database columns for direct import in Gephi, esp node colour
Posted: 10 Jan 2012 21:29
Hi all,
I've been piloting Gephi at work for financial transaction visualization. Folks are really impressed so a big thanks to the Gephi team for such great work.
Currently I'm successfully importing nodes and edges from a postgres database, including edge weights from a column called 'weight' and nodes sizes from a column called 'size'.
I would be grateful for some help on all the column names (and types if relevant) I can use to import into Gephi.
In particular, I am really keen to know how I can import node and edge colours as the users wish to avoid doing that mark up manually once data has come into Gephi.
I tried having a column called 'color' with content "[123,55,66]" and "123,55,66" but neither of these works.
Thanks
Rich
