Clustering?

[vorburger]

Does Gephi Lite support automagical Hierarchy Clustering?

I have a (large) GEXF, which I have generated myself in my Enola.dev tool, where I have added both pid (for single parents) and <parents><parent for=”...” /> (when there are multiple parents) ... and was hoping that instead of this hard-to-read GraphViz equivalent, Gephi Lite would "nicely group" the Nodes, based on that new "parentage" information.

However when I open my graph.gexf on https://gephi.org/gephi-lite/, it's still just one big "jumble", so far - it seems the same as before I added pid and <parents><parent for=”...” />. So I was wondering if it's even interpreting it at all?

Does Gephi Lite not (yet?) support clustering, and simply ignores the parents?

Or am I doing something wrong - or misunderstand how this works?

I can share the GEXF publicly tomorrow, if it's of any interest.

It's here: https://docs.enola.dev/models/graph.gexf

Sorry but hierarchy from GEXF is not supported and will probably never be. Tree are very special graphs which require specific layout algorithms.

With the current Gephi Lite you could :

• use the circle pack layout to visualize your hierarchy if you add parent as node attributes
• use Force Atlas 2 to spacialise your graph (here is my two minutes result:
  graph.gexf.zip )

To learn how to do that see this very nice Tutorial from Veronica https://medium.com/@vespinozag/learn-how-to-make-a-network-in-gephi-lite-and-add-images-to-the-nodes-i-give-you-the-gexf-file-76635f3aab53
