Exporting Graph Data to Other Programs

NodeXL can export graph data from the workbook to a number of file formats that are used by other graph programs, so that you can, for example, create a graph in NodeXL, export it as a GraphML file, and then import and view the graph in Gephi. The available export formats are shown in the table below.

File Format Description
UCINET Full Matrix DL NodeXL will export graph data to a UCINET full matrix DL file that can be imported into the UCINET program. The file includes edge weights but does not include any other columns on the Vertices and Edges worksheets.
GraphML

GraphML is an industry-standard graph file format supported by a number of graph programs.

GraphML supports arbitrary vertex and edge attributes. When exporting to a GraphML file, NodeXL includes all the columns on the Vertices and Edges worksheets in the file.

Pajek

NodeXL will export graph data to a Pajek file that can be imported into the Pajek program. When exporting to a Pajek file, NodeXL includes vertex locations and edge weights. It does not include any other columns on the Vertices and Edges worksheets.

To export graph data to another program:
  1. In the Ribbon, select NodeXL, Data, Export.
  2. Select from the first group of items on the Export menu.
