I am working on a pagerank algorithm using Networkx module in Python. I have a dictionary of lists, where key of the dictionary is the Title of the page and its value is all the Titles referenced through that page.
So in order to create a visualization, I first did this:
G = nx.DiGraph()
G = nx.from_dict_of_lists(ref_dict)
where ref_dict
is the dictionary mentioned above.
After creating the graph, I am using Networkx's write_edgelist
function to store the Graph in the csv format.
nx.write_edgelist(subG,'PageRanks2.csv')
Herein lies my problem. The csv file is storing edges as:
node1 node2 {} node1 node3 {}
When I am using this file directly in Gephi, it treats the {} as a node and shows visualization accordingly. So what should be the best format to store the networkx graph to visualize it?
Use
write_gexf
function like:nx.write_gexf(G, "test.gexf")
, and open the file usingGephi
, then you'll see it.Reference https://networkx.github.io/documentation/networkx-1.10/reference/generated/networkx.readwrite.gexf.write_gexf.html#write-gexf
