Frequently Asked Questions
Does PathVisio support visualization of experimental data?
We are working hard on this feature, but we consider it currently too unstable to be usable.
Will PathVisio support only microarray data or also other types of data, such as proteomics or metabolomics data?
Yes, PathVisio is neutral to the type of data, and will allow you to visualize many different types of data together in the same view.
Does PathVisio support dynamic layouts of pathways?
No, PathVisio sees pathways as drawings, not as graphs. This makes the program less complex to use, but if you are more interested in graph-oriented features, we recommend you to take a look at Cytoscape
What is the relation between PathVisio and GenMAPP?
PathVisio has grown out of a need to extend GenMAPP. GenMAPP has many good features but has hit limits in terms of its flexibility to adapt to new needs. We cooperate closely with the GenMAPP group to share code and ideas. PathVisio borrows heavily from the good aspects of GenMAPP, such as its simplicity and usability, but tries to improve on other aspects, such as flexibility and expansion to other platforms (linux and Mac OS X).
