An example of a visualization created by Gephi.

Gephi is an open source software package for network analysis and visualization that was written in the Java programming language . It uses the NetBeans platform .

history

Initially, Gephi was developed by students at the University of Technology of Compiègne (UTC) in France. Gephi participated in the Google Summer of Code in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.

The latest version, 0.9.0, was released in December 2015. Updates appeared in February 2016 (0.9.1) and September 2017 (0.9.2). Previous versions are 0.6.0 (2008), 0.7.0 (2010), 0.8.0 (2011), 0.8.1 (2012) and 0.8.2 (2013).

The Gephi Consortium, founded in 2010, is a not-for-profit organization under French law that supports the further development of the software. Her members include SciencesPo , Linkfluence , WebAtlas and Quid. Gephi is supported by a large community of users. There is a Facebook group, a forum and numerous guides on websites and blogs.

Features and special features

Gephi uses OpenGL for visualization and thus the graphics card for graphic display. This allows Gephi networks with over 20,000 nodes to process without using the main processor .

Implemented layout algorithms

Gephi provides various algorithms to arrange the nodes of a network.

Fruchterman Reingold
Force Atlas2
Yifan Hu algorithms

Supported file formats

Applications

Gephi is used in science and journalism to visualize network data.

For example, social unrest was traced on Twitter. Renowned newspapers such as the New York Times use Gephi to prepare data and to do everything to do with network analysis. Gephi is widespread in the science of the digital humanities , to which many of the software developers themselves belong.
