Introduction

Gephi is the leading visualization and exploration software for all kinds of graphs and networks. Gephi is open-source and free

FSharpGephi streamer tackles the gap between the capabilities of F# in regards of strongly typed handling of large data sets and the visualization capabilites of Gephi by directly connecting them to each other. It enables users to convert any type of node/edge data to gephi interpretable objects and put them into gephi through F# interactive without the need of any UI interaction but the starting of the streaming server.

Prerequisites

A local installation of Java, Gephi and the Graph Streaming plugin is necessary. See here for more indepth installation instructions.
