Is this feature possible?
Posted: 18 Jul 2012 16:10
I enjoy using Gephi and now I wonder if some particular features are possible that I couldn't find yet or that are hard to judge without going into details. Maybe you can advise me if the following is possible:
- setting custom icons for nodes
- selecting a node and nearest (plus next-nearest) neighbors easily
- clicking on a node and displaying it's properties easily or even showing a custom prepared tooltip
- embedding parts of Gephi display in a browser
- scripting Gephi from an external Python program (by some socket/data communication?)
- writing a plugin that adds some parametrised search functionality: I have common operations like finding a nodes and showing nearest neighbors; showing all paths connecting some nodes; etc. -> I'd like to automate this with some custom parameter entry; maybe even a tree view for showing a hierarchy of selectable parameters (e.g. type and subtype of node properties); I suppose I need Java and I'd write a plugin?; Which set of options for display do I have (e.g. arbitrary Java class?) and where to get started?
I'd appreciate if you could give me a hint about possibilities and some advise to get started
