosen : 1 = adjacent matrix, and 2 = adjacent list

  graph

  the hash table of the graph

• OUTPUT Nothing else the graph on the screen

generate_3D

Generate the representation in 3 dimensions of the vertices densities of a graph (pdf file). You MUST have installed the R package to use this function (http://www.R-project.org).

• SYNOPSIS generate_3D(file_name, representation, ref_densities, graph)
• PARAMETERS

  file_name

  the name of the file to produce without extension

  representation

  the type of representation choosen : 1 = adjacent matrix, and 2 = adjacent list

  ref_densities

  the reference of the hash table of densities

  graph

  the hash table of the graph

• OUTPUT The 3D graph in pdf format
