py4cytoscape.style_values.get_node_size

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

Retrieve the actual size of specified nodes.

Parameters

  • nodes_names (str or list or int or None) – List of nodes or None. If node list: list of node names or SUIDs, comma-separated string of node names or SUIDs, or scalar node name or SUID. Node names should be found in the name column of the node table. If list is None, default is all nodes.

  • 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

as a collection of {node-name: size} for each node in node_names parameter

Return type

dict

Raises

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

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

Examples

>>> get_node_size()
{'YOR215C': 50.0, 'YBL026W': 50.0, 'YOL149W': 50.0, ...}
>>> get_node_size(['YOR215C', 'YBL026W', 'YOL149W'])
{'YOR215C': 50.0, 'YBL026W': 50.0, 'YOL149W': 50.0}
>>> get_node_size('YOR215C, YBL026W, YOL149W')
{'YOR215C': 50.0, 'YBL026W': 50.0, 'YOL149W': 50.0}
>>> get_node_size([395406, 395407, 395404])
{395406: 50.0, 395407: 50.0, 395404: 50.0}
>>> get_node_size('395406, 395407, 395404')
{395406: 50.0, 395407: 50.0, 395404: 50.0}
>>> get_node_size(395406)
{395406: 50.0}
>>> get_node_size(node_names='YOR215C', network='galFiltered.sif')
{'YYOR215C': 50.0}

Note

To identify a node whose name contains a comma, use ‘\’ to escape the comma. For example, ‘node1, node\,2’ identifies ‘node1’ and ‘node,2’.
