Display Node Image

Many of my nodes have an image attribute (imported from graphviz) with a URL to an image that represents the node. I would be thrilled if a partition option or general option were available to render those images in the main window. I admit this is a long shot -- I can see a lot of caveats such as bandwidth etc. -- but I figure it would be good to put this out there! Since a lot of these URLs are relative, it would be nice to be able to set a base URL.

Hi, the current rendering engine of Gephi in Overview is not able to display images instead of nodes, but it may be a plugin for the Preview panel. We provide guidance if you want to code it.

hi, Has this been addressed yet? If not, I may be interested in preforming the coding.

I have a basic system working (for Processing and SVN, working on PDF now). I had a few questions:

  1. What type should I use to store a property that represents an attribute of a node. For now, I am using a string to store the node attribute that the Renderer should use to identify the image.
  2. How do I find the directory of the file currently being worked on?
  3. How do i find the directory/file being saved when saving to a SVGTarget?

I have submitted a plugin on the Gephi website with this functionality.

I updated ylockerman's code to make it compatible with Gephi 0.8.2. See my repository https://github.com/chrisxue815/gephi-plugin-image-preview Actually it was quite easy. I just replaced 2 package dependencies.

BTW, is it possible to display images in the Graph window instead of Preview? As in the Graph window we can select a single node and see its neighbors, but in Preview we can't.

I'm guessing @chrisxue815 post hasn't been addressed?

@chrisxue815 , Have you finished the function of display images of node in overview perspective? I just new guy for JOGL, and someone said it is possible to display images in OpenGL window, try it again?

In the current Gephi version 0.9.2. I've installed the plugin "Image Preview" via Tools -> Plugins and it works fine for me, i.e. I can see the images in the Preview.

You need a column image in the nodes data. Then go to the Preview space and click Render Nodes As Images and specify an Image Path as root for the images. Note that you might have to click on Restore renderers order under Preview Settings -> Manage renderers.

En la versión actual de Gephi 0.9.2. He instalado el complemento "Vista previa de imagen" a través de Tools-> Pluginsy me funciona bien, es decir, puedo ver las imágenes en la Vista previa.

Necesita una columna imageen los datos de los nodos. Luego vaya al Previewespacio y haga clic Render Nodes As Imagesy especifique Image Pathcomo raíz para las imágenes. Tenga en cuenta que es posible que deba hacer clic en Restore renderers orderdebajo de Preview Settings-> Manage renderers.

Conseguido. Muchas Gracias. :)
