In the previous recipe, you learned how to create a dynamic graph, otherwise known as a temporal graph, in Gephi. In this recipe, you will learn about some interesting properties of dynamic graphs. So, let's get started.
To get started with this recipe, first create a dynamic graph in Gephi as explained in the previous recipe, Building dynamic/temporal graphs in Gephi. Also, once the graph is created, enable the timeline that is located at the bottom of the Gephi application window.
To explore dynamic graphs in Gephi, follow these steps:
