Tours

A tour in Network Narratives is best imagined as a slide-deck. Each slide tells you something about your network. A tour consists of

slides, showing a single fact about your network (e.g., a piece of information such as the most connected node, or the network density), and
sections, grouping slides of a specific topic (e.g., centrality measures).

Slides in a tour are calculated by Network Narratives once a tour has been selected.

You can use the Navigation Bar to navigate between slides.

Some slides propose detours, i.e., by including similar slides on demand, e.g., to learn more about a specific topic fact shown on a slide.
Other slides link to related tours, e.g., to learn more about the ego network of a node mentioned at that slide.
