Summary
dishevelled.org venn-cytoscape-plugin provides venn diagrams for Cytoscape [1] as a plugin. The venn diagram Cytoscape plugin requires java version 1.6 or later and Cytoscape version 2.7.0 or later.
Venn Diagrams
The plugin provides a diagram view and a details view for comparing two to four Cytoscape groups at a time.
The diagram view is an interactive venn diagram showing the number of nodes in each logical grouping. Clicking on any area in the diagram selects the corresponding nodes in the current Cytoscape network view. The diagram can be exported to an image file in PNG format.
The details view shows the nodes in each logical grouping. The selection model of the details view synchronizes the selection for all of the list views (i.e. selecting a node in any one list will select it in all lists) and exports the selection to the current Cytoscape network view (selecting a node in the details view will select it in the current Cytoscape network view, but not vice versa).
