What is Reddit's opinion of Gephi?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I'd recommend Gephi - http://gephi.org/

1. I'm not sure about arbitary images at nodes, but gephi has a number of layout algorithms that avoid edge overlaps.
2. Gephi has a brilliant interface for performing these manual moves yourself.
3. I've worked on datasets with 10k nodes, 50k edges and had no issues - I even timestamped the nodes/edges and animated them.
4. Gephi does a good job on this and it has the manual manipulation tools for finetuning.

It's leaps and bounds ahead of graphviz in my opinion.

You might look at Arab Social Media Report number 2. From what I recall, they mention tweet volumes.

Simon Lindgren's Beginning Analysis of Media Discourse on the Arab Spring might also have something you want.

The Gephi project site has more stuff.

Hope something helped.

Working with Gephi is rather intuitive. You can request a bunch of measures, the ones you describe are certainly in there.

If you need more sophisticated measures, it will probably be less comprehensive then what is available in packages as igraph or sna, but with a point-and-click interface for both the measures and visualization of them.

As you talk about changes "over time", Gephi recently also got the ability to visualize the changes in the graph over time. Again, nice interface (time-slider), but I do not know if the necessary time-variant measures are also included.

Gephi should be able to handle the format you describe. Another package I frequently use for manipulating/creating networkdata, changing formats, etc. is NetworkX.

Hey /u/commonBambus! I made the Hanja Explorer:) I also had the same intuition as you when I was studying Korean, so I did the scraping and the visualization.

The graph is fairly large, so instead of displaying all of it, I allow users to explore it on their own. I made it available online too(https://github.com/pabloem/hanja-graph/raw/master/test_data/korean_unip_projection.graphml) and you can visualize it using Gephi (http://gephi.org), in case you want to check it out on your own.

Cheers!

Ah I didn't notice you had specified some points.

If you defined two points the solution will be unique up to a reflection (across the line between the two points).

Typically you can't solve all the the equations simultaneously, and instead you try to minimize the sum of the errors. You can't necessarily reproduce all the distances if you're trying to put them in 2D (but you can try 3D plots, or higher dimensions if you can think of a way to visualize it, with different colors maybe).

Somebody told me recently about a program called Gephi. It's for visualizing this sort of data, and all kinds of other data. I'm sure it can solve this problem and it's free and open source. I haven't used it personally, so I can't help you out more specifically. But you might enjoy playing around with it, or looking for some tutorials.

For those that are not aware, Gephi is a Java-based open source project for graph analysis and visualization.. It's available here: http://gephi.org/ ..

My plugin runs a proxy server based on Membrane: http://www.membrane-soa.org/soap-monitor-doc/embedding-router-java.htm

And graphs the client->resource<-host<-domain relationship, as well as resource->resource and is available at: http://gephi.org/plugins/http-graph/

There are two parts to this: (1) Getting data from its current format into a graph-friendly format, and (2) importing and visualizing it with software. (1) is the hard part. If you're willing to do it the tedious way, you can manually create an edgelist of authors and import it into gephi, which is easy if quirky to use. It'll look something like this process.

I'm a developer with gephi and they are sending me a t-shirt since I am a plugin developer. (This is a change from before when I was just employed by my university) See http://gephi.org/about/people/ for my picture. If you have any questions about the software please ask me!
