get_svg(
  string_db,
  string_ids,
  required_score = NULL,
  network_flavor = c("evidence", "confidence", "actions"),
  file = NULL,
  payload_id = NULL
)

Arguments

string_db	An instantiated STRINGdb reference class. See STRINGdb-class.
string_ids	A vector of STRING IDs.
required_score	An integer. The minimum STRING combined score of the interactions.
network_flavor	One of "evidence", "confidence", "actions", specify the flavor of the network

Return a XML document and a SVG file if file is specified.

Examples

# extract the most significant 200 genes
hits <- example1_mapped$STRING_id[1:200]

# save the XML document in a variable for downstream manipulation
xml <- get_svg(string_db, hits)

if (FALSE) {
# print a SVG file
get_svg(string_db, hits, file = "my_network.svg")
}
