Changing node size in dynamic graph

lauren09 · Post by **lauren09** » 22 Nov 2016 01:59

I'm trying to change the node size depending on time-dependent values and am not having much luck. I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong (e.g. how I've set up the data as a first-time gephi user) or if it's the bug that has been referenced elsewhere in this forum (e.g. viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5582). I don't have an issue with the variable ("offending_frequency") appearing under the 'ranking' option for nodes, but the nodes don't actually change size according to the values found in this variable. I've attached an example csv file of my data. It appears to load in gephi fine (I think - see screenshot).

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi,
Make sure you import your columns with the correct type (see attachment).

Then it will appear in size ranking in appearance.

Also make sure you have latest updates installed.

Thanks for your reply. I've double checked those things you mentioned (importing correctly and updates) and still seem to have the same issue. I can see "offending_frequency" under nodes > ranking and I can select it using "auto apply" - however the nodes don't appear to change in size according to the values within "offending_frequency" (i.e. they are all exactly the same size across the timeline).

Can you post a few screenshots of the actions that you do?

Of course - please see below.

Importing node data.

Data after import (node).

Screen shot of imported edge data, in case it's relevant to the issue (eventually I'd like the edge weight to represent the growing number of co-offences between pairs across time...not sure yet how to set up this type of dynamic edge data)

Selecting appearance settings.

Example graph at end of timeline - all the nodes are the same size when they should end up as different sizes depending on dynamic values in "offending_frequency".

Hope that's useful - let me know if there is anything else that would help.

Hi,
You will need to click in "Auto Apply" button. It will change to a "Stop" button.

Thanks. Unfortunately even when I click 'auto apply' (so the 'stop' button appears) the nodes don't change size across the timeline.
