Gephi forums

Hi!
I'm new about gephi and i'm trying with my first examples.
My very large problem now is something about labels, to let you understand better, this is a graph i made yesterday with the network of facebook pages "friends" of Donald Trump.
As you can see, i would like to show some labels, just the most important, but there are very many small labels all around. I tryed to set the dimension fitting the degree of the node, but all small labels remain, creating a disturbing "black writes cloud".
I would ask you, if it s possible, how do those things:

1) put a degree level under which LABELS ARE TRANSPARENT, for example says: all labels under degrees X are not visible. I already can set a color range (for ex from grey to black) but i cannot set a ALPHA TRANSPARENT range from 0 to 100%, for example, or something like that.

2) If it s possible, i would like set not a ABSOLUTE degree but RELATIVE to the cluster, so in a cloud made of little nodes, there will be the biggest of the cluster that is visible, and the other not.

i hope it s possible.
Thank you so much.

You can workaround it:

1. Go to Filters Window
2. Create a 'Topology - Degree Range' filter
3. Configure it so when you apply it, you only see the nodes that you would like to remove the labels from
4. Once filtered, go to data laboratory, where you will only see the filtered nodes.
5. Select all rows in the nodes table
6. Right click one row and choose 'Clear all...', then check the label column and accept the dialog (you can make a copy of the column first so you don't lose data).

Also, you can configure Gephi to show a column (or columns) different than label in the configure dialog in overview (next to the font size).

Actually, there is an easier way, filters has a button to hide labels of filtered nodes/edges.

i ve tried this options but clicking on it nothing happens

Note you have to click it every time you change filtering:

1. Configure the filter
2. Apply the filter
3. Click the hide labels button
4. Stop the filter to see the full graph with hidden labels
