Use the Analysis Result as the Weight of a Node

Once you have run the Analysis functionality, you can use the results as the node size in the Geographical and Social Visualisation. You configure this by using the Conditions. Follow the Guide Set Conditions to change the Colour of Nodes to learn more configurting Conditions.

Go to Data and go to the Object Type 'Person'. If you have not done so already, you first need to run an algorithm using the Analysis functionality. Follow the Guide Set a Scope and Run the Analysis to learn how to do this. In order to follow this guide, you will need to have a result of an algorithm active in your workspace or as a stored Analysis result.

To include the results of the algorithm in your visualisation, click the icon in the toolbar in the right top corner of your environment. This opens the 'Conditions' dialog with which you can specify conditional formatting rules for Names, Descriptions and Nodes in visualisations. In this Guide we will focus on the 'Nodes' tab.

In the drop-down menu shown in the tab 'Nodes' you find the elements on which a condition can be applied: 'Object' and any available Sub-Object. To apply a condition to an Object you select 'Object' in this drop-down menu. Since we want to apply this Condition on all nodes there is no need to specify a filter. We can also leave the input field for a label empty.

Enter the value '1' the input field next to the label 'Weight' and use the final drop-down menu in this row to select '• Workspace' if the results of the Analysis functionality are currently active in this Object Type. If you have stored the results of the Analysis functionality before, you can use this drop-down menu to select it.

Once a result of the Analysis functionality has been selected, the 'Highlight Colour' option is extended with a second colour. The first highlight colour can be used to set the upper bound of a colour range, the second highlight colour can be used to set the lower bound of a colour range. The colour range is calculated based on the distribution of results of the Analysis functionality.

Click 'Apply Settings'. Click the icon to run the Social Visualisation. You will now see that the size of the nodes is set by the results of the Analysis functionality and that a colour range shows highlights the higher and lower values.

If you want to create a unimodal network visualisation in nodegoat to focus on the results of the Analysis functionality, set a Scope in which connecting nodes are collapsed in to edges. To do this, click the icon on the right side of the visualisation buttons and set the following Scope:

Apply this Scope and click the icon to run the Social Visualisation again. You will now see the unimodal graph like this:
