![]() “write.gexf” also allows users to assign any type of node and edge attributes to nodes and edges in the network. Given the Les Miserables network in the “igraph” format (denoted as “gD”), we can easily create a data frame describing network nodes as: ame(ID = c(1:vcount(gD)), NAME = V(gD)$name)Īnd data frame describing network edges as: as.ame(get.edges(gD, c(1:ecount(gD)))) gexf file, I used “write.gexf” function. This function creates a gexf representation of a network, based on a user specified data frames describing network nodes and edges. ![]() See the bottom of this post for full code. For more information, see Network visualization – part 1). The idea is to use “rgexf” to create a network visualization in Gephi that captures the network patterns in the similar way the network visualization in “RCytoscape”/Cytoscape did. I will also use the same node and edge properties: the degree of a node, betweenness centrality of a node, Dice similarity of two nodes, and the coappearance weight. To demonstrate how this works, I will use the same network I used to demonstrate network visualization in Cytoscape – the weighted network of characters’ coappearances in Victor Hugo’s novel “Les Miserables” ( LesMiserables.txt). gexf file that contains information about network nodes and edges (and their properties) such file can be loaded and visualized by Gephi. ![]() Unfortunately, a current version of the “rgexf” package does not support real-time network visualization and exploration. Gephi is a great network visualization tool that allows real-time network visualization and exploration, including network data spatializing, filtering, calculation of network properties, and clustering. In the second part of my “how to quickly visualize networks directly from R” series, I’ll discuss how to use R and the “ rgexf” package to create network plots in Gephi.
