## page was renamed from AssistedLayout ## These are wiki comments - leave them in so that people can see them when editing the page ## This template may be useful for documenting use cases ## Developed in response to a hackathon request for formalized, detailed use cases ## to help direct implementation proposals || '''Use Case Name''' : ../AssistedLayout || || '''For Feature''' : [[MIMEditor]] || || '''Editors''': DavidKane || ## EXAMPLE: ## Use Case Name: Representation of Protein Complex ## For Feature: Grouping Function ## Editors: Mr. Knowitall <> == Summary == ## Provide a one paragraph description of the use case A user wants to edit a map using an existing BioPAX document as a starting point. == Step-by-Step User Action == ## Provide a step-by-step account of how the user would execute the use case. For example: (1) right click on node, (2) choose "expand" from context menu, (3) new view is created, etc... 1. User selects a BioPAX document to edit 1. The system performs ../AutoDrawBioPax 1. The user edits the map by repositioning objects on the map 1. The user edits the map by adding features 1. The user performs ../EditAnnotation 1. The user edits the map by removing features and annotations 1. Steps 3, 4, 5 and 6 are repeated as necessary 1. The user saves the map 1. When the map is re-opened all of the layout changes are preserved == Visual Aides == ## Provide attachments to images to illustrate the use case (screenshots, mock-ups, storyboards, etc) == Requirements for Cytoscape == ## List the components/functions already in Cytoscape that are relevant to the use case and possible implementations (e.g., "current context menus can be used accomplish step 2 above") ## Also list components/functions that are needed in Cytoscape to execute the use case (e.g., "cytoscape needs to allow for multiple views of the same network for this to work") TBD == Importance == ## Describe whether this use case is critical and how frequently users would come across it. Describe common work flows that might involve the use case (e.g., "this use case comes up regularly, on a weekly basis, whenever we want to analyze our protein superfamily networks"). For Kohn maps, which are often used as communication documents, manual layout is important for achieving the desired clarity in the document. However, manual layout can be very tedious, and so having tools to expedite the process are important. == Other Examples == ## List other applications or relevant examples outside of Cytoscape that provide some or all of the desired functionality (e.g., "You can do this using the group function in PowerPoint"). == Comments == Shared ../MimEditorUseCaseComments This builds on the ../AutoDrawBioPax and ../EditAnnotation use cases. ---- AllanKuchinsky - 2007-01-22 05:30:56 basically autolayout + editing?
