Installation

• Installing visone tells you where you can download visone and how you install and run the program.

Basic Trails

These basic trails lead you step by step through a sequence of tasks illustrating common usage of visone.

• Introducing the visual network editor tells you how networks are created and modified by use of the mouse. You will also learn about the different types of information that are encoded in a visone network and how networks can be exported to data and image files.

• Visualizing and analyzing networks shows you how analysis and visualization goes hand in hand in visone. It introduces you to the most common usage scenario: importing data from one or several files, analyzing the network, visualizing the network together with the computed indicators, exporting data and images for further processing or publication.

• Advanced attribute management introduces you to the full power of visone's attribute manager and shows you how to select elements dependent on attribute values. The attribute manager allows you, for instance, to convert tie strength to distance or rankings and vice versa, dichotomize networks, rescale tie weights and much more.

• Network collections and dynamic networks. A network collection is a set or sequence of several networks that belong together, e.g., by building a longitudinal network. This trail guides you through several application examples for network collections, including dynamic visualization as well as statistical modeling of network dynamics with the RSiena software.

Advanced Trails

• Using visone's R console: network data can be sent from visone to the R statistical programming environment and back. This provides access to a huge set of methods for statistical analysis and modeling.

• Using RSiena from within visone

• The KNIME connection
