Mastering Gephi Network Visualization

Creating new Gephi projects

Now that we've dissected and improved upon some existing network graphs, the time has come to develop our own projects from scratch. This will involve a number of steps, and will allow us to fold in much of what has been covered thus far in this book. Here's a summary level synopsis for everything we'll do to create our projects—it's a long list, but you should be well prepared to handle each of these steps based on what we've covered to this point.

Here are the steps, arranged in a typical order, although some of these steps could be swapped (such as the steps involving statistics and filtering):
