Description: # Tabnetviz - table-based network visualizer
        
        **Tabnetviz** generates network visualizations from node and edge
        properties provided in tables. The node and edge properties can be
        mapped to visual attributes in several ways. **Tabnetviz** was
        inspired by the popular Cytoscape program which can also generate
        similar mappings. However, Cytoscape is a resource-intensive,
        interactive Java program with a complex graphical interface, and
        loading networks from tables and defining mappings can be cumbersome
        in it. **Tabnetviz**, on the other hand, is a non-interactive,
        lightweight command-line tool guided by a single text-based
        configuration file, thus ideal for use in scripts, Makefiles, and
        reproducible workflows. Once a configuration file has been developed,
        it only takes a single command to generate the network visualization
        (typically an SVG file), and to quickly regenerate it whenever the
        input data changes.
        
        **Tabnetviz** generates static network visualizations, and is
        applicable in a wide range of fields such as bioinformatics (for gene
        regulatory networks, protein interaction networks, etc.),
        neuroscience, and studies of social networks, computer networks,
        economic networks, etc.
        
        An example visualization generated by Tabnetviz:
        
        ![network](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aszilagyi/tabnetviz/master/docs/galFiltered.svg?sanitize=true)
        
        The **Tabnetviz** configuration file is a YAML format text file, which
        is easily written manually, and easy to understand. It specifies the
        node table and the edge table for the network (both can be CSV, TSV,
        or Excel files), and defines how to map the node and edge properties
        (provided in node and edge table columns) to visual attributes such as
        colors, node sizes, shapes, line widths, etc. Node groups and edge
        groups can also be defined (using Boolean expressions on the node/edge
        properties), and the mappings can be applied to them.
        
        **Tabnetviz** is a Python program, and uses
        [Graphviz](http://www.graphviz.org/) as its network visualization
        back-end, and can use any [node, edge, and graph attribute known to
        Graphviz](https://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/attrs.html). It also uses
        Graphviz for generating network layouts. Relying on the power of
        Graphviz, **Tabnetviz** can generate high-quality images suitable as
        illustrations for science publications.
        
        As a bonus, **Tabnetviz** can optionally calculate numerous graph
        theoretical quantities such as degrees, centralities, clustering
        coefficients, etc. These are added to the node/edge table, and can
        then be mapped to visual attributes, e.g. node sizes or colors.
