This visualization renders a shark using a particle system driven by a force-directed simulation. The shark’s shape is defined by an SVG path, and a grid of points samples the path’s pixels via Canvas `getImageData` to determine where particles should settle. The code uses `d3.forceSimulation` with custom forces to push particles toward the target image while maintaining collision avoidance, and each particle is drawn as a small circle on a canvas. The example demonstrates how force layouts can reconstruct a recognizable shape from unordered points.

This interactive visualization uses a force-directed simulation to animate a network of nodes and links, showing how connected elements cluster and repel. The code relies on D3’s `d3.forceSimulation` with custom forces for charge, centering, and collision, while link positions update via the simulation’s tick handler. Node rendering uses SVG circles, and the visualization reads its data from an embedded array of node and link objects, with no external data source. The interaction includes drag-and-drop support via D3’s drag behavior, letting viewers move nodes while the simulation continuously recalculates positions.

This example visualizes a force-directed graph using D3’s `d3.forceSimulation` to position nodes, with links drawn as SVG lines. The rendering approach uses Canvas `getImageData` to sample pixel data for a custom background effect, while Three.js handles 3D-like sphere rendering for node highlights. The code reads node and edge data from an embedded JavaScript object, and the simulation runs continuously with a `tick` handler updating node positions. A dropdown menu lets users filter the graph by cluster, though the filtering logic only updates node visibility without altering the underlying simulation forces.

This visualization shows a simulated swarm of glowing particles that respond to mouse movement, creating a dynamic, organic flow across the screen. The particles are governed by a physics system using `d3.forceSimulation` with forces for centering, collision, and velocity, while each particle’s position and trail are drawn on an HTML5 `<canvas>` via `requestAnimationFrame`. The code uses `d3.scaleLinear` to map distance and speed to color and opacity, and the mouse interaction adjusts the simulation’s force strengths in real time. The rendering relies entirely on canvas 2D context methods like `arc` and `fillRect`, with a dark background from `styles.css`.

This example visualizes a dynamic network of interconnected nodes, showing how forces shape a cluster’s layout over time. It uses a force-directed simulation via `d3.forceSimulation` with charge, link, and collision forces to position nodes, while links are drawn as straight lines. The rendering relies on SVG paths updated each tick, and the code includes a custom drag interaction using `d3.drag` to let viewers manually reposition nodes. The underlying data structure is a small JavaScript array of objects representing nodes and links, likely sourced from a static inline dataset. The visualization emphasizes real-time interaction rather than geographic or spatial data, focusing on emergent clustering behavior.

This example shows a force-directed network visualization where nodes are positioned on a canvas. The data consists of five simple x,y coordinate pairs from a gist, which are rendered as circles and connected by lines. The code uses D3’s `d3.forceSimulation` to compute node positions and collisions, with each node’s coordinates updated on every tick. The visualization is drawn using the Canvas API’s `getContext('2d')` and `clearRect` for animation, while the simulation’s `force` methods handle the layout. The final output is a static-looking snapshot at the end of the simulation, as no interaction or tweening is implemented.

This example visualizes a force-directed network graph where nodes and links are rendered as animated dots and lines. It uses d3.forceSimulation to compute node positions and d3.line to draw the connections, with the entire scene updated on each simulation tick. The code pulls node coordinates from the simulation and redraws SVG elements, showing how real-time physics-based layout can be paired with D3’s data-binding for interactive node-link diagrams.

SVG Swarm

Five hundred steel-blue circles drift in a simulated swarm, their velocities and positions updated each frame with a simple particle model. D3.js v3 binds the data to SVG circle elements, translating each via the `transform` attribute and scaling its radius based on velocity. A `d3.timer` callback drives the animation, while a live FPS counter in the page header reports the update rate. The visualization compares SVG rendering performance against a canvas-based alternative, using D3's linear scales to map the particle coordinates to pixel space.

This example uses a custom physics simulation to render a network of nodes and links, with each node’s position updated iteratively and drawn as a smooth curve. The code relies on `d3.forceSimulation` and `d3.forceLink` to compute forces, while custom `requestAnimationFrame` loops and `canvas` paths render the animated edges. The data appears to be generated randomly, with no external dataset, and the visualization emphasizes the evolving structure of the simulated graph over time.
