I am having a hard time dragging multiple nodes on the screen with Gephi. The multi-select button allows me to select multiple nodes but not move them on the screen. Could this be a system issue (running Ubuntu on Mac)? I have searched the web but to no avail. Is anyone else having this issue?
It will guide you to the basic and advanced layout settings in Gephi. You will learn how to use various layouts in Gephi according to the feature you want to emphasis in the topology and the size of the network, how to avoid node overlapping and how to do some geometric transformations.
These should be combined, which Gephi allows you to do. (10) Select the nodes you want to merge, right click on your selections, and click Merge nodes… Make sure Delete merged nodesis selected, and then make whatever selections is most appropriate, such as summing times_cited.
Source refers to a node that you've identified and labeled in your nodes. csv file. Target also refers to a node you've listed in your nodes. csv file. Type refers to how the two nodes are connected.
To drag multiple nodes in Gephi, use the cylinder tool, which is part of the Dragging tool (Fist icon).
While the Dragging tool is selected, in the top left of the Graph window, next to the word "Dragging," click the blue word (Configure) as shown below
Set the diameter to something greater than one, and you'll see a grey disc that allows you to drag all nodes that are within the disc.
To "close" the tool, i.e. restore it to 1-pixel Dragging, Configure the diameter back to 1.
You want to use the cylinder tool - http://forum.gephi.org/viewtopic.php?t=20. Make sure to set the diameter to something bigger than one, and you'll see a circle that allows you to select multiple nodes within its boundaries.
