Size From input data scale

[paulgirard]

When opening a GEXF from elsewhere size range can be unbalanced regarding node positions which makes the very first Image looks like this:

If this size was actually set from a node property, opening node size panel makes everything back in right shape. But let's imagine this "input data" size is the only data we have to render the node size. In that case, one way to deal with this is to re-render the layout is a greater scale.

In this issue I reflect on other possible ways to handle this

• we could create a node attribute to store the "original node size (input data)" and to reuse this in sizing tools/node property panel
• add a node size display scale controller in the main graph view to adjust node size (not a big fan of this one)

After investigation with the same graph file, it looks like the nodes are rendered exactly with the same size as they are in Gephi.

So actually this is the same behaviour as in Gephi, see the same graph in Gephi:
