Gephi is an open source software for graph and network
analysis. It uses a 3D render engine to display large
networks in real-time and to speed up the exploration.
A flexible and multi-task architecture brings new pos-
sibilities to work with complex data sets and produce
valuable visual results. We present several key features
of Gephi in the context of interactive exploration and
interpretation of networks. It provides easy and broad
access to network data and allows for spatializing, fil-
tering, navigating, manipulating and clustering. Finally,
by presenting dynamic features of Gephi, we highlight
key aspects of dynamic network visualization.
