Example 4 - Advanced file upload#

Click here to download the advanced map. It is a .zip archive with the following structure:

advanced_map_example.xml: CellDesigner file with the main map
images: folder, for the Show overview function, containing:
- image files: overview_main.png and overview_sub.png
- coords.json: file linking the images and the content of the map
overlays: folder with the overlays loaded by default, containing a text file overlay example.txt
submaps: folder with submaps for this project, containing one submap - CellDesigner file submap_example.xml
config.json: a config file linking the main map and the submap, and providing initial configuration parameters on project upload

Upload steps#

Upload the file: Load the advanced map to your MINERVA instance using the Choose file button in Create project and examine the upload window. Note that additional sections have appeared.
Maps: All diagram files are listed, with Root map indicating the main diagram of the project. ::: info-box Note Mapping file is optional and primarily for backwards compatibility. Earlier mapping of links between diagrams was provided in a separate file. Now, and in this example file, mapping is provided via config.json. :::
Images: This section lists images for Browse overview images functionality.
Overlays: This section lists automatically uploaded overlays. Their names and descriptions are taken from overlay metadata (see data overlay example)

Overlay files: One predefined overlay in General overlays named Overlay example is available for non-registered users.

Overlays in submaps

Upon switching to a custom colouring (Overlays tab) contents of the submap_example are coloured as the contents of the main map.
go to submap element in the main map has a horizontal colouring. This is because go to submap is a direct link to a submap and visualises the colouring pattern of that submap.

In the Submaps tab, the uploaded submap_example is visible.
In the Search tab, if you look for PRKN or SNCA, the results in both main map and the submap will be shown.
go to submap element in the main map links directly to the submap. In the left panel there is a button allowing to directly open the linked submap.

Images were provided and configured via the coords.json, thus:

Show overview button is displayed, invoking one of the uploaded images.
Links between the images and links to the map are configured.
The link from Active area 3 invokes a search query and highlights interactions in the (sub)maps.
