I was wondering if there was a way to change the node shapes from circle (or ellipse) to say rectangle, triangle, hexagon, etc.

Re: Changing node shapes
Of course,
Open the visualisation options panel like this one, then open Nodes, and choose the default shape: disk 2d, sphere 3d, or rectangle. More shapes could be added with the help of the community.

Re: Changing node shapes
Thanks. But what I meant was having different shapes in the same network. For instance, if the network has microRNA and genes or disease and genes, the ability to used different shapes for different categories/classes of nodes would make graph more intuitive. I tried using the GML file exported from Cytoscape (with different shapes for the nodes) but when it is opened in Gephi the colors are retained but the shapes are lost (i.e., all the nodes are of same default shape).

Re: Changing node shapes
Yes this is a limitation of our current design and may be fixed in a future release. I though it was in the roadmap, as many agreed this would be a very good improvement, but it wasn't so I updated the page.

Re: [TODO] Changing node shapes
Hi, I am also interested in displaying nodes in the same graph with different shapes. I have found this new Visualization API but I didn't see the set shape option. Does the current release of Gephi support this feature?
Thanks!
Mike

Re: [TODO] Changing node shapes
Hi, this API is currently under active development.

Re: [TODO] Changing node shapes AND node/edge patterns
Hi,
Is there a way to have patterned nodes or edges, i.e. a dashed line or striped node?
For the node shapes can we have a variety of shapes for one graph?
Thanks for your help.

Re: [TODO] Changing node shapes
Hi I have followed the steps above, and in the overview tab I have rectangular nodes (yay!). But when I go to the preview tab and refresh the nodes remain circular.... Please help!admin wrote:Of course,

I am a pretty new user and have Gephi 0.8.1 beta installed.
Thanks!

Re: [TODO] Changing node shapes
Hi,
Different node shapes are not implemented in preview yet. But it is not too difficult and will be definitely done in the future.
In fact, there is a simple example implementation of square shaped nodes here https://github.com/gephi/gephi-plugins-bootcamp
