Description: Cytoscape is able to visualize very large network with thousands of nodes and edges. Cytoscape provides three ways to select a subset of a network, Select, QuickFind and Filter. Filter, a Cytoscape plugin, is a powerful selection tool, which is able to do selection based on complex criterion. However, the feedback from Biologist is that “it is useful, but hard to use”. For example, (1) filters are saved globally only, not in session; (2) Filter names are generated automatically, which is not meaningful to human; (3) the text field does not have Google suggestion/ not dynamic, as QuickFind does. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the UI of the filter and make it more user friendly. |
