Hello there!

I was wondering if this plugin is working already. Would love to try it. Excellent work!

Really interesting stuff!
I have been looking to add a third dimension and I would like to ask your advice and experience to find out if this is possible.
I have created a map with my email contacts. You can clearly see who I have been emailing with most and what networks exist.

What I would like to add are the topics we have been emailing about.
This can be derived from the words in the subject (leaving out some common words like a, the, an, etc).

The way I would like to represent this, would be something like a word cloud that becomes visible once I select a node or an edge.

Once this is possible, it can also be turned: first create a map of the topics and group them and by selecting a node or an edge, see who has been emailing who about it.

Is this (or something similar) already possible?
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

Hello,
lovable plugin… I can’t wait to test it, too.

There is any news, about it?

Super. Loving the new beta version and can’t wait for the DSNI plugin to be available – are you close?? PS – will the Facebook importer allow you to import a network from any other pages/groups you belong to?

Hi Dave, the release of this plugin will be possible once the 0.7beta version is released, which is coming in cuple of days (stay tuned!).

Then, probably some more time to package this as a plugin and fix latest major issues. It’s important for us to provide stable plugins, so they require testing. If you wanna support us, please consider donate or join the Gephi Consortium.

Hi,

Do you have any more firm dates on when this plugin will be released? I think it will be awesome! I’m not a programmer so don’t feel comfortable testing it using the instructions above, so I’d really love to know when it becomes available. Unless there’s something available in a developer update center?

Thanks, D.

Huh, why did I answer on Seadragon…my mistake.

This plug-in is currently on development and will be released soon, however an unstable version is available by compiling this branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~duyi001/gephi/DSNI

If you can’t wait, follow these instructions to check out the source code, by using “lp:~duyi001/gephi/DSNI” instead of “lp:gephi”: http://wiki.gephi.org/index.php/Checkout_Code
And these ones to compile it: http://wiki.gephi.org/index.php/Configuring_NetBeans

Sebastien, Seadragon seems to be the export side, whereas the post is talking about the import side. Am I missing something? I want to try importing my Twitter graph into Gephi and play with it there.

Hi,

Go to the plugin page: http://gephi.org/plugins/seadragon/

Then click on Download, extract the ZIP file.
Launch Gephi, go to the menu item Tools > Plugins. In Download, click on Add Plugins. and select the 3 NBM files. Start the installing process, and that’s it

Hey guys, this looks really promising!

Curious, are there any instructions on getting this plugin up and running before the 0.8 release? I did a quick scan of launchpad, but wasn’t able to find any instructions to do with this plugin. Would love to play with an alpha build.
