Re: Gephi – The Open Graph Viz Platform
#2Gephi is great for exploratory work, but I’ve seen it lure people into using methods that they don’t fully understand. The same problem that many statistics apps face.
IMO, a better approach to proper network analysis is to use a library such as the excellent igraph in R or Python together with a clear understanding of the measures.
There is a wonderful book called „network analysis literacy“ by Katharina Zweig which really helps with the latter.

#3Works well and results look good. There wasn't a release for a few years, so be sure to use the nightly version.

https://github.com/gephi/gephi/releases says 0.9.3 was released 21 days ago.
The previous, 0.9.2, was indeed in 2017.

#5I use Gephi a lot with work - it's helped explain lots of network complexity to leadership teams. They don't typically understand when you talk about risks of a network partition or node failure, but you visualize it and suddenly it's much more apparent. The circle layout, for me, works best with larger graphs.
My only quibble would be a better graph search function and highlighting.

The 0.9.3 version has just come out yesterday, announcement to come on the blog.
https://github.com/gephi/gephi/releases/tag/v0.9.3
It was in pre-release for a few weeks to address any regressions.

Oh. Lucky coincidence. Great to have an official release again.

#8Is this once again another self contained one with plug-in architecture?
Or can it call from external like lisp-stat (sorry if not really apologetic) …
And given it is seem step into my current search for social simulation env, how can this visionisation give itself to statistical analysis result and then move into some parameters (programming) so we can simulate, collect, trial some strategy (both manual or limited old style programming like lisp or even go for new era AI which look at output pattern/input/policy …
Or more side track a bit but perhaps also important run or at least control under exploratory Jupiter-lab notebook. If not programming at least as documentation and testing / demo to fellow researcher or just student.

Every once in a while I have a network related data science type problem to muddle through and I invariably want to try visualise some aspect of it, so I invariably try use Gephi for it, and it invariably leads to a frustrating experience for anything non trivial, and so I invariably end up doing it in code + graphviz instead.
