Use Gephi to layout the graph

Gallery of screenshots, documenting the force layout process.

Please note that choosing the right parameters, or even the layout algorithm depends on the size and nature of your graph. The Force Atlas is however a good algorithm to start.

Open Gephi and open _graph.gexf in your /_processed/ folder.

The import settings should be already correct.

If everything went fine, an unlayouted graph should be imported with node colors and sizes already calculated.

Choose a layout algorithm in the "Layout" sidebar view. "Force Atlas" is a recommended starting point.

Start the layouting process and adjust the parameters

Export the layouted graph through File > Export > Graph File

You MUST name it _graph_layouted.gexfand save it to the _processed directory.

Now you can head to the mobo graph explorer. Enjoy the view :)
