Network Analysis Tool: Change of Direction of arrows/connectors

Agarwal_Yash91

Hi All,

 

I am trying to create a Alteryx workflow to show a network for interconnected Nodes and edges using network analysis tool.

Output i am getting looks pretty good but i am struggling on couple of points.

1. Can i change the direction of directed arrows from Node to Edge rather than Edge to Node(i guess default setting in Alteryx)  

2.If we can get rid of distribution details from output file?

Attached image showing current and expected output(blue directed arrows are generated by Alteryx and red one's what we are trying to achieve)Sample.jpg

 

Please let me know any possible suggestions.

Hi @Agarwal_Yash91 

 

Can you provide the workflow that you used to create this and some sample data?

@danilang looks like i am able to resolve direction of arrows by inter changing column header for to and From.

 

could you please suggest possible ways to remove distribution stats from file(creating a HTML file using Render tool and Layout tool). attached image of part which needs to removed from final output

we need only Interactive force diagram in HTML file.

Hi @Agarwal_Yash91 

 

There aren't any options for excluding the distribution stats from the html.  I looked into the R code in the macro and it's very sparse.  It looks like it pieces together a bunch of html snippets to make the final report.  You're best bet may be some post processing on the html.  The class you want to remove/hide is "col-xs-12 col-md-5"

Hi @danilang ,

 

Thanks for suggestion. I will try to look into given possible solution.

i ran into another issue today, its regarding grouping the nodes. I tried using group node options but i am getting an error while trying to group the nodes using a variable(tried with int32,int64 and string data types) but getting below mentioned error.

 

Error: Network Analysis (13): Tool #4: Error in graph.data.frame(d = x, directed = directed, vertices = vertices) :

 

Workflow works fine when i disable group and remove variable we are trying to use for grouping/coloring nodes.

 

while grouping by statistics(infomap.community) works fine.

Can you please help me this ?
