Table 2 The layouts supported in the visualization interface. The six layouts supported in the visualization interface of InteGO2
From: InteGO2: a web tool for measuring and visualizing gene semantic similarities using Gene Ontology
Name | Description |
|---|---|
concentric | The concentric layout positions nodes in concentric circles. |
Users could select this layout to put the graph in the middle | |
of the explorer. | |
breadth-first | The breadth-first layout puts nodes in a hierarchy, based |
on a breadth-first traversal of the graph. The hierarchical | |
structure of the gene functional association network is | |
shown in this layout. | |
circle | The circle layout puts nodes in a circle. From a circle layout, |
the user could easily find the nodes with high degree and | |
low degree. | |
cose | The cose (Compound Spring Embedder) layout uses a |
force-directed simulation to lay out compound graphs. | |
This layout helps the users to find the density region of the | |
network. | |
cola | The cola layout uses a force-directed physics simulation |
with several sophisticated constraints. | |
grid | The grid layout puts nodes in a well-spaced grid. |
