New Post: Vertex Images

Hello,

If I understand well, the image file of a node does not show up in the graph, correct? though a square shows up but without a picture.

Not correct. Images show up in the graph. To add an image you have to fill column F (Image File) of the Vertices worksheet with an image URL that either resides on the web or locally. Then click "Graph Options" on the Document Actions pane (right pane). Select the second tab (Vertices) and select "Image" for the "Shape" property. This should set all vertices to be represented by their image.

Anyhow, I have not seen any graph visualization in the NodeXL Gallery with profile pictures. I am applying NodeXL to art historical data and pictures of the artists would >enhance the value of the graphs.

All networks uploaded by NodeXLExcelAutomator or marc_smith, display an image as vertex (although it is small) http://nodexlgraphgallery.org/Pages/Graph.aspx?graphID=60340
