[BioC] import DOT (GraphViz) into Cytoscape

[Hooiveld, Guido]

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your prompt response; I will give it a try.
The Graph-Easy route didn't pop-up when I was searching the net. I tried to go via the dot -> gxl route, but that failed.

A little googling suggests you could use this perl library to convert your DOT file to GRAPHML format:

Then use this cytoscape plugin to import GRAPHML:
