The document provides instructions for network analysis and visualization tasks in UCINET. It describes how to: 1. Partition a network to draw dining table partners and manually adjust vertex classes. 2. Extract a subnetwork from a larger network using two partition files that assign vertices to clusters. 3. Analyze cluster properties for a partition file with 3 clusters including frequency distributions and representative vertices. 4. Shrink a network by removing edges below a selected cluster value from a second partition file. 5. Create a vector partition from a continuous vector by truncating values into categories.

2. Drawing dining-table partners
Partition> create Null partition
Draw> draw-select all ctrl+a
Press shift and click to raise the class number of a vertex by 1
Press alt and click to subtract the class number by 1
Position the cursor near the vertex to move the vertices in the same class
Extract a sub-network
Read network and partition ‘continent.clu’

4. How to create the circular layout?
First, use KK energy command.
Second, manually move the partitioned
vertices!
