I've come across some questions when using muxViz (the package developed by Manlio De Domenico with R and GNU Octave -- thanks for developing this!).

I was trying to create and visualise an interdependent network graph, but when I imported the example file the GUI froze. I'm not sure which part I've got wrong. I followed the tutorial(http://muxviz.net/tutorial.php) and created the multilayer edges. It is supposed to be a 2-layer interdependent network. Node 1-4 are investors (Layer 1) and Node 5-7 are brokers (Layer 2). 

1 1 3 1 2
1 1 6 1 1
2 1 4 1 0.5
2 1 5 2 1
3 1 7 2 2
4 1 3 1 1
5 2 6 2 7.6
5 2 7 2 6.7
7 2 6 2 2.2

The edge file is currently saved as .txt file. I saw the edges are in .edges format in some examples but I don't know how to create that file, so I don't know if that is the problem.

Thanks for helping with my questions!

PS. The graph is supposed to be like this (I drew manually)

    Why is this question tagged with R? – G5W Dec 28 '19 at 23:42
  • @G5W, though not clear in the question, I found that muxViz requires R-3.0.2 or newer (ref: http://muxviz.net/tutorial.php). (And though the [github page](https://github.com/manlius/muxViz/tree/master) says that it has migrated from octave to R, it still says that it also requires octave.) – r2evans Dec 29 '19 at 00:39
  • Hi @G5W yes this package is developed based on R and Octave, but it has got a well-developed GUI so the users don't have write codes by themselves. I tagged it with R was because I'm not sure how to create and check the .edges file. I checked online and it seems R can read this type of file so I would like to know how. – Mel Zhang Dec 30 '19 at 14:15
