cytoscape-compound-resize

Description

A Cytoscape.js extension to resize compound nodes by setting their paddings. Note that this extension do not handle the cases where the position or the sizes of the nodes are changed programaticly. It handles the position changes if the node/s are moved by UI regularly and it handles the node resize if the node is resized through cytoscape.js-node-resize extension.

The extension enables users to have two modes ('free' and 'min').

In 'free' mode you have what is Cytoscape.js core is already providing. However, in 'min' mode you can specify the minimum and maximum paddings that a compound can have for all sides. In this way you can create extra space inside the node and when a child of this node is moving around the borders of it the outer width of the compound may not change according to the maximum and minimum paddings.

The following figure reflects the arrows used in the next images to represent padding, maximum padding and minimum padding.

The following image represents an arbitrary state of a compound node when the extension is in 'min' mode.

Suppose that minimum right padding and right padding of a compound as in the figure below

While the child node is being dragged to the right the outer size of the node will be conserved by decreasing the right padding until it comes to the state shown in the following figure where the right padding will be equal to the minimum right padding.

After that point if the node will be dragged to the right then the outer width of the compound will increase as the padding could not be less than minimum padding and so can no more be decreased.

Think of the case where the right padding and the maximum right paddings of the compound are as in the figure below

While the child node is being dragged to the left the outer size of the node will be conserved by increasing the right padding until it comes to the state shown in the following figure where the right padding will be equal to the maximum right padding.

After that point if the node will be dragged to the left then the outer width of the compound will decrease as the padding could not be more than maximum padding and so can no more be increased.

Dependencies

• Cytoscape.js ^2.7.0
• cytoscape.js-node-resize ^1.0.10 (Optional. Actually this is not a complete dependency. However, this extension listens noderesize events triggered by node-resize extension)

Usage instructions

Download the library:

• via npm: npm install cytoscape-compound-resize,
• via bower: bower install cytoscape-compound-resize, or
• via direct download in the repository (probably from a tag).

require() the library as appropriate for your project:

CommonJS:

cytoscape = require('cytoscape');
compoundResize = require('cytoscape-compound-resize');

oundResize( cytoscape ); // register extension

AMD:

ire(['cytoscape', 'cytoscape-compound-resize'], function( cytoscape, compound-resize ){
mpound-resize( cytoscape ); // register extension

Plain HTML/JS has the extension registered for you automatically, because no require() is needed.

API

api = cy.compoundResize( mode ); // valid modes are 'free' or 'min'

The extension api provides users with the following functions. Note that for the padding parameters in the api functions you should specify an object similar to the following one

paddings = {
top: 5,
bottom: 5,
left: 5,
right: 5

You do not have to specify all of the for corners. For example if you want to just set the top and left paddings you can use an object similar to

paddings = {
top: 5,
left: 5

s
et the mode. If the mode is switched to 'free' it sets the paddings to the min paddings else if the mode is switched to
min' it sets the extreme ( maximum and minimum ) paddings to the current original paddings.
setMode(newmode); 
et the current mode
getMode();
his function returns directly if the mode is not 'min'. It sets the paddings of the nodes conditionally. 
he paddings which are not between min and max paddings are not set.
setPaddings(nodes, paddings); 
his function returns directly if the mode is not 'min'. Sets the extreme (min or max) paddings for the given nodes. 
ou can give 'min' or 'max' to the 'minOrMax' parameter. Also note that this operation checks if the rule of 
axPaddings >= minPaddings' is broken and does not set extreme paddings if it will be broken. 
owever, you can break this rule by assigning a truthy value to 'force' parameter. If the min paddings will be higher then
r the maximum paddings will be lower then the original paddings then it sets the original paddings to the extreme paddings. 
setExtremePaddings(nodes, paddings, minOrMax, force); 
et the minimum paddings of a given node. Returns null if the mode is not 'min'
getMinimumPaddings(node);
et the maximum paddings of a given node. Returns null if the mode is not 'min'
getMaximumPaddings(node);

You can get an extension instance or destroy the extension as well

et an extension instance
ompoundResize( 'get' );
estroy the extension
ompoundResize( 'destroy' );
