Different shapes for Nodes in network Analysis Tool

Question

Hi,

we are trying to create a network using network analysis tool. We are able to get required output i.e. Connection between different node via directed edges.

Now we are trying to explore if we can have different shapes for starting nodes and different shape for directed/connected nodes.

Example: Triangle for starting Node( which can be identified uniquely in complex network) and a circle/dot for connected nodes.

we have connected a layout tool to I output from network analysis tool and rendering a table out in HTML format

Thanks,

Yash

Hi @Agarwal_Yash91 - Here is a sample of how you can add customer pictures: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Fun-with-Network-Analysis-Tool-How-to-Add-Custom-Pictures-to-All/ta-p/68185

Not to change the shape though.

@rkapoor Link provided above does not talk about different shapes for nodes. It explain how size of node(with same shape) can vary based on various centrality measures

@Agarwal_Yash91 this is a really useful link from one of our Partners, where you can configure the Network Analysis tool to represent different shapes of the nodes for various relationships:
