Is it possible to separate a bi-directional edge in gephi?

Question

I have imported a GraphML file I built in R into Gephi. The file contains a list of edges from 1 node to another. Nodes that point to each other are combined into 1 bi-directional edge. Is it possible to separate the edges? (Gephi forum seems to be 404)

Example:

• Node A -> Node B
• Node A -> Node B
• Node B -> Node A

Gephi is turning this into 1 edge of weight 3.

I would like to show 2 edges:

• 1 from A -> B with weight of 2
• 1 from B -> A with weight of 1.

If Gephi can't do this, do you know of another program (Or R package?) that can?

Answer 1

Using igraph for example:

library(igraph)
graph_from_literal(A-+B, A-+B, B-+A, simplify=F) %>%
  set_edge_attr("width", value = 1) %>%
  simplify(edge.attr.comb = list(width="sum", "ignore")) %>%
  plot(edge.curved = .5)
