Using multiple filters in Gephi is not always easy or intuitive, so we will spend some extra time in this section to walk through several examples in order to expose both the complex filtering approach and the potential for further use of complex filters in your own graphs.
Let's start with some relatively simple examples, complex only in having more than a single filter. In this case, we will create one filter and then use a second condition as a subfilter to the first. Here are the steps:
