[SOLVED] Visualisation of Persons Relationship

[furanku]

Hi,

is it possible to visualise relationship of people by Gephi? Like this one is a friend of this one, who is known by another one, who is a friend of the former....
And if so, can someone point me to how I can achieve it, please?

Thanks

Hi,

It's simple: all you have to do is to create a graph file encoding the nodes (people) and edges (relationships). You'll find the list of our supported graph formats here.

For instance, someone developed a Facebook application to do so: http://thepoliticsofsystems.net/2010/03 ... -to-gephi/

Thanks for quick reply.

But I still dont know exactly what Gephi is doing:
-Can I just take my friends and connections between them as an XML file (graph format) and node positions are done by Gephi? Which is what Im looking for.
-Or do I have to compute positions of nodes by a separate application and its output is taken by Gephi which is doing the visualisation part only?
