Visualizing .net files as dynamic networks in Gephi

[godzila__]

Hi,

I need to import and visualize .net (Pajek) files as dynamic network. Here is an excerpt from the file:

*Vertices 27
1 "Darren Guard" [2007,2008,2009]
2 "Justin Clark-Casey" [2007,2008,2009]
3 "Brian McBee" [2007,2008]
4 "Adam Frisby" [2007,2008,2009]
5 "Teravus Ousley" [2007,2008,2009]
6 "Michael Ortman" [2007,2008]
.......
.......
.......
*Arcs
14 15 1 [2009]
26 15 22 [2007,2008,2009]
5 4 194 [2007,2008]
6 14 1 [2008]
5 6 49 [2007,2008]
........
........
........


Importing the .net file in Gephi, all the nodes IDs, labels, edges (source,target,type, id and weight) are imported correct. The only thing that is missing are the time stamps (e.g. [2007,2008,2009]) and the graph is therefore static.

Is there any way to import these time stamps in order to make the graph dynamic? I do not have experience in programming, so if there is any possibility to convert the .net file to .csv (since .csv supports dynamics) it would be wonderful.


Thank you very much for your answers.

Hi,
Check time intervals syntax here: https://gephi.org/users/supported-graph ... readsheet/
Nodes and edges can exist in one or more intervals and each interval is specified as:

Code: Select all

[start, end]

Start and end can be numbers, dates (2012-07-08) or datetimes (2012-07-08T17:13:00.000).
Also, open the configuration dialog in Data Laboratory for some more options about dynamic data.
