Gephi Toolkit - All Gephi in one library

The Gephi Toolkit project packages essential Gephi modules (Graph, Layout, Filters, IO…) in a standard Java library. It can be used on a server or command-line tool to do the same things Gephi does, but programmatically.

It follows the same versioning as Gephi. A new version of the toolkit is released when a new version of Gephi is released.

Use the toolkit

Best way to start is through examples on Toolkit Demos. It shows examples how to use the toolkit. If you need support, the community can help you on Discussions.

From a Maven project

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.gephi</groupId>
    <artifactId>gephi-toolkit</artifactId>
    <version>0.10.1</version>
</dependency>

From a Gradle project

compile 'org.gephi:gephi-toolkit:0.10.1'

From a Scala SBT Project

resolvers ++= Seq(
  "gephi-thirdparty" at "https://raw.github.com/gephi/gephi/mvn-thirdparty-repo/"
)

libraryDependencies += "org.gephi" % "gephi-toolkit" % "0.10.1" classifier "all"

Latest releases

Stable

Latest stable release on gephi.org.

Development Build

gephi-toolkit-0.10.2-SNAPSHOT-all.jar

Development Build (Maven)

If you use Maven you can directly depend on the latest development version of the toolkit (i.e the -SNAPSHOT version).

Add the Gephi repository

<project>
...
   <repositories>
      <repository>
         <id>oss-sonatype</id>
         <name>oss-sonatype</name>
         <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
         <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
         </snapshots>
      </repository>
   </repositories>
...
</project>

Add the dependency

<project>
...
   <dependencies>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.gephi</groupId>
         <artifactId>gephi-toolkit</artifactId>
         <version>0.10.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
      </dependency>
      ...
   </dependencies>
...
</project>

Build

The Gephi Toolkit is entirely based on Gephi's source code and packages the core modules in a single JAR.

It sources its Gephi dependencies from Maven Central.

Requirements

Java JDK 11.
Apache Maven version 3.6.3 or later

Checkout and Build the sources

Fork the repository and clone

git clone git@github.com:username/gephi-toolkit.git

Run the following command or open the project in an IDE like NetBeans or IntelliJ IDEA
```
mvn clean install
```

Can the Toolkit use plugins?

Yes that is possible if the plug-in doesn’t depend on something not included in the Toolkit, for instance the UI. If that happens, it is likely that the plug-in has been divided in several modules, and in that case one need only the core and can exclude the UI. Consult this HowTo page to know how to extract the plugin JARs from the NBM file. Once you have the JARs, include them in your project’s classpath, in addition of the Gephi Toolkit.

Can it depends on a development version of Gephi?

Yes, either a snapshot or a locally built version.

To build it based on your own locally-built Gephi do the following:

Build Gephi from its own repository normally (mvn clean install)
This should have installed or overwritten all modules artefacts within your local Maven directory, usually $USERHOME/.m2
Rebuild the toolkit, making sure to depend on the Gephi's version you just built
