Sauro  \nDepartment of Bioengineering  \nUniversity of Washington  \nSeattle, WA 98195  \nNovember 16, 2022  \nABSTRACT  \nSummary: The Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) is an extensible standard format for exchanging biochemical models. One of the extensions for SBML is the SBML Layout and Render package. This allows modelers to describe a biochemical model as a pathway diagram. However, up to now there has been little support to help users easily add and retrieve such information from SBML. In this application note, we describe a new Python package called SBMLDiagrams. This package allows a user to add layout and render information or retrieve it using a straightforward Python API. The package uses skia-python to support the rendering of the diagrams, allowing export to commons formats such as PNG or PDF.  \nAvailability: SBMLDiagrams is publicly available and licensed under the liberal MIT open-source license. The package is available for all major platforms. The source code has been deposited at GitHub ([github.com/sys-bio/SBMLDiagrams](github.com/sys-bio/SBMLDiagrams)). Users can install the package using the standard pip installation mechanism: pip install SBMLDiagrams.  \nContact: [hsauro@uw.edu](hsauro@uw.edu)  \nSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.  \n1 Introduction  \nThe Systems biological Markup Language (SBML) [1] is a markup language to describe biochemical models of biological systems. SBML is used primarily to allow the exchange of models between different software tools. To read and write SBML, users are recommended to use the software library libSBML [2] . libSBML allows users to read, write and create SBML documents from a wide range of languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python. libSBML also supports extensions such as SBML layout and render [3] which allows users to describe biochemical models as pathway diagrams. The layout is used to describe the positions of elements on a canvas while the render extension is used to describe how elements are rendered in graphical form. libSBML, however, can be dif􀀂cult for new users to learn requiring fairly detailed knowledge of the layout and render object model. See Supplementary.  \nIn this application note, we describe a python package called SBMLDiagrams that allows users to easily read, write, create and view layout and render speci􀀂cations for a biochemical model without requiring an understanding of the underlying object model. The package makes use of python-libSBML, simplesbml [4], and skia-python to add and inspect the layout and render part of SBML 􀀂les as well as render the diagram to a variety of formats such as PNG and PDF. SBMLDiagrams support all speci􀀂c layout elements.  \nA PREPRINT-NOVEMBER 16, 2022  \n2 Methods  \nSBML level 3 supports layout and render information. The Layout describes the positions and sizes of different graphical objects, including compartments, species, and reactions. The render describes the color and shape information. SBMLDiagrams can be used to read, write, create and/or visualize SBML 􀀂les based on the layout and render information. If an SBML 􀀂le contains no layout or render information, SBMLDiagrams can be used to add this information.  \n2.1 Working with SBML Layout and Render  \nSBMLDiagrams can be used to read and edit the layout and render of an existing SBML model which can be subsequently exported to an updated SBML model. A variety of color formats (as well as opacity) are supported including decimal RGB, HEX string, and all the HTML names ([https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp)).
