"Float" type instead of "decimal" type for graphml

[Conrad Lee]

Hello Konstanz!

I've been having trouble importing graphml files.  At the beginning of these files there is a section where you declare the attributes of nodes and edges.  It looks like this:

  <key attr.name="weight" attr.type="float" for="edge" id="d4" />
  <key attr.name="lag" attr.type="int" for="edge" id="d3" />     
  <key attr.name="label" attr.type="string" for="node" id="d2" />
  <key attr.name="pagerank" attr.type="float" for="node" id="d1" />
  <key attr.name="weighted_indegree" attr.type="float" for="node" id="d0" />

Visone doesn't like the attr.type="float" -- it imports these as strings.  It seems that visone expects attr.type="decimal" instead.  It appears that the GraphML specification says the correct name is "float".  Perhaps Visone could support both "float" and "decimal" and map them  both to floating point types.

Of course there is a workaround to this problem: use the "attribute manager" to change the types.  But it is annoying to do this every time, and ideally Visone would support the proper GraphML specification.

Greetings from Dublin,

P.S. Some Visone visualizations have made it into the media (e.g., here here and here)

Dear Conrad,

in the next release, visone will recognize the attribute type "float" as decimal, too.
