There is a cytoscape app, cyanimator, that enables creation of gifs and the ilk from snapshots a user selects. I attempted to use it to generate a gif of the 5 phases of our outbreak, but it eventually hangs while trying to interpolate the images. I suspect that the graph is too large for the tool.
I'll try again when I build out the map subgraph. That may be a small enough subset for it to work as expected.
Another idea: I could use sapelo2 to generate the graph. This could give me an opportunity to both test a remote connection and to leverage more memory.
If neither of these work, I can always just manually generate a gif in the interim.
Cyanimator was not performant enough for our larger graphs. It worked well with 2 smaller networks, but not the larger time slices. For now, manually generating/filtering.
