NodeXL <> Graphistry Converter#

Now you can explore the results of your NodeXL data workflows with Graphistry GPU visuals!

  • Takes a url to a NodeXL .xls file (you can upload to your Colab session as well) and creates a live Graphistry viz

  • Creates a function graphistry.nodexl('http://my_url/file.xls').plot(), see calls to it at the bottom

  • You can also specify the data source for more bindings, verbose to watch progress, and which Pandas-ready Excel engine: graphistry.nodexl('http://my_url/file.xls', 'twitter', engine='xlrg', verbose=True)

  • Can upload an XLS file here too, see file upload menu on left (file will be "./my_file.xls")

  • Click graphistry logo to start a session or right-click to open in a new window and save its url

  • Rerun cells top-to-bottom by hitting shift-enter
