Along with the capabilities available for studying the statistical properties of static graphs, Gephi also offers capabilities for studying the statistical properties of dynamic graphs. In this recipe, we will learn about some of these properties of dynamic graphs and how Gephi helps you study them.
To work on this recipe, we will first need to generate a dynamic graph to work on. To do that, follow these steps:
Load Gephi into a blank project mode.
Click on the File option in the menu bar located on top of the Gephi application window. From the drop-down list, select Generate and then Dynamic Graph Example. This generates a new dynamic graph in Gephi.
To study the statistical properties of the dynamic graph that we just generated, follow these steps:
Click on the Settings tab in the Statistics panel and select all the options under the Dynamic list.
Click on OK. This populates the Dynamic tab of the Statistics panel with the following...
