Cytoscape Decision Tree
A decision tree where diamond-shaped 'decision' nodes branch into rectangular 'outcome' leaves — the classic flowchart shape vocabulary, laid out top-down using the Dagre extension so every yes/no path is cleanly aligned. Edge labels carry the branch condition (Yes / No / values)

When to use this template
This visualization excels at clarifying complex sequential decision processes, making the logic behind various outcomes transparent. Analysts use it to trace every possible path from an initial state to a final result, identifying critical decision points and understanding how different conditions lead to specific conclusions. It's ideal for auditing rule-based systems or explaining the mechanics of classification models.
- Data representing a series of conditional choices.
- Hierarchical structures with distinct decision and outcome nodes.
- Edges labeled with clear, discrete branching conditions.
- Terminal nodes categorized by final class or status.
- Datasets where tracing specific paths is key to insight.
- Moderate number of nodes and edges for readability.
