## page was renamed from AutoDrawBioPax ## 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''' : ../AutoDrawBioPax|| || '''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 see a Kohn representation of a BioPAX pathway. == 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 view 1. The system uses an automated layout program to generate a map using the Kohn notation == 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"). Although many of the use cases are cast in terms of editing, this use case could provide a good shorter-term capability that could be useful to both BioPAX-oriented users, and work out the implementation details for representing the Kohn notation. == 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"). Many software engineering tools have these sorts of autodraw features from underlying models. E.g. drawing a class diagram from XMI or drawing an ERD from an underlying database. == Comments == Shared ../MimEditorUseCaseComments Used by ../AssistedLayout ---- AllanKuchinsky - 2007-01-22 05:29:23 Assume this can be handled by programmatic calls to one or more of the Cytoscape automated layout routines? Is incremental/interactive layout via BubbleRouter applicable as well?
