Let's begin our exploration with the dynamic topology approach, using the following as our guidelines. We'll begin with an example instance before moving on to creating our own working examples using a few simple steps:
We'll start by exploring the concept of DNA using the graph generators familiarized in Chapter 4, Network Patterns. We'll begin with the dynamic graph example, which will be used to illustrate a very simple example of a dynamic network.
Next, we'll start preparing the data for use in a DNA project, which will allow us to leverage Gephi's built-in capabilities to create time intervals that facilitate dynamic networks.
Then we'll move on to the process of implementing, and ultimately working with, a dynamic network analysis example in Gephi.
Finally, we'll end the section with a discussion on what we learned from our example and how we might apply this process to other network datasets.
So without further delay, let's look at a very basic example of DNA as provided...
