Weighting: Line Thickness and/or Node Proximity??
Posted: 20 Feb 2012 07:47
Hi,
I have a weighted two-mode network, and like that the lines are, well, weighted, to reflect the overlap between groups. However, it surprises me that two groups with high overlap are not located closer. The network layouts often have two-highly correlated nodes on opposite sides, which seems counter-intuitive. I am not doing anything special, i.e. just loading the data, and seeing the resultant layout. Is there a particular command/setting that could help out towards re-arranging the nodes locations based on the magnitude of the weights?
Thanks!
John
