In this lab report, I pulled a dataset from Snap.stanford.edu<\/a> that has a list of verified Facebook pages with mutual likes from different categories such as government, new sites, athletes, public figures, tv shows, politicians, company, and artists. The category I chose was TV Shows. The question I had was to see how many TV Shows had mutual likes. Also, how will this visualization exude that with so many nodes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The method I used was searching through snap.stanford.edu<\/a> to pick a dataset. I chose the dataset mentioned above because I thought it was interesting and should be simple to understand in visualization format. Then, I imported the .csv file to Gephi. I had a few challenges with uploading the dataset. With some support, I relabeled the columns in the CSV file to “Source” and “Target”. I was advised to add a third column to put “Type” and put “undirected” in the fields but when I tried to import it into Gephi, I kept getting an error message. I decided to remove the column and imported it again and it worked. Also, I had to make sure I selected the right table options when importing it to Gephi. Originally, I was choosing Nodes but then I tried “Edges table” and it displayed the graph better than the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some screenshots showing the process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I figured that out, I started playing with the different configurations to change the layout and colors. I tried the Fruchterman Reingold<\/strong> and Atlas Force 2<\/strong> for the layouts. I also explored the degree and weight of the graph. Here are some of the screenshots below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
