Empirical Comparison of Visualization Tools for Larger-Scale Network Analysis

Figure 1

Gephi visualization of a network consisting of 202,424 nodes and 354,468 edges showing the distribution of 202,417 protein families across 7 habitats. A combination of OpenOrd and Yifan-Hu force-directed layout algorithm was used to calculate the node coordinates. Each habitat and its adjacent edges are colored uniquely. A step-by-step guide regarding the methods and the parametrization that were used is extensively described in the supplementary file.
