Two/multiple colors for connections in Network Graph

Question

Summary

Content

Is it possible to have two/more colors for the connection lines in the Network Graph?  I want to code one set of connections as red and one set of connections as green based on criteria.  Here is the exact problem: I am comparing the links of one entity with other entities in my network graph and I want to visually see where those links are positive and where they are negative.  I am currently trying to use a column that is a measure with two attributes (positive, negative) but it seems I can only make it one color.

Entity A   Entity B  Positive

Entity A   Entity C  Negative

Entity A   Entity D  Positive

Entity A   Entity E  Negative  ....  etc.

Let me know if more information is needed.

Kind regards,

Gina

Actually I found it.  I was going into manage color from the side bar option vs. from the properties menu (three dots).  I was able to do this.  Thank you so much for the help!

I do not have the "midpoint value" option.  I only have the color steps option.  Hmmmm

Hi,

Create a new Measure column with only two possible values (like have 0 for negative and 1 for positive). I have set the aggregation to "Maximum".Use this column to assign "Color" to link in the network graph.

Select Menu (... button on right top) -> Color -> Manage Assignments

At this point you will see the name of the column that is used to assign color to link.

Select Edit Options for 'column name' (appears when you hover over the color bar) -> Click Presets drop down next to the new color bar

At this point, you have two options

1. Select the "Diverging Red - Green"

and then set "Midpoint value" and "color Steps" to "Auto"

2. select Custom Gradient -> Two Color Gradient

Click on small squares (one at a time) under the color bar and select "Red" for one and "Green" for the other

leave the "Midpoint value" and "color Steps" to "Auto"

I understand this is lot of text. Let me know if its not clear - I will try to attach  a document with screenshots. Hope this helps.
