mapVisualProperty {RCy3} | R Documentation

## Creates a mapping between an attribute and a visual property

### Description

Generates the appropriate data structure for the "mapping" parameter in updateStyleMapping.

### Usage

    mapVisualProperty(
      visual.prop,
      table.column,
      mapping.type,
      table.column.values,
      visual.prop.values,
      network = NULL,
      base.url = .defaultBaseUrl
    )

### Arguments

`visual.prop` | (char) name of visual property to map
`table.column` | (char) name of table column to map
`mapping.type` | (char) continuous, discrete or passthrough (c,d,p)
`table.column.values` | (list) list of values paired with visual.prop.values; skip for passthrough mapping
`visual.prop.values` | (list) list of values paired with table.column.values; skip for passthrough mapping
`network` | (optional) Name or SUID of the network. Default is the "current" network active in Cytoscape.
`base.url` | (optional) Ignore unless you need to specify a custom domain, port or version to connect to the CyREST API. Default is http://localhost:1234 and the latest version of the CyREST API supported by this version of RCy3.

### Details

The paired list of values must be of the same length or mapping will fail. For gradient mapping, you may include two additional visual.prop.values in the first and last positions to map respectively to values less than and greater than those specified in table.column.values. Mapping will also fail if the data type of table.column.values does not match that of the existing table.column. Note that all imported numeric data are stored as Integers or Doubles in Cytosacpe tables; and character or mixed data are stored as Strings.

### Value

(network=network, base.url=base.url) ready to convert into JSON by style mapping operations
