This example displays a static force-directed graph of 100 nodes arranged in a circular pattern, with each node connected to the node three positions away. The visualization uses d3.forceSimulation to run a fixed number of layout iterations before rendering the final positions as SVG circles and lines. The code applies charge, link, x, and y forces, then simulates until the cooling schedule completes, showing the finished graph without any interactive updates.

AI-generated description

This demonstrates how to produce a static force-directed graph layout with d3-force. Rather than updating the graph with each tick, we run the graph a fixed number of times, and then display it once. To avoid freezing the user interface, it may be desirable to compute the force-directed layout in a web worker.

Static Force Layout

A static force-directed graph layout renders 100 linked nodes as circles and lines in SVG, computed with d3.forceSimulation, d3.forceManyBody, d3.forceLink, d3.forceX, and d3.forceY. The simulation is stopped and looped through a fixed number of ticks before drawing the final positions, avoiding incremental updates. A brief loading text appears while the layout computes asynchronously via d3.timeout.

D3 Force Simulation

This example displays a static force-directed network of 100 circles and 100 randomly generated links on an SVG canvas, using D3 v4. Nodes are positioned randomly and rendered as steelblue circles, while links are implied but never drawn, so the visualization focuses solely on node placement. The code prepares data structures for a force simulation but does not call d3.forceSimulation, leaving the layout in its initial random state.

D3 v4 - force layout

This example demonstrates a force-directed network layout of 100 nodes and 100 links, rendered as animated SVG circles and lines. The visualization uses d3.forceSimulation with forces for link attraction, collision detection, many-body repulsion, centering, and x/y positioning. Users can drag nodes within the 900×500 pixel graph area, with the simulation’s alpha target adjusting during interaction. The layout updates every tick, repositioning nodes and links based on the simulation state.

D3 v4 - force layout

This example shows a force-directed graph with 100 randomly generated nodes and links, rendered as SVG circles and lines. The code builds the network using `d3.forceSimulation` with forces for link distance, collision, charge, centering, and X/Y positioning, then updates node and link positions on each tick. Nodes are draggable via `d3.drag`, and drag events adjust the simulation’s alpha target to restart or settle movement. The data is synthesized in the script, and the visualization initializes from a blockbuilder.org fork.

D3 Force Simulation

This example shows a force-directed layout with 100 randomly connected nodes rendered as steelblue circles on an SVG canvas. The code creates nodes and links with random positions and connections using `d3.range` and `Math.random`. It uses `d3.select` to bind data and append circle elements with `attr` calls for positioning and styling. However, the simulation itself is not implemented—no `d3.forceSimulation` is invoked, so the graph remains static rather than animated. The visualization relies on D3 v4 and renders entirely via SVG.

Force-Directed Graph

A force-directed graph displays 13 nodes and 18 links, using a physical simulation to position the circles and lines in an organic, interconnected layout. The D3 v3 code constructs an SVG scene with `d3.layout.force`, applying a negative charge to repel nodes and a tick handler to update the `x`, `y`, `cx`, and `cy` attributes of the line and circle elements. The graph’s structure is defined by a hard-coded nodes array and links array, representing an abstract network for the visualization.

D3 Force Simulation

This example shows a force-directed layout with 100 nodes and 100 randomly generated links rendered as circles and lines in an SVG. The code creates node positions using `Math.random()` and defines link source/target pairs randomly, but it does not run a force simulation or draw the links. It uses D3 v4 to bind data and append circle elements with a steelblue fill, sized at a radius of 3.5 pixels each.

D3 Force Simulation

This example shows a static scatterplot-style network diagram of 100 randomly generated nodes and links, rendered as steelblue circles on an SVG canvas. The code defines node positions and link endpoints using `d3.range` and `Math.random`, then appends circles via `svg.selectAll(".node").data().enter()`. Although the title suggests a force simulation, the visible code does not invoke `d3.forceSimulation`, leaving the layout fixed; the example relies on D3 v4 for data binding and SVG element creation.
