[SOLVED] Creating a tree view

[gregfromgilbert]

I'm new to Gephi but have been playing with it quite a bit over the last several days. Very cool software.

I have a 1300 node tree that I've loaded and I'm trying to figure out how best to make it look "tree-like". At first I thought the "gravity" attribute in the "Force Atlas" layout would perhaps get all my child nodes pushed down and the parents with lots of children raised to the top. Is there any way to do this or at least come close to presenting a graph that is a tree?

I also thought the Partition function might do this. Following the tutorial I ran statics for Modularity (=.737), then went to Partition and hit refresh, but never got any Partition options in the list.

Hi greg,

We don't have any tree layout currently. We only use a hierarchical structure (partitioning a graph into sub-graphs) to slice and view a graph at different levels. I hope someone in the community will add this kind of layout, as we expose a clean Layout API for doing this.

OK, thanks for the quick reply. I will probably drag several of the key nodes to appropriate locations to at least simulate a tree.
