Is it possible to set the concentric variable in ipycytoscape?

[micw42]

In the concentric layout of cytoscape.js, it is possible to put a node in a certain "layer" of the circle through the concentric variable of the layout:

concentric: function( node ){ 
      return node.data("rank");
  }

Here is the cytoscape.js documentation about this

Is there a similar function to this in ipycytoscape? Thank you so much!

Hi @micw42 good question! I think you're looking for the code in this example: https://github.com/QuantStack/ipycytoscape/blob/master/examples/Concentric%20example.ipynb

The important step is: cytoscapeobj.set_layout(name='concentric')

Hope that works for you!

Hi @ianhi Thank you for answering my question! Sorry I wasn't being very clear before. I've already donecytoscapeobj.set_layout(name='concentric') I was wondering if there were a way to control which concentric layer a node ends up in? For example, here is the graph I made:

Would it be possible to make the red node on the left be in the center? Cytoscape.js allows you to set a function that determines which layer a node is in, so I wonder if this is also possible in ipycytoscape? Thank you so much for your help; I really appreciate it :)

Hey @micw42, thanks for opening the issue.
I think the reason why you can't do this is the same as: #238?
What do you think? If it is, we can close this issue and keep the discussion centralized in there.
For now we don't have a fix! But feel free to add your thoughts and questions there. I can't work on it at the moment but would gladly review a PR if you wanna try it! :)
Cheers.

Hey @marimeireles Yeah, I think it's the same; sorry I didn't see it earlier! Thank you :)
