Python生成gexf文件并导入gephi做网络图分析

Gephi是一款优秀的复杂网络分析软件，支持导入多种格式的文件。gexf格式是Gephi 推荐的格式，基于 XML。本文是一个用python写的简单Demo，示例如何生成一个典型的gexf格式文件。代码基于pygexf包（下载地址：https://github.com/paulgirard/pygexf）。 代码很简单不做解释。

Python 代码：

 import sys,pprint
 from gexf import Gexf

 # test helloworld.gexf
 gexf = Gexf("Gephi.org","A Web network")
 graph=gexf.addGraph("directed","static","A Web network")

 atr1 = graph.addNodeAttribute('url',type='string')
 atr2 = graph.addNodeAttribute('indegree',type='float')
 atr3 = graph.addNodeAttribute('frog',type='boolean',defaultValue='true')

 tmp = graph.addNode("","Gephi")
 tmp.addAttribute(atr1,"http://gephi.org")
 tmp.addAttribute(atr2,'')

 tmp = graph.addNode("","Webatlas")
 tmp.addAttribute(atr1,"http://webatlas.fr")
 tmp.addAttribute(atr2,'')

 tmp = graph.addNode("","RTGI")
 tmp.addAttribute(atr1,"http://rtgi.fr")
 tmp.addAttribute(atr2,'')

 tmp = graph.addNode("","BarabasiLab")
 tmp.addAttribute(atr1,"http://barabasilab.com")
 tmp.addAttribute(atr2,'')
 tmp.addAttribute(atr3,'false')

 graph.addEdge("","","",weight='')
 graph.addEdge("","","",weight='')
 graph.addEdge("","","",weight='')
 graph.addEdge("","","",weight='')
 graph.addEdge("","","",weight='')

 output_file=open(".\data.gexf","w")
 gexf.write(output_file)

生成的最终文件data.gexf：

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
