Gephi Graphs in Latex

Question

Is it possible to create Gephi Graphs with latex? See Graph1 Graph2

Asking this question just out of curiosity. I'd like to add that Gephi is not simply connecting dots.

I would try paint and canvas from a distance of about 6 feet. Just kidding. Welcome to the site. I wish you the best. — Steven B. Segletes, May 13 '16 at 11:10
Computing a visually pleasing (or useful) graph layout is not a trivial task. It is also computationally intensive. LaTeX is absolutely not suitable for such tasks. Maybe if you already have the coordinates precomputed, then the drawing can be done. — Szabolcs, May 13 '16 at 11:20
Maybe I was wrong. There seem to be packages for small graphs. For large ones like in your pictures you should really use dedicated software. — Szabolcs, May 13 '16 at 11:24
I think it is possible to compile such a graph in LaTeX using the TikZ graphdrawing library. Though, I don't think it is sensible because it will probably take forever to typeset. Better use dedicated software and include the image. — Henri Menke, May 13 '16 at 11:59

create your export file from your Gephi graph using TikzExport, then

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\input{Gephiit.tikz}
\end{document}

what is TikzExport and how can I get it? doesn't seem to be a plugin for Gephi – Frederico Schardong Jul 20 '21 at 16:22
