A plugin for the Java-based PathVisio pathway editor has been developed to help users draw diagrams of bioregulatory networks according to the Molecular Interaction Map (MIM) notation. Together with the core PathVisio application, this plugin presents a simple to use and cross-platform application for the construction of complex MIM diagrams with the ability to annotate diagram elements with comments, literature references and links to external databases. This tool extends the capabilities of the PathVisio pathway editor by providing both MIM-specific glyphs and support for a MIM-specific markup language file format for exchange with other MIM-compatible tools and diagram validation.
The PathVisio-MIM plugin is freely available and works with versions of PathVisio 2.0.11 and later on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Information about MIM notation and the MIMML format is available at http://discover.nci.nih.gov/mim. The plugin, along with diagram examples, instructions and Java source code, may be downloaded at http://discover.nci.nih.gov/mim/mim_pathvisio.html.
已经开发了一个基于 Java 的 PathVisio 通路编辑器的插件,以帮助用户根据分子相互作用图 (MIM) 符号绘制生物调节网络的图表。该插件与核心的 PathVisio 应用程序一起,为构建具有注释、文献参考和到外部数据库链接的能力的复杂 MIM 图表提供了一个简单易用且跨平台的应用程序。该工具通过提供特定于 MIM 的符号以及对特定于 MIM 的标记语言文件格式的支持,扩展了 PathVisio 通路编辑器的功能,可与其他与 MIM 兼容的工具和图表验证进行交换。
PathVisio-MIM 插件是免费提供的,可与 Windows、Mac OS X 和 Linux 上的版本 2.0.11 及更高版本的 PathVisio 一起使用。有关 MIM 符号和 MIMML 格式的信息可在 http://discover.nci.nih.gov/mim 上获得。该插件与图表示例、说明和 Java 源代码可在 http://discover.nci.nih.gov/mim/mim_pathvisio.html 下载。
