my question is awkwardly simple:
how do i plot a bipartite graph in Gephi with a layout like the one you see in the attached image?
I really am not able to find an appropriate layout in Gephi's options
thanks
Gephi version 0.9.1 has an Event Graph Layout plugin that will do this: Tools -> Plugins -> Available Plugins
. Under Data Laboratory, you'll need to add an integer-level variable to your Nodes data table ("Mode" for example), set all of your B nodes to 1, and all of your R nodes to 2. Select that variable in the Order setting of the layout options. You'll likely have to bump Scale of Order up to get decent separation between your modes.
