[SOLVED] Exporting graph to Gexf format (String not File)

[ppareja]

Hi all!

I'm new using the Gephi Toolkit and I have to say it's really cool having so many possibilities by using the API programmatically instead of the app.

However, I've already been a while looking for a method/way to export a graph to its corresponding gexf format String instead to a File.
Does such a method exists?
How could I do that if not? (exporting it to a File and subsequently reading that file doesn't seem to me like a good option...)
Thanks in advance,

Cheers.

Yeah you can totally do that, check an example on this page

Code: Select all

Exporter exporterGraphML = ec.getExporter("graphml");     //Get GraphML exporter
exporterGraphML.setWorkspace(workspace);
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
ec.exportWriter(stringWriter, (CharacterExporter) exporterGraphML);
System.out.println(stringWriter.toString());

This is with GraphML format, just change with GEXF.
