In my cytoscape network I would like to plot small custom images (barcharts) above each edge. I cannot find a app in the appstore that suits my needs.
The workaround would be to have custom node pictures, I know I can select the graphics manually. But is there also a way to automate this. So it uses a specific graph for each node? I can then have a directory filled with barcharts images and automatically plot these as custom images on the nodes, without the need to do this manually for hundreds or thousands of network nodes :)
I hope my question is not too vague, thank you.

Maybe I'm not fully understanding your question and no one has chimed in yet, but I am unaware of a package to automate just what you are interested in doing in Cytoscape.
I've done something similar very easily with my graphs as a vector output from R or matplotlib and place the images with your vector output from Cytoscape in a illustration interface (such as Adobe Illustrator), this was easy for me because I was only showing graphs for 20 nodes.
With the number of nodes you are considering, this sounds like you have a reasons to write a plugin now? Another thing to consider: is this the best way to visualize hundreds or thousands of graphs?
I did not scroll down enough to see this answer box. Not knowing how visible my edits (above) will be, I will try adding them here as well.
Cheers!
