Working with complex filters

Complex filters, for our purposes, are defined as filters with two or more conditions placed on some combination of nodes, edges, partitions, or clusters, once again for the purpose of focusing on a specific set of elements within a larger network. Using multiple filters in Gephi is not always easy or intuitive, so we will spend some extra time in this section to walk through several examples in order to expose both the complex filtering approach and the potential for further use of complex filters in your own graphs.

Applying multiple filter conditions

Let's start with some relatively simple examples, complex only in having more than a single filter. In this case, we will create one filter and then use a second condition ...
