  • Method Details

    • getNodesInState

      public static List<CyNode> getNodesInState(CyNetwork net, String columnName, boolean state)
      A utility method that returns a list of nodes that have a boolean attribute in the CyNetwork.DEFAULT_ATTRS namespace specified by columnName and are in the specified state. If the attribute doesn't exist or is not of type Boolean an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.
      Parameters:
      net - The network to be queried.
      columnName - The name of the column to be tested.
      state - The state being queried.
      Returns:
      a list of nodes that have a boolean attribute in the CyNetwork.DEFAULT_ATTRS namespace specified by columnName and are in the specified state.

    • getSelectedNodes

      public static List<CyNode> getSelectedNodes(CyNetwork network)
      Equivalent to 
       getNodesInState(network, CyNetwork.SELECTED, true);
      Parameters:
      network - The network to be queried.
      Returns:
      a list of nodes that are in the selected state

    • getEdgesInState

      public static List<CyEdge> getEdgesInState(CyNetwork net, String columnName, boolean state)
      A utility method that returns a list of edges that have a boolean attribute in the CyNetwork.DEFAULT_ATTRS namespace specified by columnName and are in the specified state. If the attribute doesn't exist or is not of type Boolean an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.
      Parameters:
      net - The network to be queried.
      columnName - The name of the column to be tested.
      state - The state being queried.
      Returns:
      a list of edges that have a boolean attribute in the CyNetwork.DEFAULT_ATTRS namespace specified by columnName and are in the specified state.

    • getSelectedEdges

      public static List<CyEdge> getSelectedEdges(CyNetwork network)
      Equivalent to 
       getEdgesInState(network, CyNetwork.SELECTED, true);
      Parameters:
      network - The network to be queried.
      Returns:
      a list of edges that are in the selected state

    • getColumnNames

      public static Set<String> getColumnNames(CyTable table)
      Returns all the column names of a given table.
      Parameters:
      table - the table whose column names we want
      Returns:
      the column names for all the columns in "table"
