Graphx Visualization

Question

I am looking for a way to visualize the graph constructed in Spark\'s Graphx. As far as I know Graphx doesn\'t have any visualization methods so I need to export the data from G

Answer 1

So you can do something like this

1. Save to gexf (graph interchange format) Code from Manning | Spark GraphX in Action

def toGexf[VD,ED](g:Graph[VD,ED]) : String = {
    "\n" +
    "\n" +
    "  \n" +
    "    \n" +
    g.vertices.map(v => "      \n").collect.mkString +
    "    \n" +
    "    \n" +
    g.edges.map(e => "      \n").collect.mkString +
    "    \n" +
    "  \n" +
    ""
}

2. Use the GEXF plugin in linkurious.js to load the file
