This example demonstrates a simple force-directed network graph with three nodes connected by three links, using Game of Thrones houses as node labels. The visualization renders circles and lines in SVG and relies on `d3.forceSimulation` to compute the layout, with `linkDistance(300)` set to space the nodes apart. Node positions update on each tick event, while `force.drag` enables interactive dragging. The code builds nodes and links from a hardcoded array of source-target pairs, stored as plain JavaScript objects, and styles the elements via CSS classes.

How to D3 Force Directed Layout Graph

This example demonstrates a force-directed layout graph using D3.js (v5). Nodes and links are rendered as SVG elements, with the graph's structure implied by the bundled JavaScript. The code uses D3’s built-in force simulation (d3.forceSimulation) to position the connected nodes naturally, while the stylesheet defines the visual appearance of the nodes as grey circles and the links as grey lines. The data is not explicitly shown, but the layout emerges from the simulated forces between connected nodes.

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 Force-Directed Graph

This example demonstrates a force-directed network layout, visualizing a small set of nodes and their connections with interactive dragging. The graph dynamically arranges connected circles using a physics simulation, cleanly separating linked nodes while repelling them from one another. The visualization is built with D3 v7, using `d3.forceSimulation` together with its `forceLink`, `forceManyBody`, and `forceCenter` components. The SVG output renders nodes as circles with labels and edges as straight lines, with positions updated on each simulation tick. The code also includes a guard that filters out any edges referencing non-existent nodes, ensuring the structure remains valid.

D3 v4 - force layout

This example demonstrates a force-directed graph layout using D3 v4's physical simulation API. The visualization shows 100 labeled nodes connected by random links, with node sizes varying between 8 and 28 pixels. The simulation applies multiple forces—link attraction, collision avoidance, many-body repulsion, and centering—to position the nodes dynamically. Dragging nodes with the mouse temporarily restarts the simulation with higher alpha, allowing interactive manipulation of the network. The code uses `d3.forceSimulation`, `d3.forceLink`, `d3.forceCollide`, `d3.forceManyBody`, and `d3.drag` to render SVG circles and lines, updating positions on each simulation tick.

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 layout

A force-directed graph layout shows a network of 26 named nodes connected by 11 links, with each node displayed as a GitHub favicon icon and a text label. The visualization uses D3 v3’s `d3.layout.force` to simulate physical forces with zero gravity, a charge of -2, and a link distance of 100, while the simulation updates node positions and link coordinates on each tick event. Data is loaded from a local `graph.json` file containing node groups and link betweenness values, and the SVG rendering includes draggable nodes and grey lines for links.

D3 Forces

This example demonstrates a basic force-directed graph layout with three labeled nodes and two connecting links. Using the D3.js library version 7.8.0, it applies `d3.forceSimulation` with `forceManyBody`, `forceLink`, and `forceCenter` forces to position nodes. The visualization renders as SVG circles, text labels, and lines, updating their positions on each simulation tick based on computed node coordinates. The code imports methods like `select`, `forceSimulation`, and `forceCenter` directly from D3, with data defined as simple JavaScript objects containing node IDs and link indices.

Force Layout starter

This example shows a basic force-directed graph with three nodes and two links. The visualization uses d3.forceSimulation with forceManyBody, forceLink, and forceCenter forces to position and animate the network. Circles represent nodes and lines represent links, drawn in an SVG container. The simulation updates node positions on each tick event, and the code includes force simulation configuration and dynamic attribute updates for the SVG elements.
