GraphML - loading graph-level attribs

[MarkHarwood]

I'm trying to offer a "drill-down" capability based on storing a "data source" URL for a graph in my GraphML and using it from a custom NodeManipulator to open webpages relating to nodes in the graph. I know there is already a plugin that lets me click hyperlinks if they are attributes of nodes but I want to avoid adding full URLs to every record (I have big enough graphs already).

It looked to me like GraphML and Gephi's object model can both represent this custom graph-level attrib but unfortunately the ImporterGraphML class doesn't look to be able to connect the two.
According to the GraphML spec I can have a custom "data" item where the "for" setting is "graph" but ImporterBuilderGraphML only looks to support settings for "node" and "edge".
As a result I thought I'd try sneak the datasource URL in as a value in the standard <desc> tag but ImporterBuilderGraphML doesn't look to parse that either.


Any other pointers?

Cheers
Mark

That might not be exactly what you are looking for but the Linkfluence plugin let you open URLs in one click
