Plug-ins
Plug-ins extend the functionality of Gephi. However, plug-ins aren't
necessarily robust or stable. Anyone can author a plug-in and make it
available. Save your work first, before using a plug-in. Following are a few
commonly used plug-ins:
•
Noverlap
—Use this to adjust positions of nodes slightly so that none
overlap. This one is very useful.
•
OpenOrd
—This is a fast force-directed layout algorithm.
•
GeoLayout
—
This is a layout where nodes are placed geographically
using latitude/longitude coordinates. If your data has addresses or ZIP
codes, you must first convert them into latitude/longitude.
•
MapOfCountries
—This draws a map behind the geolayout. Note that
sometimes issues arise with alignment, column names, drawing in
preview mode with curved edges, and there is no apparent way to
remove the map once it has been added.
•
Force Atlas 3D
—This is a three-dimensional (3D) layout you can use
when Gephi is in 3D mode. However, in most cases, 3D is not going to
be effective because it will result in more nodes being obscured by other
nodes.
