[SOLVED] Color and attributes

[martinusdk]

I am new to Gephi and my question might reflect that.

How can I give the nodes color according to their attributes (e.g. gender or department)? Seems difficult - is it because I work from a .net file?

Hi,

Gephi doesn't import attributes from .net files, only the graph structure: http://gephi.org/users/supported-graph- ... et-format/

Yes you can use for instance GDF or GML to add attributes to each of your nodes. Then use the Partition module to use these data to color each part in a different color.

What is it GDF or GML? How is it use?

I've used my own partitioning algorithm in R and imported the resulting network using GraphML. The partition data is an integer (0-26).

While the data is recognized for ranking, Gephi does not seem to recognize the data for partitions. It does not show up in the drop down in the partition module. Is there a way I can get it to show up as a partition.

Coloring partitions using ranking is not ideal.

Partition has a little trick to differentiate partitions data from columns like IDs

A column is a partition if the number of different values is not more than 9/10 of total values. In other words if you have 10 rows and 10 different values it's not a partition. If you have 5 different values in 10 rows, it is.

That's probably why Partition don't find your column
