Publishing Gephi graphs on Mapbox
Posted: 31 Mar 2013 18:20
Hi,
I managed to publish a Gephi graph on MapBox, which is essentially a one-stop solution for hosting tile-based maps. It's not an easy process, but it's not hard either. I learned how to do it because hosting is free, and I don't have a server anyway.
Some programming knowledge is needed to export node data to properly render it, I don't see a way around Toolkit for now. It would be nice if a plugin existed to export node data to CSV, that would make the process easy for non-programmers.
The process is described here: http://virostatiq.com/publishing-gephi- ... -tilemill/
First map I published is here: http://virostatiq.com/exploring-hollywo ... -and-tags/
I'd be happy to give more information if it's needed. I hope someone can use this procedure to publish their own map.
Best,
Marko
