Re: Replicatable arrowhead weirdness


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Kate, I still can¡¯t replicate the issue. But given your previous post, which showed the windows start menu with all the programs duplicated,

?

Graphical user interface, text, application

Description automatically generated with medium confidence

I would suggest cleaning that up: uninstalling all versions of ucinet and netdraw and installing from the web. Then when you run netdraw, have a look at the title bar to see which version is actually running. For example, when I run mine, I see version 2.181.

?

?

One reason I suggest this is that neither of your vna files contains arrowhead information, which would look like this:

?

*Tie properties

FROM TO color size style headcolor headsize active arrowhead

"Altiero_T" "Guidetti_R" 0 1 0 0 9 -1 0

"Altiero_T" "Rebecchi_L" 0 1 0 0 9 -1 0

¡­

?

This indicates that neither file was created using the recent version of netdraw. (Note that ucinet¡¯s vna creator still doesn¡¯t have the arrowhead feature).

Hi, Steve

?

OK ¨C I think I can walk you through the problem I¡¯m having. It happens in the following sequence:

?

  1. Import a dl file, open in Ucinet, and save the data ?No complaints from Ucinet¡ªjust a square matrix of 1s and 0s (it¡¯s a co-author matrix)
  2. Open the Ucinet datafile in NetDraw¡ªspread of networks open without arrowheads is displayed
  3. Save that configuration as a vna file
  4. Reopen the vna file¡ªarrowheads are showing
  5. Can¡¯t toggle all the arrowheads off

?

A morning¡¯s worth of experiments narrows the issue down to saving a new vna file, and then reopening that same vna file. It doesn¡¯t matter what I¡¯ve done to the NetDraw networks ¨C pulling them about or just leaving them as the original analysis presented them. It¡¯s that second round of opening the vna file that seems to generate the problem.

?

I¡¯m attaching

  • the raw data set,
  • the Ucinet data files #d and #h files),
  • 2 vna test files from the same data file (one where the networks were tweaked and one where they were left alone) and
  • a series of screen shots in MS Word that illustrate what I¡¯m getting with my computer and the Ucinet/NetDraw

?

Insights welcome.
