Arcadia Description

A light-weight desktop application designed for visualizing biological networks such as metabolic pathways Arcadia is a viewer, not an editor: this means a simpler interface, offering multiple perspectives on the same data, with a focus on navigation.As a light-weight, standalone component, Arcadia is easy to deploy and maintain. In order to ensure interoperability with other tools, an effort is made to support existing or emerging standards such as SBML and SBGN.A reference framework for the development of Arcadia is Utopia: an open-source, interoperable set of desktop tools for protein analysis, built according to the Model/View/Controller pattern. This approach, along with Object Oriented Programming, makes up for flexible, evolutive software.Arcadia is cross-platform and is developed mainly in C++.Arcadia makes use of powerful existing open-source libraries:· LibSBML => an interface to SBML pathway files· the Boost Graph Library => an efficient graph structure· GraphViz => classic layout algorithms· libavoid => dynamic edge routing· Qt => the Graphical User Interface Here are some key features of "Arcadia": · sorted lists of reactions and biochemical species · detailed properties of selected elements · graphic representations of the whole network · local maps?for groups of neighbouring molecules Requirements: · C++
