Export PNG

Description

Saves the current network view as an png file.

Usage

exportPNG(
  filename = NULL,
  allGraphicsDetails = TRUE,
  hideLabels = FALSE,
  transparentBackground = FALSE,
  zoom = NULL,
  network = NULL,
  base.url = .defaultBaseUrl,
  overwriteFile = TRUE
)

Arguments

`filename`	(`character`) Full path or path relative to current working directory, in addition to the name of the file. Extension is automatically added based on the `type` argument. If blank, the current network name will be used.
`allGraphicsDetails`	(optional): TRUE results in image with highest detail; False allows faster image generation. The default is TRUE.
`hideLabels`	(optional): TRUE makes node and edge labels invisible in image. False allows them to be drawn. The default is False.
`transparentBackground`	(optional): TRUE causes background to be transparent. The default is FALSE.
`zoom`	(`numeric`) The zoom value to proportionally scale the image. The default value is 100.0. Valid only for bitmap formats, such as PNG and JPEG
`network`	(optional) Name or SUID of a network or view. Default is the "current" network active in Cytoscape. The first (presummably only) view associated a network is used if a specific view SUID is not provided.
`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.
`overwriteFile`	(optional) FALSE allows Cytoscape show a message box before overwriting the file if the file already exists; TRUE allows Cytoscape to overwrite it without asking. Default value is TRUE.

Details

Exports the current view to a graphics file and returns the path to the saved file. To speed up image export for large networks use the option 'allGraphicsDetails=FALSE'. Available for Cytoscape v3.10 or later.
