Name required for the "app to generate a visual representation of a relational map" #2

Closed arunge closed 1 year ago

@isomemo the current name of the repository (RelationalR) is just a placeholder for the future name of the app to generate a visual representation of a relational map. I just wanted to start collecting some information regarding the tasks and therefore created this repository. Please let me know if you have found the correct name that the app should get.

By the way, this repository is not yet open source, currently only members can read this issues.

check: "TraceR"

@isomemo The name TraceRis not available on CRAN:

> available::available("TraceR", browse = FALSE)
── TraceR ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Name valid: ✔
Available on CRAN: ✖ 
Available on Bioconductor: ✔
Available on GitHub:  ✖ 

However, if we do not want to publish the package for the new app on CRAN, this is not a problem at all. We did not check names of the other apps also since they are not on CRAN. I would just rename this repository to TraceR.

If the name should be available on CRAN, we need to choose another one. If needed, you can easily test different names with the function available that I used above. You only need to install the package available from CRAN.

Please, let me know how you would like to continue!

@arunge fine to have it as TraceR only on GitHub. More importantly, are the interaction options that we discussed:

1) Ability to travel along the network (as with our IsoMemo maps) and to Zoom in/out 2) Interact with network elements (e.g., click on a node and display associated metadata) 3) Search network element by name and focus on this 4) A special type of interaction which allows us to visualize the network within a node
