Python is a versatile scripting language that you can use to automate various tasks, including Gephi. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to use Python to automate the process of visualizing data in Gephi.
First, you’ll need to install the Python bindings for Gephi. You can find them here. Once you have the bindings installed, you can start writing your Python scripts.
In order to automate Gephi, you’ll need to use the gephi-toolkit module. This module provides a number of functions that you can use to automate Gephi.
First, you’ll need to create a project in Gephi. You can do this by going to the File menu and selecting New Project.
Once you have a project open, you can start adding data to it. To do this, you’ll need to use the add_node() and add_edge() functions in the gephi-toolkit module.
For example, let’s say you have a list of nodes and edges in a CSV file. You can use the following code to add these nodes and edges to your Gephi project:
import csv
from gephi_toolkit import *
project = Project.create(“My Project”)
with open(“nodes.csv”, “r”) as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
for row in reader:
node = Node(row[0], label=row[1])
project.add_node(node)
with open(“edges.csv”, “r”) as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
for row in reader:
edge = Edge(row[0], row[1], label=row[2])
project.add_edge(edge)
Once you have your data added to the project, you can start visualizing it. To do this, you’ll need to use the run_layout() function in the gephi-toolkit module.
This function takes a layout name and a list of nodes as arguments. For example, to use the Force Atlas 2 layout, you would use the following code:
from gephi_toolkit import *
project = Project.open(“My Project”)
nodes = project.get_nodes()
run_layout(“ForceAtlas2”, nodes)
This will cause Gephi to use the Force Atlas 2 layout to visualize your data.
You can also use the run_layout() function to run multiple layouts at once. To do this, you’ll need to pass it a list of layout names and a list of nodes. For example, to run the Force Atlas 2 and the Fruchterman Reingold

Is Gephi a programming language?
Gephi is not a programming language.
Is Gephi interactive?
Gephi is a tool for visualizing and analyzing large networks. It is interactive, meaning that you can use it to explore your data and find patterns.
How many nodes can Gephi handle?
There is no theoretical limit on the number of nodes that Gephi can handle, but the practical limit will depend on the resources (memory, processing power, etc.) of your computer.
