Description
Gephi is a flexible desktop application and a visual framework: it does not constrain the user
to do some tasks in a predefined way. On the contrary, the user is free to rearrange the
environment, move panels, show/hide windows, etc. The GUI is set by default for three task
families grouped as Overview, Data Laboratory and Preview.

Modes are accessible under the main menu:

• Overview: graph manipulation mode.


• Data Laboratory: data visualization in tables.
• Preview: visual tuning before vectorial export.

Each batch needs to download the respective dataset, import it in the Gephi tool, and
show the below-given task for your project.

The task to be carried out:


1. Select Highlight nodes under the cursor.
2. Edge selection color Incoming links are colored differently than outgoing links.
3. Heatmap Set color intensity on a node neighborhood, by the distance.
4. Multiple select Nodes are selected under the rectangle.
5. Shortest path Display the shortest path if exists between two clicked nodes.
6. Layout: Select an algorithm and set parameters on the fly. Save them into presets.
7. Ranking: Set numerical attributes to distribute node/edge colors, sizes, label colors and
label sizes. Right-click on the window to display the ranked list of nodes or edges.
8. Partition: Node or edge grouping on an attribute or computed metric. A color is assigned
to each group and can be changed by right-clicking on the window.
9. Statistics/metrics: Run metrics and save reports in HTML. Node and edge computed
results are available as attributes.
10. Filters: A library of filters is available to combine. Drag the filter (e.g., Degree Range) to
build the query, and then set the parameters visually. Finally, apply the query output to
select elements or to filter them. When filtering is activated, changes appear in real-time.
11. Visualization: Fine tuning on nodes, edges, and labels rendering.
