Researchers studying large or complex biochemical networks would benefit from the ability to automatically create lucid visualizations and store them in a portable and widely accepted format.
Two modules, SBMLSupportLayout and SBWAutoLayout, support reading, creating, manipulating and writing layout information for biochemical models. SBMLSupportLayout can read, update, add and render model layout information. SBWAutoLayout can automatically layout models, graphically manipulate model layout and generate layout information for models without layout information.
SBMLSupportLayout and SBWAutoLayout are distributed with the Systems Biology Workbench (SBW), which can be downloaded from http://www.sys-bio.org. Additionally, their visualization and layout capabilities are available online at http://www.sys-bio.org/Layout. Both modules run on Win32, Linux and the Mac OS X version is forthcoming.
研究大型或复杂生化网络的研究人员将受益于自动创建清晰可视化并将其存储为便携且被广泛接受格式的能力。
两个模块，即SBMLSupportLayout和SBWAutoLayout，支持读取、创建、操作和写入生化模型的布局信息。SBMLSupportLayout可以读取、更新、添加和渲染模型布局信息。SBWAutoLayout可以自动布局模型、以图形方式操作模型布局并为没有布局信息的模型生成布局信息。
SBMLSupportLayout和SBWAutoLayout随系统生物学工作台（SBW）一起分发，可从http://www.sys-bio.org下载。此外，它们的可视化和布局功能可在http://www.sys-bio.org/Layout上在线获取。这两个模块都在Win32上运行，Linux版本即将推出，Mac OS X版本也即将推出。
