[TODO] dynamic coordinates

[asebian]

Dear fellows,

I`m converting small data sets to the gexf format trying to keep most of the information since I do not know what my colleagues who will do the analysis are going to. ;-> I`m dealing with dynamic 2D position data for nodes. As I found out studying the gexf documentation both 'attvalues' and 'viz:position' do accept dynamic attributes. I would prefer 'attvalues' to have the coordinates in the data laboratory. This is not the case with 'viz:position', right?

Is there a layout plugin that can deal with dynamic data columns? I unsuccessfully tried 'CoordinateView' and 'Geo View'.
BTW I was not able to create a dummy dexf document with a moving node using 'viz:position'.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi,

It's still not possible to show coordinates in Data Lab.

The GEXF format has room for dynamic position but this is not supported by Gephi yet. Many technical questions arise with sampling and interpolating points to make the system efficient on large networks. We started some discussions with Skye Bender-deMoll who is developing SoNIA. Maybe you should see if they made any progress on it.

cheers

Thanks a lot for your fast and competent reply.
I`ll just skip that part.

Great project thanks to your commitment!

Hi,

has there be any development on this topic? i'm interested in having nodes that move in space according to dynamic (x,y) positions. i'm having a column X with dynamic time intervals defined, to be used with Coordinate Layout.
The description of the Coordinate Layout says it works in continuous mode to allow dynamic changing of node positions, so I was guessing how i can get that to work (either through spreadsheet or gexf).
Any idea?
