Two force-directed layouts run simultaneously: one positions graph nodes and edges from randomly generated links, while a second governs label anchors that orbit each node at a fixed distance and repel one another to prevent overlap. Labels on the right align left, labels on the left align right, with interpolation in between. The code uses d3.layout.force for both simulations, d3.select, SVG text bounding boxes via getBBox, and manual transform updates on each tick.

Force Layout with labels on edges

This example shows a force-directed graph where nodes are labeled and every edge carries a text label that follows the link’s path, with arrowheads marking direction. The visualization relies on d3.v3’s `d3.layout.force` to position nodes and update links on each tick. Edge labels are rendered by appending `<textPath>` elements to hidden `<path>` elements, which reference the edge’s ID, allowing the label to orient automatically along the line. Node positions, edge coordinates, and label locations are all updated in the force’s tick handler, and data is pulled from a hardcoded JavaScript array.

Force Layout with labels on edges

A force-directed graph displays 88 numbered nodes connected by links, with each edge labeled by a numeric value. The visualization uses d3.forceSimulation to compute node positions and render SVG elements, while React manages the component structure and lifecycle. Edge labels are positioned at the midpoint of each link, updating continuously as the simulation runs and nodes shift positions. The example demonstrates combining D3's layout algorithms with React's declarative rendering for dynamic network visualization.

Force Layout Example 1

Two circles connected by a single line demonstrate a basic force-directed graph layout. The D3.js v3 code uses `d3.layout.force()` to position the nodes and link, with the simulation running until it reaches equilibrium. The SVG rendering applies CSS classes for node and link styling, and the final coordinates are applied to the circle and line elements after the force calculation completes.

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.

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.

Force-Directed Layout

A force-directed layout arranges a small tree of nodes and links in a web page, with nodes as circles and links as gray lines. The graph data comes from a `graph.json` file, and the visualization uses the D3.js libraries `d3.layout.force` and `d3.scale.category20` to compute and render the positions. During the simulation, a weak tree force pushes source nodes upward and target nodes downward, while the layout engine handles charge and link distance to spread the network.

Force Layout with multiple labelled edges between nodes

This example shows a force-directed graph with multiple labeled edges between nodes, where each edge carries a distinct text label. The visualization uses D3 v3’s `d3.layout.force` to position three nodes, while custom functions `countSiblingLinks` and `getSiblingLinks` detect parallel links between the same source and target. The `arcPath` function draws curved paths for each sibling edge, and invisible paths with text elements display the labels along the curves. Data comes from a hardcoded set of edges containing lyrical phrases.

Force Layout from Adjacency List

This example demonstrates a force-directed graph layout using data from a JSON adjacency list. Nodes are rendered as circles and edges as lines in an SVG canvas. The layout physics, including collision detection and link constraints, are handled by the `d3.layout.force` API, while node dragging is enabled via `force.drag`. The graph is initialized from the `graph.json` file, which defines connections between 24 numbered nodes, and the simulation updates node and link positions on each tick.
