[BioC] RCytoscape: object 'graph' not found error

Hi Chris,

Switching to a graphNEL -- which RCytoscape requires -- here below is some working graph-creation code.

In addition to the vignette and the usual R help, some useful documentation and examples can be found here

  http://rcytoscape.systemsbiology.net

Does this help?  If an adjacency matrix is the data you prefer to start from, then this may be helpful:

   g.am <- graphAM(your.matrix, edgemode="directed")
   g <- as(g.am, "graph")

library(RCytoscape)

I am able to generate the graph object ('g'), which contains the gene names in the @adjMat slot from the adjacency matrix and it will generate a graph in Cytoscape.  However, when I attempt to add node and edge attributes to the g object, I get the following error:
