HierarchyNetwork

• representing a graphical hierarchy network, intended to visualize CellML hierarchical dependencies of components
• contains components which may contain variables
• there may be directed connections from parent components to child components representing the hierarchy among components
• variables can be connected visualizing the flow of information between them

create a /HierarchyNetwork

TODO

export a /HierarchyNetwork

• API contains functionality to export a HierarchyNetwork to different graph formats:
  • GraphML, e.g. to use it with CytoscapeWeb – see also /GraphmlFormatDescription
  • DOT, e.g. to use it with GraphViz – see also DotFormatDescription
  • JSON, e.g. to use it with CytoscapeJS – see also /JsonGraphFormatDescription

Modifications

• a /HierarchyNetworkComponent may report following modifications:
  • /GraphEntity.MODIFIED: properties of this component have changed, or its parental association in the corresponding hierarchy was modified.
  • /GraphEntity.INSERT: this component wasn’t present in the original document, but was inserted in the modified version
  • /GraphEntity.DELETE: this component isn’t present in the modified version, while it was present in the original document
  • /GraphEntity.UNMODIFIED: component and its parental association in the component hierarchy hasn’t changed (variables in this component may have been inserted/deleted/modified)
• a /HierarchyNetworkVariable may report following modifications:
  • /GraphEntity.MODIFIED: its label has changed, or some other properties were modified
  • /GraphEntity.INSERT: it wasn’t present in the original document
  • /GraphEntity.DELETE: it isn’t present in the modified document anymore
  • /GraphEntity.UNMODIFIED: same properties in both the original and the modified document
