Applying layouts in succession can be effective for clarifying and improving
readability. Consider the following:
Force-directed adjustment —You can use the Force Atlas layout to
tweak another layout—for example, to pull it closer together. You can
apply Fruchterman-Reingold to pull apart the densely packed areas of
the graph, while at the same time pulling in far-flung nodes.
Small shifts —Layouts such as Noverlap (that is, no overlap) and Label
Adjust help shift node positions slightly to improve the visual clarity of
cluttered areas or increase spacing to improve readability.
Tip
Gephi makes it easy to mix and match different layouts, but be sure you
save layouts that you like. It may be impossible to re-create a
force-directed layout.
In conjunction with layout, basic navigation is simple. You can use a mouse
wheel to zoom, and you can drag with the right mouse button to pan. If you
happen to navigate to an empty screen, you can use the Reset Zoom button.
