I can't get Preview mode to put arrows on directed graphs edges, even though I've checked the "Arrows' box in the Preview Settings panel under Directed. I see the mutual arrows when there are edges in both directions between two nodes, but when it's a unidirectional edge, the arrows don't seem to appear. (They show up just fine in the regular view, it's just in Preview more where they dont' appear). Is this feature supported yet?


I'm running version 0.7 alpha3 on Mac OS X 10.6.3.

Hi lorin, make sure that the edges are not curved, or arrows won't show.

Thank, eduramiba, turning off curved edges worked.

Hmmmm... though I have had arrows working before, mine does not seem to draw arrows on directed edges in preview mode when the edges are straight... anyone else have this problem?

Yes, Acrobeles, I'm having the same problem.

I was having a similar problem. The issue I had was the distance between nodes was too small for the arrows to appear. Try separating your nodes more to fix the problem.

hello
I have the same problem about arrows with gephi 0.8... for me it's impossible to put arrows in directed edge... straights or curved, it's the same for me... I just can't have the arrows and I really need it in my graph !
Anyone knows about it ? maybe I'm just forgot something.
I'll really appreciate if someone can explain me how can I do it !!!
thank's
peyo

Did you reduced the "Arrow Radius" parameter?

It controls the minimum distance between the node and the arrow. When this distance is low, the arrow are not displayed.
