Release 2.7 Features
New Features
Title |
Lead |
Description |
Status |
UCSD |
A node may now have a reference to another Network, which allows us to capture the relationships between networks in networks themselves. This feature includes a new file format (NNF) for nested network I/O and direct nested network editing via the Editor and Right-click menu. A Visual Property has been added to provide control of the visualization of the nested network. |
Ready for testing |
|
New Edge Types |
UCSD |
Several new edge types between solid and dashed have been added. |
Ready for testing |
Newlines and list editing in attribute browser |
UCSD |
The attribute browser has been updated to allow newline characters to be added by pressing the "Enter" key. List editing is now also enabled. |
Ready for testing |
Automatic label wrap |
UCSD |
A new visual property has been added that sets the width of a label. Any label extending beyond this width will be automatically wrapped. |
Ready for testing |
Arrow color optionally locked to edge color |
UCSD |
Arrow color may now be bound to the edge color by checking a box in the Dependencies pane of the Default Appearance Browser in the VizMapper, which avoids the necessity of creating separate-yet-identical mappings for edge, source, and target arrows. |
Ready for testing |
PSICQUIC Web Service plugin |
UCSD |
This allows access to any PSICQUIC compliant database. |
Ready for testing |
Scooter |
Addition of a mechanism to the core to provide inter-plugin communication |
Ready for testing |
|
BioPAX Level 3 support |
Toronto/Pathway Commons |
|
Ready for testing |
