Support for other cytoscape shapes
mecharmor opened this issue · comments
Cytoscape supports a wide range of shapes that the nodes can be. Would it be possible to have different shaped context menu's to better fit the node shape?
For example if the node is of shape "rectangle".

Thanks!
It would be laborious to support all nodes shapes for the spotlight. A selected set of shapes would be tractable -- e.g. circle, rectangle, round-rectangle.
You're welcome to add some new spotlight shapes, as an option, in a PR if you think it would look appropriate to your users.
Keep in mind:
- The node may be larger than the maximum spotlight size, and in that case different spotlight shapes won't make much difference.
- Non-circle shapes would visually disturb the circular menu shape. Circular menus are less common than vertical ones, and users are even less familiar with circular menus with odd shapes.
I agree it would be a massive undertaking (not to mention bug prone) to support all shapes. having 2-3 shapes would be really nice. i'll take a stab at it if I have time
