Avoid overlapping labels in Gephi

Question

I downloaded Gephi and I am using it currently on Windows. I made a graph of my Facebook network, which has about 469 nodes, and the problem that I encountered is that I do not see the labels clearly. They overlap too much. Is there any way to prevent this?

Answer 1

Mostly Gephi is built to make legible maps, but when the network has more than 1000 notes, it becomes difficult to read, because these labels overlap with each other. If you want to avoid this problem, you should use the "Label Adjust" functionality, which is one of the algorithms. This will help you avoid overlapping tags automatically.

Answer 2

you can use the option "Force Atlas - adjust the size" in the layout

Answer 3

I also like to set the label size to scale on the node side. You can set this parameter by pressing the "A" button with a gray color, which is located just below the chart window, and then select the "node" parameter. In addition to customizing the shortcut, which is determined by your best bet, you can also use the Noverlap plugin, which also helps distribute them.
