I am trying to update a apoc plugin for Gephi, so that I can send weights from Neo4j to Gephi. This is the original version of the plugin. What was my thinking that I could easily rearrange
private Map<String, Object> data(PropertyContainer pc, Map<String, Map<String, Object>> colors) {
if (pc instanceof Node) {
Node n = (Node) pc;
String labels = Util.labelString(n);
Map<String, Object> attributes = map("label", caption(n), "TYPE", labels);
attributes.putAll(positions());
attributes.putAll(color(labels,colors));
return map(idStr(n), attributes);
}
if (pc instanceof Relationship) {
Relationship r = (Relationship) pc;
String type = r.getType().name();
Map<String, Object> attributes = map("label", type, "TYPE", type);
attributes.putAll(map("source", idStr(r.getStartNode()), "target", idStr(r.getEndNode()), "directed", true));
attributes.putAll(color(type, colors));
return map(String.valueOf(r.getId()), attributes);
}
return map();
}
to something like this, where I would change how relationship is being parsed, and add a weight to return
private Map<String, Object> data(PropertyContainer pc, Map<String, Map<String, Object>> colors) {
if (pc instanceof Node) {
Node n = (Node) pc;
String labels = Util.labelString(n);
Map<String, Object> attributes = map("label", caption(n), "TYPE", labels);
attributes.putAll(positions());
attributes.putAll(color(labels,colors));
return map(idStr(n), attributes);
}
if (pc instanceof Relationship) {
Relationship r = (Relationship) pc;
String type = r.getType().name();
String weight = r.getProperty("weight");
Map<String, Object> attributes = map("label", type, "TYPE", type);
attributes.putAll(map("source", idStr(r.getStartNode()), "target", idStr(r.getEndNode()), "directed", false,"weight",weight));
attributes.putAll(color(type, colors));
return map(String.valueOf(r.getId()), attributes);
}
return map();
}
Now the problem occurs that I am a JAVA noob and have no idea how to interact with JAVA data types. I found this documentation on property container, where i found the getProperty(String key)
method and I tried to use it, like above but got the next error
/Users/Hal/Job/neo4j-apoc-procedures/src/main/java/apoc/gephi/Gephi.java:81: error: incompatible types: Object cannot be converted to String String weight = r.getProperty("weight");
I think this is some basic JAVA problem, but I have no idea how to debug this. I also tried String weight = r.getProperty(weight);
but got the same error. Help appreciated
