Cytoscape APIs

Cytoscape Provided Services

Plugin Implemented Services

The APIs for these services are defined as interfaces in Cytoscape. The interfaces are as follows:

UI Services

Interactive - provide an option to bring up before or after action has run Action to create panel Action to be triggered by the panel

Control Tab
Results Tab
Dialog

// the service interface
interface UIPanel {
  JPanel getJPanel();
}

// meta data defining where/how to use the panel
Hashtable dict = new HashTable();
dict.put("panel.location","control");
dict.put("panel.name","hello world");
dict.put("service.pid","whatever");

bundleContext.registerService(UIPanel.class.getName(), new MyUIPanel(), dict);

Single Action

Menu Item
Button On Toolbar

Specify tunables.
Provide suggestions on where to put it (Tab, menu item).

Action Services

An action gets current context (network, view, etc.). Then the action does "something". The action should be independent of the UI. Make the actions chainable.
