Export to Gephi

Before you startCopy Anchor Link

Complete a scan and open its output folder or download its Gephi exports. Keep nodes.csv and edges.csv from the same run together.

1. Create a project and import gephi/nodes.csv as a nodes table.
2. Import gephi/edges.csv as undirected edges.
3. Filter Kind to friend for friendship analysis; include group for shared membership.
4. Run ForceAtlas2, color by modularity_class, and size by betweenness or degree.

Start with friendship edges, then inspect shared-group links separately. Degree filters and k-core analysis can help explore dense groups. Communities and centrality describe the collected graph, which may cover only part of a person's network.

Preserve the meaning of each edgeCopy Anchor Link

Kind=friend describes an observed friendship; Kind=group describes shared membership. Mixing these creates a different graph. Steam IDs should stay exact text identifiers.

Reproduce your analysisCopy Anchor Link

Keep the original scan.json, analysis.json and collection settings beside your Gephi project. Record filters and layout choices when sharing a visualization. A truncated or partially observed network remains partial after importing it.

See exports reference for the exact columns and network metrics for their interpretation.
