This Yifan Hu Proportional layout algorithm is very much similar to the Yifan Hu layout algorithm, except that it uses a proportional displacement strategy for node placement in the graphical space. The accuracy and speed are almost comparable to that of Yifan Hu's.
We will begin with the Les Misérables network and explain how to use the Yifan Hu Proportional algorithm on it. The steps remain the same for any other network too. So let's get started:
Load the Les Misérables graph in Gephi.
In the Layout panel, click on the drop-down menu that says ---Choose a layout.
From the drop-down menu, select Yifan Hu Proportional.
Hit Run.
The following screenshot shows how the Les Misérables graph will look after the Yifan Hu Proportional algorithm has been executed:
