We had a fun question in the solutions center at Inspire this year. A customer showed us the sample for network analysis and asked us if it is possible to create one that has a picture for each icon.
We've provided a sample workflow (attached) that you can use as a reference to add as many pictures as needed.
Please note that the field names are case sensitive.
Happy Visualizing!
Very cool to add pictures to the network chart. I'm trying to color code to differentiate the "to" and "from" data. I'd also love to be able to have wider or narrower connector lines, similar to the first picture in the post. Can't figure out how to do it! Thanks!
Just found out the width of the lines can be changed by adding a "weight" column in the Nodes input (in addition to "to" and "from"). Now, trying to figure out how to change colors!
Sorry, prior comment should refer to the "edges" input. Still learning! :)
OK, I apologize for responding to my own post! Found the instructions for the first network example (shown at top). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsDZIc02SkQ
Thanks!
Is there a more correct place to download and install the R Package. I am getting an error saying the AlteryxRPluginEngine.dll Could not be loaded . Hence my Network Diagram is not working
Hi,
This looks really good, I was exploring the attached workflow and trying to understand how column shape is working?
so if we want to have some other shape say triangle for couple of individuals, just changing shape column value from "circularImage" to "triangularImage" will work?
What changes are made to existing network analysis tool are made to add these images and shape?
@Agarwal_Yash91 from what I can tell by inspecting the viz's source code, the options for the shape
field are...
"ellipse","circle","database","box","text","image","circularImage","diamond","dot","star","triangle","triangleDown","square","icon"
With only "image" and "circularImage" working for images.
@NeilR thanks for the input. it really helped.
one last part I am trying to achieve , can we get rid of stats present in right side of the HTML output? only thing we want is interactive chart showing relationships.
@Agarwal_Yash91 one thing you could do is alter the underlying HTML code of the output. I inspected the HTML and noted that the IDs for the DIVs we need to hide are graphbox and centrality. See here for workflow attachment.
