Dynamic Playback

[mkopack]

Likewise, I'm wondering how you guys got that video working. From what I could make out, you were dynamically loading data in on the fly in real-time (ie, not a pre-set data file.) I need to do something similar (probably via a socket stream) for some work I'm doing here and I don't get how to do that. The documentation is pretty, well, useless.

How does one push data in constantly and have the network diagram change on the fly? Is that capability even there? Do I need to write a plug in? If so, how does one do that?

Any help is appreciated guys!

(And seriously, take some time and work on the documentation. It would help all of us trying to use this thing if the docs were a bit more helpful!)

At that time I made a plugin to load a GEXF file incrementaly, with 50 nodes per second or something like this. The aim was to simulate incoming data through external datasource to test our code. This plugin was done for 0.6 version and is therefore not working anymore in the new architecture.

So we didn't load data at run-time. This was our first experiment on dynamics, in 2008. Note that we have a Summer of Code project called Graph Streaming API to implement this feature in a proper way.

I'm happy to share my work with the gephi community as soon as I have my results. I'll let you know in the next couple of weeks...

Looking forward for some your feedback

Hi,
Im having problem to play the demo gexf dynamics file in 0.7 alpha4
see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSUUPdAUeTw

I managed to get some filtering behaviour out by modifying the dynamic range in
the data laboratory, although it seems that I have to press filter button after each
change on the timescale, so it is really inconvenient compared to how it looks
on the demo video http://www.vimeo.com/2035117

Hi,

I've uploaded a better example: http://gexf.net/data/dynamics.gexf

I also completed the Dataset page with the one used on the video: http://wiki.gephi.org/index.php/Datasets#Other_networks
Download the Dynamic Java code.

Thanks for the report.
