SocNetV is a graphical application designed to be an easy tool for Social Networks Analysis and Visualisation. With it, you can load and visualise networks of various formats (GraphViz,Adjacency, Pajek, etc), and/or visually create and modify a network using your mouse.
The program can also compute network statistics and properties, such as distances, centralities, diameter etc, for you, and apply some layout algorithms for more meaningful visualisation of your networks. Furthermore, it can create simple random networks (lattice, same degree, etc).
The application is being developed in C++ with the Qt GUI development toolkit, for Linux, but you can compile and run it on OS X and Windows as well, as long as you have Qt installed.
SocNetV is Free Software, licensed under the GNU General Public License 3 (GPL3). Be aware, there is no warranty of efficiency, correctness or usability.
To see SocNetV in action, you need a modern Linux distro with the Qt4 library installed. Most Linux distributions offer Qt4 either preinstalled or via the package manager (i.e. Synaptic in Ubuntu).
Download the latest release of SocNetV from the menu "Downloads".
- It is very easy to compile from the source code (there are no dependencies). Just, download the compressed archive with the source code. Then untar it, cd to the new directory, and type:
qmake-qt4
(or wherever are your Qt4 libs). Afterwards, compile and run by:
make
cd bin
./socnetv
- Alternatively, try some of the binary packages (i.e. Klik, etc).
