This example shows a small force-directed network graph created from a CSV file, with circles representing nodes and lines representing links. It reads the edge list `graph.csv` and builds a node map from the source and target columns. The layout uses the D3 v3 `d3.layout.force` module, rendering with SVG elements. The code loads the CSV with `d3.csv`, then starts the simulation; on each tick, it updates the `x` and `y` coordinates of the circles and lines. Node dragging is enabled via `force.drag`.

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.

Force Directed Graph

A force-directed graph visualizes relationships among nodes in a network, with circle size reflecting group membership and link thickness indicating connection weight. The example loads CSV data from an external source and renders an interactive SVG where users can drag nodes, zoom, and click to highlight connected rows and columns in an accompanying adjacency matrix. It uses `d3.forceSimulation`, `d3.forceLink`, `d3.forceManyBody`, and `d3.forceCenter` for layout, with `d3.drag` and `d3.zoom` for interaction. The code also employs `d3.csv` for data parsing and builds the matrix using SVG rectangles and text elements.

Force Directed Graph - Simple

This example shows a force-directed graph built from hierarchical data stored in a flat CSV file. The visualization converts the parent-child relationships into a network layout using `d3.stratify`, then renders the resulting nodes as circles positioned by the `d3.forceSimulation` with link, charge, and center forces. The example uses D3 v5 to load the data with `d3.csv`, applies a paired color scale to nodes based on their parent, and draws the output as SVG elements. The code includes commented-out drag and tooltip interactions that are not active in the final rendering.

D test force direct

This example demonstrates a minimal force-directed graph, showing four nodes and three directed links loaded from a CSV file. It relies on D3 version 7’s legacy `d3.layout.force` API to calculate node positions and update SVG circle and line elements on each tick. The data is read asynchronously with `d3.csv`, and the layout is initialized with a fixed width and height. Node drag behavior is enabled through `force.drag`, though no styling is applied to the elements beyond the default.

Force-directed Layout

This example shows a force-directed network layout of a graph dataset from the Network Data Repository. Nodes appear as orange circles, with gray links connecting them; hovering over a node displays its ID in a tooltip. The visualization uses D3.js v6 with `d3.forceSimulation`, `d3.forceLink`, and `d3.forceManyBody` to compute node positions, while `d3.drag` enables interactive node repositioning. Data is loaded from a CSV file, and the SVG rendering updates continuously during simulation ticks, with node colors assigned via `d3.scaleOrdinal`.

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.

Fork of Canvas Force Tutorial

This example shows a force-directed network graph built from a CSV file of names and connection weights, rendered as circles and lines on an HTML5 Canvas. It uses d3.forceSimulation with forceX, forceY, forceCollide, forceManyBody, and forceLink to position the nodes, updating the canvas on each simulation tick via the `ctx` drawing context. The visualization reads data.csv asynchronously with d3.csv, constructs the node and link arrays, and then starts the simulation, with node radius fixed at 7 pixels.

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.
