This clustered force layout visualizes 200 circles organized into 10 color-coded clusters, with each circle’s size varying by cluster. The d3.v3 force layout uses two custom forces: a cluster force that pulls circles toward the largest node of the same color, and a collide force using d3.geom.quadtree to prevent overlaps. Circle separation differs between same-color and different-color pairs. The SVG rendering updates circle positions on each tick event, with colors assigned via d3.scale.category10.

AI-generated description

This clustered force layout is implemented using two custom forces. The first, cluster, pushes nodes towards the largest node of the same color. A second collide force prevents circles from overlapping by detecting collisions.

This example uses standard gravity; compare to custom gravity applied only to the largest node of each color. To minimize distracting jitter during initialization, try an entry transition.

Clustered Force Layout II

Ten clusters of colored circles drift and separate on a dark background, with each cluster gathering around its largest member while circles avoid overlapping. The visualization uses d3.layout.force with custom cluster and collide forces, leveraging d3.geom.quadtree for collision detection and d3.scale.category10 for colors. Data is procedurally generated in the browser, with 200 circles of varying radii across 10 groups, rendered as SVG elements.

Clustered Force Layout III

This example shows a clustered force layout where 200 circles are grouped into 10 color-coded clusters, with node sizes varying by cluster. D3’s force layout initializes nodes near their cluster’s center on a circular path, then applies custom cluster and collision forces during each tick to converge on a stable arrangement. An entry transition uses `transition.attrTween` to grow circle radii from zero, delaying collision detection to reduce jitter. The visualization is rendered as animated SVG using D3 v3, with data generated randomly via `Math.random` and `d3.scale.category10` for colors.

Cluster Force Layout IV

This example shows a force-directed cluster layout where 200 nodes are grouped into 10 distinct color-coded clusters, with circle size representing varying radii. The visualization initializes node positions using D3’s circle-packing layout (`d3.layout.pack`) before transitioning to a custom force layout (`d3.layout.force`) that applies clustering and collision avoidance. During the animated tick, the `cluster` function pulls nodes toward their cluster’s largest node, while the `collide` function uses a quadtree (`d3.geom.quadtree`) to prevent overlap, separating nodes by padding or cluster padding based on cluster membership. The SVG circles are rendered with smooth entrance transitions via `transition.attrTween`, which interpolates radius from zero to their final value.

Cluster Force Layout IV

This example shows 200 circles grouped into 10 color-coded clusters, with node positions initialized using the d3.layout.pack circle-packing layout and then animated into a clustered force layout via d3.layout.force. The simulation applies a custom cluster function to pull same-color nodes together and a collide function using d3.geom.quadtree to resolve overlaps. Circles enter with a staggered radius transition via attrTween, and the force tick updates SVG circle positions. The data is generated randomly, with radii derived from a log distribution and clusters defined by a categorical color scale.

Multi-Foci Force Layout

A multi-foci force layout arranges 200 nodes into 10 distinct color-coded clusters, each pulled toward its own focal point along the horizontal axis. The visualization uses a custom gravity function to move nodes toward cluster centers and a collision detection routine built on a quadtree to prevent overlapping circles. Rendered as SVG with D3 v3, the code employs `d3.layout.force`, `d3.scale.ordinal` for focal positions, and `d3.geom.quadtree` for efficient proximity checks, with node radii derived from a logarithmic distribution.

d3-force-cluster and d3-force-attract

Two hundred circles, shaded by cluster with a sequential rainbow scale, are positioned by a force simulation that combines `d3.forceAttract` to pull nodes toward the screen center and `d3.forceCluster` to group them into ten distinct clusters. The layout uses `d3.forceSimulation` with a custom `d3.forceCollide` whose strength ramps up over three seconds for a smooth transition. Each node is an SVG circle, rendered with `d3.drag` for interactive repositioning, while the tick handler updates the `cx`, `cy`, and `r` attributes. The data is generated randomly, with radii varying by cluster, and the example runs in the browser using D3 v4 and the `d3-force-attract` and `d3-force-cluster` plugins.

Multi-Foci Force Layout

A multi-foci force layout clusters 100 circles into four groups using D3’s d3.layout.force with position Verlet integration. Custom forces push nodes up, down, and sideways based on their index, while d3.event and force.drag enable mouse interaction. Clicking the page perturbs node positions with random offsets, and the simulation resumes. SVG circles render with a categorical color scale and animate smoothly via the tick event.

Force Layout Multiples (Independent)

Ten independent force-layout multiples run side by side, each containing a cluster of circles sized by a square-root scale and colored by category. The code generates 200 random nodes distributed among 10 groups using d3.layout.force, with a custom collide function that leverages d3.geom.quadtree to resolve overlaps. Each cluster is rendered as an SVG group translated along a horizontal ordinal scale, with drag support and tick updates shown in d3.v3.
