Interpretation of time window?

seinecle · Post by **seinecle** » 27 Feb 2012 21:37

Hi,

My question relates to the values of dynamic attributes for nodes and edges within a time window. To make it clearer:

- you import a gexf which has a dynamic node attribute with different values every day
-you activate the timeline
- you select time range (a time window) from, say, 1989-01-01 to 1989-01-31
- you do a ranking and select "continuous ranking", resizing the node according to this attribute

=> the question is, what value of the attribute is taken into account for the resize?
- an average of the values of this attribute comprised between 1989-01-01 and 1989-01-31?
- the value corresponding to the latest date or the earliest?
or ... ??

Thanks!

Clement

Hi,

It is an average value of this attribute between the two boundaries. Btw, node size is proportional to the range values within these boundaries, so you can't compare nodes sizes of different time periods. This is an important issue Mathieu and I are still thinking about...

Yeah, I forgot about that one. Did we create a GitHub issue for it?

Yes we should, otherwise we'll forget again...

Btw do you think this should be the default behaviour or it should be an option? It would also affect static graphs. We would simply take the min/max of the main graph instead of the visible graph.

EDIT: Here is the issue https://github.com/gephi/gephi/issues/541

Okay that's fine for me know, thanks Mathieu for fixing it so fast.

Still on this topic:

I downloaded the latest source and compiled it, in order to use the "global" range ranking just added by Mathieu. The timeline displays correctly and can be enabled, but then the launch arrow on the left does not trigger anything. Is it because the new version of the timeline is work in progress and does not function yet, or is it due to something else?

Thx!

Hi Clement,
The play button now automatically moves the filter window that you can resize and move with the mouse, and configure with the buttons on the left.

Brilliant, it works!

(honestly, that's a few steps process to download the source with netbeans via the github plugin... I'm thinking making a screencast!)

But: I don't see the icon / button to switch from local-time window ranking to global-time ranking? Help?
