How to set visual graph attributes for Gephi in booggie 2?

booggie saves graphs in the GraphML format which can also be opened in the graph visualization tool Gephi.

Is there a way to define the visual appearance of nodes in Gephi with attributes that are accessible in booggie?

Solution

  • For nodes, the following attributes are directly understood by Gephi:

    Position:

    • x:double
    • y:double
    • z:double

    Watch out: If you use these attributes, the layouters can't modify the position of the nodes anymore

    Color:

    • r:int
    • g:int
    • b:int

    Label:

    • label:string

    Regarding edges, I don't know. The only thing I know is that edges can have a weight attribute that impacts the thicknes of edges.
