[FIXED] dynamic mode unrecognised when everlasting nodes

[paul]

Hi there,

I wrote my own python code to generate a GEXF dynamic graph (will release code as soon as I know it's working).
But my graph isn't recognize as dynamic although the mode="dynamic" is present in graph tag.

So here was my question :
what are all the conditions for a graph to be recognized as dynamic ?

I tried several tricks (adding dynamic node attributes, use the dynamic edges from example http://gexf.net/data/dynamics.gexf) and finally discovered that you have to have at least one node with a starting date precised (all my node were everlasting).

mmm is that a good thing ?

Please post a sample of the generated file: mode="dynamic" should be enough.

Ok so I think I find a bug.

To reproduce it.

• - Take the file dynamics.gexf from gexf.net

  $wget http://gexf.net/data/dynamics.gexf

  - open it with gephi and check it is well recognized as dynamic
  
  - then edit it and remove only the start="2009-03-01" from node id=0

  Code: Select all

  <nodes>
        <node id="0" label="Gephi" start="2009-03-01">

  becomes

  Code: Select all

  <nodes>
        <node id="0" label="Gephi" >

  - open it again with gephi and see that it is recognized as static

Can someone confirm this ?
Should I post this bug somewhere ?

This is a bug. You can report it on Launchpad.

This behavior occurs because dynamic attributes are not supported yet, and will be added this summer.
