Give color to node

[bstewart1]

I am trying to visualise a biological network.
I would like to give each node a unique color and am trying to use the plugin "give color to node".
I am aware that this doesn't work in 0.9 so am using 0.8.2.
I'm using OSX sierra
I have an attribute named color which has a hex label for each node, but I get the error "no node attribute containing "color" or "colour" could be found".
When I first start install I get an message saying: "the module named... org.gephi.data.attrributes.api was needed and not found... the module named org.gephi.tools.api was needed and not found... the module named org.gephi.graph.api was needed and not found... the module named org.gepi.project.api was needed and not found"


So I think the answer is to load/install these api, and despite looking quite hard I still don't have any ideas how to do this?

Anyone know?

Hi, 0.8.2 plugins don't work in 0.9+

If you are using 0.8.2 and still does not work try to install updates (check instructions at https://github.com/gephi/gephi/releases/tag/v0.8.2)

Using 0.8.2
Updates are all installed and the source URLS correct.

Is it not something to do with the .api?

This error ("org.gephi.data.attrributes.api was needed and not found...") should not happen in 0.8.2.

Did you install the plugin manually with a downloaded nbm? Try to uninstall it in Tools - Plugins menu, then reinstall the plugin from that dialog.

Hi thanks for your advice.
I uninstalled 0.8.2 -> reinstalled 0.8.2 -> downloaded the plugin from tools menu -> It now works coloring my nodes but only if I copy the colors into a new attribute column in R.
Happy to live with that comprimise for the time being.
Possibly we'll get a color to node in 0.9 some time in the not too distant?

Thanks,
