This force-directed graph visualizes character co-occurrence in Victor Hugo’s *Les Misérables*, using D3’s `d3.layout.force` to simulate charged particles and spring-like links. Nodes represent characters, colored by `d.group` via a categorical scale, while link thickness encodes co-occurrence strength (`Math.sqrt(d.value)`). SVG circles and lines update positions on each tick, with drag and zoom support for interaction. The layout algorithm, inspired by Tim Dwyer and Thomas Jakobsen, spatially clusters related characters. Data derives from Donald Knuth’s Stanford GraphBase compilation of character co-appearances.

AI-generated description

This simple force-directed graph shows character co-occurence in Les Misérables. A physical simulation of charged particles and springs places related characters in closer proximity, while unrelated characters are farther apart. Layout algorithm inspired by Tim Dwyer and Thomas Jakobsen. Data based on character coappearence in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, compiled by Donald Knuth.

Force-Directed Graph

This force-directed graph visualizes character co-occurrence in Victor Hugo’s *Les Misérables*, using a physical simulation to position related characters closer together. The SVG rendering employs `d3.forceSimulation` with link, charge, and center forces to calculate node positions, while link thickness reflects co-occurrence frequency. Nodes are colored by group membership, and drag interactions allow users to adjust the layout. The data comes from Donald Knuth’s compilation of character appearances.

Force-Directed Graph

This force-directed graph maps character co-occurrence in Victor Hugo’s *Les Misérables*: each circle is a character, each line a shared scene. A D3 force simulation with charge and link forces groups related characters together, while node color encodes the character’s group and line thickness reflects co-occurrence strength. Built with D3 v4 and rendered as SVG, the graph is interactive — nodes can be dragged to explore the network, and the simulation repositions related characters into proximity. The data was compiled by Donald Knuth and the layout is based on prior work by Tim Dwyer and Thomas Jakobsen.

Les misérables (graphe)

This D3.js force-directed graph visualizes the character interactions in Victor Hugo’s *Les Misérables*, using a JSON dataset of nodes (characters) and weighted links (co-appearances). The SVG rendering uses `d3.forceSimulation` with link, many-body charge, and centering forces to position nodes, while node fill colors are assigned by categorical group via `d3.scaleOrdinal`. Link stroke-width encodes interaction strength, and nodes are draggable, with a tooltip showing each character’s name.

Force-Directed Graph

This force-directed graph visualizes character co-occurrence in *Les Miséables*, using a physical simulation to position related characters closer together. Based on data compiled by Donald Knuth, the layout applies charged-particle repulsion and spring-like link forces, with node color encoding community group and link thickness reflecting co-appearance frequency. The D3 v4 implementation precomputes the layout over 300 ticks, then renders static SVG circles and lines, with drag-and-drop interaction to explore the network.

Untitled

This example visualizes the character co-occurrence network from Victor Hugo’s *Les Misérables* as an interactive force-directed graph. Nodes represent characters, colored by group, while links show relationships with thickness scaled by connection weight. The visualization uses D3 v4’s `d3.forceSimulation` with link, charge, and center forces to position elements, and `d3.drag` enables node dragging. Rendered in SVG, it labels each node with the character’s name and includes hover tooltips. Data comes from the bundled `miserables.json` file.

Untitled

This visualization shows the network of character interactions from Victor Hugo’s *Les Misérables*, using a force-directed layout to cluster characters into groups by their relationships. Nodes represent characters and are colored by their group; links represent co-appearance, with thickness proportional to interaction weight. The example uses D3 v4’s `d3.forceSimulation` for the physics engine, `d3.forceLink`, `d3.forceManyBody`, and `d3.forceCenter` to shape the layout, and `d3.drag` for interactive node dragging. Data comes from the included `miserables.json` file, rendered as SVG elements.

Force-Directed Graph

A force-directed graph visualizes the co-occurrence of characters in Victor Hugo’s *Les Misérables*, rendered as nodes and links on a Canvas. Using D3 v4’s `d3.forceSimulation` with `d3.forceLink`, `d3.forceManyBody`, and `d3.forceCenter`, the layout iteratively positions nodes based on link forces. The animation updates on each tick, clearing the canvas and redrawing edges and nodes as gray lines and white-stroked circles. Data comes from the bundled `miserables.json` file.

Relation Graph with d3-force

This interactive relation graph visualizes the character co-occurrence network from Victor Hugo's *Les Misérables*. Using `forceSimulation` from the `d3-force` library alongside the standard d3.v6 API, it maps characters to circles and their interactions to weighted lines. The SVG rendering supports both node dragging via the `drag` behavior and view zooming controlled through the `zoom` extension, which applies transforms to the network elements. Nodes are colored by their group assignment using the `schemeCategory10` palette.
