Some newbie questions - Overlays and adding nodes

[Graphing]

I am having a little difficulty figuring out how to do the overlay. I
actually want to use a map, just like in the screenshots. I am very to
new to python and used to use UCInet.
I'm also having difficulty adding a new node.
In the interpreter, I type nodedef> name and I get an error message
Thank for the help!

The node definitions happen in a separate file which you then load into GUESS (though you can add a node by typing addNode("new node name")).  Try to walk through the tutorial: http://guess.wikispot.org/Tutorial which comes with some sample files.

 

If you look here: http://guess.wikispot.org/Manual (specifically section 16.5) you will also find instructions on how to do the overlays.

Thanks for the help. But in what file/program do I write the node
definitions and do I add the background image through the interpreter?
Thanks again.

the node/edge definitions go into any text file (see "sample.gdf" as in the tutorial), and yes, you add the image through the interpreter.

Thank you.
I understand the node/edge definitions, but I still can't load an
image. I read through the section of the tutorial, but does
v.setBackgroundImage(image_file_name) and
v.setBackgroundImage(image_file_name,xcoord,ycoord)
all go in one line or 2 separate lines? Are they entered in the same
string or separately. and I just enter the image file name, not the
image file location? so if I have a file saved to the location C:
\pictures\maps\CT.jpg, I would enter
v.setBackgroundImage(ct.jpg) and
v.setBackgroundImage(CT.jpg,xcoord,ycoord)
Thanks for all the help,

I did a little more playing around and entered verbatim:
v.setBackgroundImage("c:\users\jon\desktop\logos2.jpg") and received
"mirror tracker errored image load" on the command prompt.
Thanks for all your help and patience!

Did the image load?  I'm not sure if there was an error and it didn't work or there was an error and it did... :)

I got an image to load once, but I can't get it to load consistently.

It seems to only work with certain file names
