Smart color chooser for clusters
Posted: 01 Apr 2012 16:53
Hi,
I hope it's not too late to submit an idea for the GSoC:
simply, the idea is to integrate the "colors for data scientists" into the relevant functions of Gephi?
This tool would be very, very useful to generate coherent color palettes when partitioning a network in different node colors, according to the clusters they belong. As you know, the colors generated at the moment are generally not nice: you can have clusters colorized in very similar hues, making it hard to distinguish them. Manual corrections are possible but bothersome, and lead to a still imperfect result.
