Cytoscape - how do I change the node size relative to number of edges?

Question

[gemmalouisebaldock]

I have created a network on Cytoscape, but I am trying to find something that will allow me to change the size of my node based on the number of edges. I have looked online and I see people recommending VizMapper, but it seems to be outdated. Is there something similar that can be used with the latest version of Cytoscape?

Thanks in advance

In Cytoscape, with your network loaded try Tools > Analyze Network menu option. After invocation there will be a new column in the node table named "Degree." The "Degree" is the number edges connected to each node and a style can be added to use that column to set the size of the node. For information on how to style nodes see: http://manual.cytoscape.org/en/stable/Styles.html#introduction-to-the-style-interface
