Cytoscape WikiWhat are Cyto Panels?
Cyto Panels are floatable / dockable panels, which will be available in Cytoscape 2.2. We built the Cyto Panel API to cut down on the number of pop-up windows within Cytoscape, and create a more unified user experience. For example, in Cytoscape 2.1, the cPath PlugIn enables users to click on a node and immediately view node details in a pop-up window. Using the CytoPanel API, we can now show these node details in an embedded Cyto Panel, and present a more integrated experience to the user.
