cytoscape_graph#

cytoscape_graph(data, name='name', ident='id')[source]#

Create a NetworkX graph from a dictionary in cytoscape JSON format.

Parameters:

datadict: A dictionary of data conforming to cytoscape JSON format.
namestring: A string which is mapped to the ‘name’ node element in cyjs format. Must not have the same value as ident.
identstring: A string which is mapped to the ‘id’ node element in cyjs format. Must not have the same value as name.

Returns:

grapha NetworkX graph instance: The graph can be an instance of Graph, DiGraph, MultiGraph, or MultiDiGraph depending on the input data.

Raises:

NetworkXError: If the name and ident attributes are identical.
