Gephi Description
Gephi is a data visualization tool that can be used to analyze the relation of the items in all sorts of networks. It can be used in various research projects for creating a graph of the interaction between various elements.
Quick installation routine
Installing it is an easy job that does not require any effort from the user. The interface is may not appear highly intuitive but after spending a few minutes checking the options everything should become clear.
Working with the application should not be too difficult, either, since inputting the elements composing the network consists in simply adding the information and labelling it for easier reference.
Options at a glance
Establishing the connections can also be accomplished with great ease, the only problem residing in making the right ones. Highlighting of the links is among the list of customization options of the graphical network.
The product provides the possibility to color the nodes or to make them larger as well as to highlight their connections; these are also displayed upon moving the mouse cursor over a node.
Also available is the possibility to drag the nodes and spread the network for a better view. Additionally, zooming in and out is achieved with the scroll wheel of the mouse.
Gephi can generate statistics on the entire network, which can include its density, modularity or connected component. Details about the nodes, like the average clustering coefficient are also accessible.
Flexible data visualization tool
The application has a lean learning curve and it is suitable even for professional projects that involve massive amounts of data. It has wide applicability in fields like biology, sociology and even IT and the large number of options makes Gephi very versatile.
