Extend PathVisio with a plugin to create , modify and visualize data on biological pathways from scripting languages

by Anwesha for National Resource for Network Biology (NRNB)

The plugin would allow users to call functions of PathVisio from within their scripting language of choice(such as C, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby, R etc.) to create new pathways, modify existing pathways and visualize their data on the pathways. All the function calls are done through XML-RPC therefore the programming language chosen for making the function calls is irrelevant as long as it has an XML-RPC client implementation. Most major programming languages (Java, C, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby, R etc.) have such an implementation.
