The result viewer appears on the right hand side of the Cytoscape user interface after a successful clustering process and it can operate in two modes: the simple view and the detailed view. When the result viewer is opened for the first time, the simple view is used, which shows each cluster in a scrollable list box along with some basic properties of the cluster (number of nodes, density, quality and p-value). The clusters are ordered according to ascending p-values. There is also a small toolbar above the list of clusters, where the number of clusters are shown along with small push buttons to access some of the functionality provided by the result viewer.
The simple view uses two columns, the first column showing a schematic drawing of each cluster (driven by a simple force-directed layout algorithm) and the second showing some basic properties of the cluster. The clusters are drawn in the background, so if there are many large clusters, you may have to wait a little bit until you are able to see them all.
Right-clicking on any row of the table will bring up the cluster context menu. Double-clicking on any row will extract the cluster into a separate Cytoscape network view.
The detailed view can be turned on or off by clicking on the first button of
the toolbar which shows a table (). It is advised to turn the detailed
view on only if the result panel itself is detached from the main Cytoscape
window or if it is wide enough, as the detailed view contains seven columns,
the first showing a schematic drawing of the cluster itself, while the remaining
six correspond to the properties seen earlier in the selection info box
on the control panel (number of nodes, density, in-weight, out-weight,
quality and p-value).
In the detailed view, you can sort the clusters according to any of the above columns by clicking on the column header. Clicking on the header again reverses the order.
Right-clicking on any row of the table will bring up the cluster context menu. Double-clicking on any row will extract the cluster into a separate Cytoscape network view.
