Data Visualization Review: Gephi, Free Graph Exploration Software
As a contributor to Infosthetics, I recently had the opportunity to review Gephi. Here’s an excerpt from my post:
I do not often get to play with networks, yet I find them fascinating and full of knowledge gathering potential. The data visualization works of Moritz Stefaner, Jer Thorp, and Mark Lombardi captivate me. I am intrigued by relationships, how we perceive them, and how we can understand them.
Gephi, the “Open Graph Viz Platform”, is not just for the hobbiest node nerd. It is a hardcore, professional tool for network researchers and other smarty pants. If you know the difference between Yifan Hu and Fruchterman Reingold, then you can use this tool effectively. But you do not need to be rich, as the software is completely free to download and use.
So what is Gephi capable off? Check out the whole post on Infosthetics.
