[SOLVED] Access plugin variables through jython console?

[sfranky]

hi everyone!
can someone please tell me if it's possible to access other plugins' stuff from within the console?
I want e.g. to access the z-axis data in the CoordinateView plugin, is this possible?

thanks very much,
Sotiris

anyone?
come on you guys, I think all I need to know is how to find the name of a variable used by a plugin!
pleeease?

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I'm not really sure if I understand your question, but I'll give it a try. This is also the first time that I use the CoordinateView plugin.

If I understand it correctly, the CoordinateView plugin allows you to use attribute columns from the nodes properties to arrange the graph, right?

Well, if you're using a column named "myx" as X-Ordinate on CoordinateView, you just have to access the "myx" attribute of a node from the console:

Code: Select all

>>> v1.myx
3.2

In this example, v1 is the node with id 1. The same example applies to the Z-Ordinate.

well, that was a stupid question !!!! I was thinking the opposite way, that I needed to have access to the name of the z-axis, where now you re telling me I can just manipulate the actual variable
it seems to work fine.
Thanks for your excellent plugin, it felt like fresh air coming in in gephi ! I m not a programmer, I only know a little bit of python, and having to do stuff on java/c++ gives me the creeps !!
i had some other minor questions, but i can't remember any now.. i ll post as soon as I remember..
Is it possible to do a timeline by using your plugin??

The plugin doesn't support time-varying networks. I plan to implement timeline support, but I'm not yet really sure about how this should work. If you have ideas, please share them!

I'm really glad that you liked the plugin! Let me know if you have more questions.
