Map #29: label placing

Three little but important issues:

1. Clusters should have the same colors as in Map_30a (http://labs.densitydesign.org/emaps/site/#/map/absolute-and-relative-visibility-of-issues-in-unfccc-negotiations-1995-2013)
2. Clusters should be labeled with the labels of Map_30a
3. The labels of the node overlap making the map impossible to read (even when zooming). to solve the problem
   • Use the 'label adjust' algorithm in Gephi
   • Make the size of the label proportional to the size of the nodes If nothing works, better roll back to to the original static image maybe with a zooming system (see http://medialab.sciences-po.fr/publications/misunderstandings/figure-1). Ask me the illustrator version if you need it.

@tommv 1) we can change it but you asked to sue just two colors in the last revision: one for the adaptation-related nodes, and one for the others.

2) We can pass that in the dataset, but you'll see it only when you select a node.

3) Label placement is slighlty different in sigma then in Gephi, so the "label adjust" wont' work (already tried). Proportionals labels: not sure is possible in sigma. We must try that. Using static version: doable but you'll lose the ability to explore the map.

I think I have not been clear. Call me on skype when you want and I'll explain better. I start thinking that switching to the the static image is the best solution. Call me and we'll discuss this (this map is particularly important because we will present it in Brussels)

Exported as static, solved.
