Network Graph Analysis and Visualization with Gephi

---

Network visualization has become an increasingly important approach for how we view data in our increasingly connected world. Social networks, information networks, transportation networks, and a host of other datasets can be brought to life through network maps. However, this approach was traditionally left to those with an understanding of the complex mathematical underpinnings of graph theory, or at least to those who were exceptional coders who could create their own graph structures. In recent years, the explosion of social media datasets has propelled network graphs into the visualization mainstream, resulting in a number of proprietary and open source tools that address the need to create and view networks. One of the leading tools of this genre is Gephi. The goal of Gephi is to make network visualization accessible to all by providing a set of tools that handle the complex mathematics supporting the graphs. Therefore, users of Gephi are able to focus on the meaning of the underlying data, and may quickly test alternative visual approaches that best display the network connections the user wishes to share with his/her audience. Gephi is a great tool for those wanting to display insights through their graphs quickly, while simultaneously providing the ability to further explore the world of graph theory.
