Python: Create Gephi network graphs from Python?
I have just found out about GephiStreamer. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/GephiStreamer
Using this package one can send instructions from python to Gephi to create nodes and edges in Gephi.
# Create a node with a custom_property
node_a = graph.Node("A",custom_property=1)
# Create edge
edge_ab = graph.Edge(node_a,node_b,custom_property="hello")
stream.add_edge(edge_ab)
Similarly I want to do everything in Gephi through Python. Here is what I typically do.
ex:
steps:
- load nodes
- load edges
- calculate betweeness centrality
- change the size/color of nodes as per their centrality scores
- change the graph layout (such as forceatlas2)
- give the output graph
Below is the output I have got manually, but I want to produce the same by sending instructions from python to Gephi. Documentation doesn't tell anything beyond creating nodes, edges and graphs.
I have also found out about NetworKit. https://networkit.iti.kit.edu/data/uploads/docs/NetworKit-Doc/python/html/gephi.html
This is slightly better than gephistramer, but this requires python 3.4 or higher and most of the packages like pandas, numpy or sickit are in 2.7.
