A force-directed network diagram visualizes the structural graph of the HB/can_161 sparse matrix from the University of Florida Sparse Matrix Collection. The D3.js v3 code uses `d3.layout.force` to simulate node physics and renders circles and lines as SVG elements. Data is parsed from Matrix Market format by filtering comment lines and constructing node and link objects. The layout responds to drag interactions via `force.drag`, updating node positions and link coordinates on each tick.
AI-generated descriptionThe University of Florida Sparse Matrix Collection provides a vast collection of interesting graphs in Matrix Market format. This example shows how to adapt this format to D3's force layout.
