SocNetV is a Linux GUI program written in Qt3.

Social Networks Visualiser project main purpose is to bring to our Linux box comprehensive Social Networks Analysis and Visualisation.

It can read and write various network file formats and enables the user to visually modify an existing network or draw a new network using the mouse. Network and actor properties, such as distances, centralities, diameter etc, can be easily computed. Also, it can create random networks (lattice, same degree, etc).

SocNetV is NOT antagonistic to any commercial/scientific SNA programs, like PAJEK, visone, UCINET, AISee, KrackPlot, which are developed by groups of professionals and scientists. It is rather a personal trip to learn SNA and C++ programming while keeping the code open for others to learn from my mistakes. If you find it useful I'll be glad. But be aware that there is no warranty of efficiency, correctness or usability.

Oh, and this site is under never-ending construction as well.

Installation:

To see SocNetV in action, you need a modern Linux distro with Qt 3.x. Download the latest release from the link "Download" on the left. Untar the archive, cd to the new directory, and use:

/usr/lib/qt3/bin/qmake (or wherever are your Qt libs)
make
./socnetv

What's New in This Release:
NEW: Actor Numbers are displayed inside actors' shapes by default.
NEW: Actors can be added just by double-clicking on the canvas
UPDATE: Help files
UPDATE: Some Options menu items were reformed.
FIX: "View Network File" bug.
FIX: "Diameter error in weighted networks" bug.
FIX: "Segmentation fault in degreeCentrality after remove/add new actor" bug.
