Timeline problem with spells

Asked by Oliver Ehmer

Dear all,

I am using the statistical package R to create GEXF Files. The data I analyze consists of forum users who do no participate all the time in the forum. So I used spells in the GEFX file.
The problem that occurs is the following: when I move the green slider in the time line window, the dates displayed in the silederbar itself change when I move the slider to the extreme right. Then only a part of the entire time is being displayed and I cannot display all my data anymore.

I'd appreciate any help!

This is a minimal XML GEXF File that produces the error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gexf xmlns="http://www.gexf.net/1.2draft" version="1.2" xmlns:viz="http://www.gexf.net/1.2draft/viz" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.gexf.net/1.2draft http://www.gexf.net/1.2draft/gexf.xsd">

Hi, a new Timeline is about to be released and is totally different from the current one, so I advise you to wait for the release. I had a similar issue with one dataset, and the new Timeline fix it.

Salut Sébastien,
thanks a lot for your quick answer. Do you know when the new version is about to be published? Or is there already a pre-reslease?

It's a matter of days. You could also build Gephi from the trunk as explained here if you are used to git:
https://github.com/gephi/gephi/

Fork the repository and clone:
git clone <email address hidden>:username/gephi.git

Run ant or open the project in Netbeans:
ant
