This example demonstrates a custom radial force in D3.js that positions nodes into two distinct concentric circles. Red nodes cluster at a radius of 100 pixels, while blue nodes form a larger circle at 200 pixels. The simulation uses `d3.forceSimulation` combined with a custom `forceRadial` function and `d3.forceCollide` to prevent overlap. Node positions are rendered as SVG circles, with the force updating their `cx` and `cy` attributes on each tick.

AI-generated description

This example shows how to create a custom “radial” force that places nodes in a circle with a configurable radius and center. The red nodes form a circle of approximate radius 100px, and the blue nodes approximately 200px.

Radial Force

This example demonstrates custom radial forces in D3, positioning red nodes on a circle of radius 100 pixels and blue nodes on a radius of 200 pixels, with reference circles drawn as SVG paths. It uses `d3.forceSimulation` with a `d3.forceCollide` for node spacing and a `d3.forceRadial` force that targets each node’s radius based on its type. The simulation runs over a typed array of 240 nodes, and each tick updates circle elements’ `cx` and `cy` attributes. The visualization is rendered entirely in SVG with a `viewBox` centered at the origin.

3D Radial Force

This example visualizes a 3D radial force layout, where two classes of nodes are attracted to the surfaces of concentric spheres with radii of 300 and 600 pixels, respectively. The 700-node dataset, with one class in brown and the other in steelblue, demonstrates how radial attraction and collision forces organize the nodes into distinct spherical shells. The visualization relies on the `3d-force-graph` library for WebGL rendering and the `d3-force-3d` library, which provides the `d3.forceRadial` and `d3.forceCollide` functions to drive the simulation.

clusters force

This example shows 300 circular nodes grouped into three distinct clusters, each with its own radial gradient color scheme. The visualization uses a force-directed simulation with `d3.forceSimulation` and a custom cluster force to keep nodes near their group’s center, while `d3.forceCollide` prevents overlap by applying padding based on node radius. The nodes are drawn as SVG circles, with each cluster’s color derived from a linear scale mapped to a radial gradient, creating a smooth visual distinction. The code defines three separate radial gradients and assigns them based on the node’s cluster value, while the custom cluster force adjusts node positions relative to a designated cluster center.

d3-force-cluster and d3-force-attract

Two hundred circles, shaded by cluster with a sequential rainbow scale, are positioned by a force simulation that combines `d3.forceAttract` to pull nodes toward the screen center and `d3.forceCluster` to group them into ten distinct clusters. The layout uses `d3.forceSimulation` with a custom `d3.forceCollide` whose strength ramps up over three seconds for a smooth transition. Each node is an SVG circle, rendered with `d3.drag` for interactive repositioning, while the tick handler updates the `cx`, `cy`, and `r` attributes. The data is generated randomly, with radii varying by cluster, and the example runs in the browser using D3 v4 and the `d3-force-attract` and `d3-force-cluster` plugins.

Custom Force Manipulation

This example demonstrates a custom force-directed simulation where 250 nodes, grouped into five color-coded types, repel each other and are pulled toward the center while colliding and settling into a stable clustered layout. Using d3.forceSimulation with configurable forces for charge, x/y centering, and collision, the nodes animate in SVG as the simulation ticks. The rendering includes touch interaction support, allowing users to place temporary circular touch zones on the canvas that subtly pull nearby nodes toward them through the tick handler’s custom logic.

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 force-directed layout with 100 nodes and 100 randomly generated links rendered as circles and lines in an SVG. The code creates node positions using `Math.random()` and defines link source/target pairs randomly, but it does not run a force simulation or draw the links. It uses D3 v4 to bind data and append circle elements with a steelblue fill, sized at a radius of 3.5 pixels each.

D3 Force Simulation

This example displays a static force-directed layout of 100 randomly positioned circles rendered as an SVG network. It creates nodes with randomized x and y coordinates using `d3.range` and `Math.random`, then appends them as circle elements to a 400 by 400 SVG canvas. Although the code sets up node data, it does not call `d3.forceSimulation` or create any links, so the circles remain in their initial random positions without movement. The visualization uses D3 v4 and directly manipulates SVG circle attributes.
