How to get spatial proportional nodes in Gephi?

Question

Gephi has excellent functionality for sizing nodes based on this variable. The nodes are apparently sized, so the radius of the circle is linearly proportional to the value of the variable. How to get the area of ​​a circle in proportion to the value of a variable?

Using spline functionality to get precise proportionality seems rather complicated. I suggest that one solution might be to export the node table, calculate the square root of the variable, and re-import the data. I was wondering if I was missing a more direct solution.

Answer 1

Calculating the square root would be correct if we were displaying squares. But since we are showing circles, the correct Excel formula is likely to be:

=SQRT(*value here*/(2*PI()))
