Reformating SBGN File Layout and Exporting in Original Format Instead of JSON or PNG

[nvelden]

Can Syblars be used to adjust the layout of an SBGN (Systems Biology Graphical Notation) file? Let's consider an SBGN file where all x and y coordinates within <bbox> are set to zero.

Is it possible to upload this SBGN file, apply the necessary formatting to correct the coordinates, and then download the modified file again in its original SBGN format, as opposed to JSON or PNG?

Currently, Syblars doesn't support updating the layout information in SBGNML file. It's one of the future works. For now, you can programmatically set node positions in SBGN file by using the JSON output. If you need this feature only for a few SBGN files, you can also use Newt Editor by just loading the file, applying a layout and then saving it again in SBGN format.
