IMDB Graph

Goals

The purpose of this assignment is to learn to

1. Build graphs using BRIDGES
2. Use the IMDB Actor-Movie pairs dataset to build a graph
3. Style the graph (nodes, links) of two specific actors and the movies they are part of.

You will generate a visualization that looks like that!

Programming part

Task

Getting Started

1. Open your scaffolded code.
2. Plug in your credentials.
3. Review the Graph tutorial here
4. Review the ActorMovieIMDB class in BRIDGES
5. The data is retrieved and stored in a list (of ActorMovieIMDB objects). Iterate through the list and add vertices for actors and movies. Note: onlyadd the nodes if they are not already in the graph.
6. Compile, run, and visualize and you should see a large graph
7. Style the graph. Look for the two actors 'Cate_Blanchett' and 'Kevin_Bacon_(I)'; for these actors, set their node colors to something unique and their linkes to the movies a different color (refer to the graph tutorial for how to change visual attributes)
8. Compile, run, and visualize and you should see a large graph
