Import edge direction from networkfile

I have a network file created using a tool developed by me, the network file looks like this

GeneA     GeneB     <-
GeneB     GeneC     ->
GeneD     GeneC     ->
GeneD     GeneF     <-

Importing the network itself was successfully done, but I am looking for a way to import the directions in the network. Since the directions are not always the same, can somebody tell me how to import such directions into cytoscape. I have looked a lot and could not find the solution.

In Cytoscape.js you can put arrows to four different locations (see the documentation for more details).

The standard one for a directed graph would be arrows at the end of edge pointing towards to the target node. This can be achieved by setting target-arrow-shape to a supported shape (such as triangle, tee, vee and etc.). You also need to set the source and target of each edge properly. In your example 

GeneA     GeneB     <-

GeneB would be source and GeneA would be the target,

GeneB     GeneC     ->

GeneB would be source and GeneC would be the target and so on.

For different arrow types see this example.
