Gephi - The Open Graph Viz Platform

Gephi is an award-winning open-source platform for visualizing and manipulating large graphs. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Localization is available in French, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese and Czech.

Fast Powered by a built-in OpenGL engine, Gephi is able to push the envelope with very large networks. Visualize networks up to a million elements. All actions (e.g. layout, filter, drag) run in real-time.
Simple Easy to install and get started. An UI that is centered around the visualization. Like Photoshop™ for graphs.
Modular Extend Gephi with plug-ins. The architecture is built on top of Netbeans Platform and can be extended or reused easily through well-written APIs.

Download Gephi for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and consult the release notes. Example datasets can be found on our wiki.

Developer Introduction

Gephi is developed in Java and uses OpenGL for its visualization engine. Built on the top of Netbeans Platform, it follows a loosely-coupled, modular architecture philosophy. Gephi is split into modules, which depend on other modules through well-written APIs. Plugins can reuse existing APIs, create new services and even replace a default implementation with a new one.

Consult the Javadoc for an overview of the APIs.

Requirements

Java JDK 7 or 8 with preferably Oracle Java JDK.
Apache Maven version 3.2.2 or later

Checkout and Build the sources

Fork the repository and clone

  git clone git@github.com:username/gephi.git

Run the following command or open the project in Netbeans
```
  mvn clean install
```

Once built, one can test running Gephi

  cd modules/application
  mvn nbm:cluster-app nbm:run-platform

Create Plug-ins

Gephi is extensible and lets developers create plug-ins to add new features, or to modify existing features. For example, you can create a new layout algorithm, add a metric, create a filter or a tool, support a new file format or database, or modify the visualization.

We've created a Plugins Bootcamp to learn by examples.

Gephi Toolkit

The Gephi Toolkit project packages essential Gephi modules (Graph, Layout, Filters, IO…) in a standard Java library which any Java project can use for getting things done. It can be used on a server or command-line tool to do the same things Gephi does but automatically.
