[SOLVED] Timeline?

[pbookworm]

So, I have an edge list, for example

1 3
5 3
6 3.

Then I have another data file with the years for each of these numbers:

1 2010
2 1999
3 1985
4 2009
5 2007
6 1999.

Is there any function on Gephi where I could create a dynamic graph using the dates file?

Thanks!

Do the nodes exist since these dates, or do they exist only at that time? Following I'll assume that the node 1 only exists in 2010, not before, not after, and so on for the other nodes.

Here is a workaround:

In Data Lab, nodes table, create a column named "date" (or whatever) of type Integer and fill it with the years for each node. Then:
1. Merge Columns (button on the bottom). Select "date", and choose the merge strategy "create time interval".
2. In the option window: Start and End column will be "date". Fill the End to blank for nodes existing from this date. Press OK.

That's it! You have now a new Time Interval column. To see it as graphics, go to Configuration of the table, and check "Time intervals as graphics".

You can also encode your data this way and importing them with the Data Lab > Import Spreadsheet feature.
