## Getting Started in Python

### Prerequisites

Make sure that dash and its dependent libraries are correctly installed:

```commandline
pip install dash
```

If you want to install the latest versions, check out the [Dash docs on installation](https://dash.plotly.com/installation).

### Usage

Install the library using `pip`:

```
pip install dash-cytoscape
```

If you wish to use the CyLeaflet mapping extension, you must install the optional `leaflet` dependencies:

```
pip install dash-cytoscape[leaflet]
```

Create the following example inside an `app.py` file:

```python
import dash
import dash_cytoscape as cyto
from dash import html

app = dash.Dash(__name__)
app.layout = html.Div([
    cyto.Cytoscape(
        id='cytoscape',
        elements=[
            {'data': {'id': 'one', 'label': 'Node 1'}, 'position': {'x': 50, 'y': 50}},
            {'data': {'id': 'two', 'label': 'Node 2'}, 'position': {'x': 200, 'y': 200}},
            {'data': {'source': 'one', 'target': 'two','label': 'Node 1 to 2'}}
        ],
        layout={'name': 'preset'}
    )
])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run_server(debug=True)
```

### External layouts

You can also add external layouts. Use the `cyto.load_extra_layouts()` function to get started:

```python
import dash
import dash_cytoscape as cyto
from dash import html

cyto.load_extra_layouts()

app = dash.Dash(__name__)
app.layout = html.Div([
    cyto.Cytoscape(...)
])
```

Calling `cyto.load_extra_layouts()` also enables generating SVG images.

## Getting Started in R

### Prerequisites

```R
install.packages(c("devtools", "dash"))
```

### Usage

Install the library using devtools:

```
devtools::install_github("plotly/dash-cytoscape")
```

Create the following example inside an `app.R` file:

```R
library(dash)
library(dashHtmlComponents)
library(dashCytoscape)

app <- Dash$new()

app$layout(
  htmlDiv(
    list(
      cytoCytoscape(
        id = 'cytoscape-two-nodes',
        layout = list('name' = 'preset'),
        style = list('width' = '100%', 'height' = '400px'),
        elements = list(
          list('data' = list('id' = 'one', 'label' = 'Node 1'), 'position' = list('x' = 75, 'y' = 75)),
          list('data' = list('id' = 'two', 'label' = 'Node 2'), 'position' = list('x' = 200, 'y' = 200)),
          list('data' = list('source' = 'one', 'target' = 'two'))
        )
      )
    )
  )
)

app$run_server()
```

## Documentation

The [Dash Cytoscape User Guide](https://dash.plotly.com/cytoscape/) contains everything you need to know about the library. It contains useful examples, functioning code, and is fully interactive. You can also use the [component reference](https://dash.plotly.com/cytoscape/reference/) for a complete and concise specification of the API.

To learn more about the core Dash components and how to use callbacks, view the [Dash documentation](https://dash.plotly.com/).

For supplementary information about the underlying Javascript API, view the [Cytoscape.js documentation](http://js.cytoscape.org/).
