Okay, if one's edges have attributes (rating values for the edge for example), and one's parallel edge merge strategy is to NOT merge, and one chooses to display the resulting graph with straight lines, Gephi graphs the parallel edges one on top of each other. This means 1/2 of the visual data from the edge attributes is hidden. If one chooses to display the graph with curved edges, then the parallel edges are not graphed on top of each other and all the visual information is visible. QUESTION: Is there an understanding of how Gephi decided which parallel edge to graph on top? and is there a way to influence the graphing order? Currently my workaround is to play with the weight value (making some edges thicker) but this is not an elegant solution. I've found that Gephi graphs with curved lines tell a better story, but graphs with straight lines are less visually messy at times. Thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
