py4cytoscape.network_selection.select_edges_connecting_selected_nodes

select_edges_connecting_selected_nodes(network=None, base_url='http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1')[source]

Select edges in a Cytoscape Network connecting the selected nodes, including self loops connecting single nodes.

Any edges selected beforehand are deselected before any new edges are selected

Parameters

  • network (SUID or str or None) – Name or SUID of a network. Default is the “current” network active in Cytoscape.

  • base_url (str) – Ignore unless you need to specify a custom domain, port or version to connect to the CyREST API. Default is http://127.0.0.1:1234 and the latest version of the CyREST API supported by this version of py4cytoscape.

Returns

{‘nodes’: [node list], ‘edges’: [edge list]} or None if no selected nodes

Return type

dict

Raises

  • CyError – if network name or SUID doesn’t exist

  • requests.exceptions.RequestException – if can’t connect to Cytoscape or Cytoscape returns an error

Examples

>>> select_edges_connecting_selected_nodes()
None
>>> select_edges_connecting_selected_nodes(network='My Network')
{'nodes': [103990, 103991, ...], 'edges': [104432, 104431, ...]}
>>> select_edges_connecting_selected_nodes(network=52)
{'nodes': [103990, 103991, ...], 'edges': [104432, 104431, ...]}

Note

In the return value node list is list of all selected nodes, and edge list is the SUIDs of selected edges – dict is None if no nodes were selected or there were no newly created edges
