Gephipy 0.0.2

A wrapper of Gephi toolkit for Python

Gephipy

This project is Python wrapper of Gephi toolkit, thanks to Jpype which does the bindings between Java and Python.

It provides helpers to easy the use of Gephy toolkit for Pythonist, even if you still ned to know the Java API.

How to use

• Install the lib pip install gephipy

• Import gephipy

from gephipy import gephipy

Then you can use the Gephi toolkit or the GephiPy features.

Example

from gephipy import gephipy

#
# Create a workspace

#
# Compute some metrics

#
# Apply appearance
# Here it is really looks like java code
#

# Size Make node size based on centrality
centralityColumn = graphModel.getNodeTable().getColumn(GraphDistance.BETWEENNESS)
centralityRanking = appearanceModel.getNodeFunction(centralityColumn, RankingNodeSizeTransformer)
centralityTransformer = centralityRanking.getTransformer()
centralityTransformer.setMinSize(10)
centralityTransformer.setMaxSize(100)
appearanceController.transform(centralityRanking)


# Color by community
communityColumn = graphModel.getNodeTable().getColumn(Modularity.MODULARITY_CLASS)
colorPartition = appearanceModel.getNodeFunction(communityColumn, PartitionElementColorTransformer)
partition = colorPartition.getPartition()
palette = PaletteManager.getInstance().generatePalette(partition.size(graphModel.getGraph()))
partition.setColors(graphModel.getGraph(), palette.getColors())
appearanceController.transform(colorPartition)


#
# Run Layouts

#
# Export your graph
