Gephi

Gephi is a tool for data analysts and scientists passionate about exploring and understanding graphs. Similar to Photoshop™ but for graph data, users interact with representations, manipulating structure, shape, and color to uncover hidden patterns. The goal is to assist data analysts in forming hypotheses, visually identifying patterns, isolating structural anomalies, or detecting faults during the data sourcing process. It serves as a complementary tool to traditional statistics, as visual thinking with an interactive interface is now recognized to enhance reasoning. This software is designed for exploratory data analysis, a paradigm emerging from the field of visual analytics research. Real-time Visualization Benefit from the fastest graph visualization engine, accelerating comprehension and pattern discovery in large graphs. Powered by its dedicated OpenGL engine, Gephi pushes the boundaries of interactive and efficient network exploration. Networks with up to 100,000 nodes and 1,000,000 edges Iterative visualization using dynamic filtering Rich tools for meaningful graph manipulation Layouts Layout algorithms give shape to graphs. Gephi offers state-of-the-art layout algorithms, excelling in both efficiency and quality. The layout palette allows users to adjust settings in real-time, significantly enhancing feedback and user experience. Force-based algorithms Optimized for graph readability Metrics The statistics and metrics framework provides the most common measures for social network analysis (SNA) and scale-free networks. Betweenness centrality, closeness, diameter, clustering coefficient, PageRank Community detection (modularity) Random graph generation Shortest path Dynamic Networks Over Time Gephi is at the forefront of innovation in dynamic graph analysis. Users can visualize how networks evolve over time by manipulating embedded timelines. Import time-based graphs using the GEXF file format Run metrics over time (e.g., clustering coefficient) Ready for graph streaming Create Cartography Make network representations meaningful using ranking or partitioned data. Customize colors, sizes, or labels to enhance clarity. The vector preview module allows final touches and aesthetic refinements before exporting to SVG or PDF. Customizable PDF, SVG, and PNG exports Save presets Dynamic Filtering Filter networks to select nodes and/or edges based on network structure or data. Use the interactive UI to filter networks in real-time. Create complex filter queries without scripting Build new networks from filtered results Save favorite queries Data Laboratory and Versioning Gephi features its own data lab with an Excel-like interface for managing data columns, searching, and transforming data. Powerful search/replace Column operations Batch editing, custom column merging, and more

Gephi is a leading graph and network visualization and exploration software designed to help data analysts and scientists explore, understand, and uncover hidden patterns and structures in graph data.
