This interactive knot visualization generates random Gauss codes from four crossings and renders them as dynamic force-directed diagrams using D3 v4. Users can click translucent overlay circles to cycle each crossing through over, under, vertical, and horizontal smoothing states, which updates the link topology in real time. The SVG output combines thick colored paths representing knot strands with dashed helper lines, while `d3.forceSimulation` with x, y, and charge forces arranges the port nodes. Circle fill colors distinguish crossing types, and drag interactions let viewers manually reposition all elements.

A force-directed graph visualization renders abstract knot structures from Gauss codes, which encode crossings as sequences of signed numbers. The example generates a random code of length 2n and draws the resulting knot as a network of circular nodes and elliptical link paths. Each crossing appears as two connected ports, with dashed segments marking knot skeletons. The visualization uses D3 v4's `d3.forceSimulation` with link, charge, and positioning forces, while nodes are draggable and recompute their layout continuously. The SVG output shows the evolving knot structure as the simulation runs.

Arbitrary Visualization

Clicking on the canvas generates a cluster of blue-tinted, gradient-filled SVG shapes that grow, fade, and dissolve over time. Each click creates a new group of nodes connected by closed basis curves, which are then simulated through a force-directed layout using `d3.forceSimulation` with charge, collision, and Y-position forces. The nodes and links are drawn as SVG `path` elements, with a radial gradient fill and animated opacity transitions that remove each shape after a 60-second delay. The code uses d3 v4 and a custom `d3.line` with `curveBasisClosed` to define the bubble edges.

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 Simulation

This example displays a static force-directed network of 100 circles and 100 randomly generated links on an SVG canvas, using D3 v4. Nodes are positioned randomly and rendered as steelblue circles, while links are implied but never drawn, so the visualization focuses solely on node placement. The code prepares data structures for a force simulation but does not call d3.forceSimulation, leaving the layout in its initial random state.

D3 Force Simulation

This example shows a force-directed layout with 100 randomly connected nodes rendered as steelblue circles on an SVG canvas. The code creates nodes and links with random positions and connections using `d3.range` and `Math.random`. It uses `d3.select` to bind data and append circle elements with `attr` calls for positioning and styling. However, the simulation itself is not implemented—no `d3.forceSimulation` is invoked, so the graph remains static rather than animated. The visualization relies on D3 v4 and renders entirely via SVG.

D3 Force Simulation

This example shows a static scatterplot-style network diagram of 100 randomly generated nodes and links, rendered as steelblue circles on an SVG canvas. The code defines node positions and link endpoints using `d3.range` and `Math.random`, then appends circles via `svg.selectAll(".node").data().enter()`. Although the title suggests a force simulation, the visible code does not invoke `d3.forceSimulation`, leaving the layout fixed; the example relies on D3 v4 for data binding and SVG element creation.

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.

Force-Directed Graph

A force-directed graph displays 13 nodes and 18 links, using a physical simulation to position the circles and lines in an organic, interconnected layout. The D3 v3 code constructs an SVG scene with `d3.layout.force`, applying a negative charge to repel nodes and a tick handler to update the `x`, `y`, `cx`, and `cy` attributes of the line and circle elements. The graph’s structure is defined by a hard-coded nodes array and links array, representing an abstract network for the visualization.
