A static force-directed graph layout renders 100 linked nodes as circles and lines in SVG, computed with d3.forceSimulation, d3.forceManyBody, d3.forceLink, d3.forceX, and d3.forceY. The simulation is stopped and looped through a fixed number of ticks before drawing the final positions, avoiding incremental updates. A brief loading text appears while the layout computes asynchronously via d3.timeout.

AI-generated description

This demonstrates how to produce a static force-directed graph layout with d3-force. Rather than updating the graph with each tick, we run the graph a fixed number of times, and then display it once. To avoid freezing the user interface, it may be desirable to compute the force-directed layout in a web worker.

Static Force Layout

This example displays a static force-directed graph of 100 nodes arranged in a circular pattern, with each node connected to the node three positions away. The visualization uses d3.forceSimulation to run a fixed number of layout iterations before rendering the final positions as SVG circles and lines. The code applies charge, link, x, and y forces, then simulates until the cooling schedule completes, showing the finished graph without any interactive updates.

D3 v4 - force layout

This example demonstrates a force-directed network layout of 100 nodes and 100 links, rendered as animated SVG circles and lines. The visualization uses d3.forceSimulation with forces for link attraction, collision detection, many-body repulsion, centering, and x/y positioning. Users can drag nodes within the 900×500 pixel graph area, with the simulation’s alpha target adjusting during interaction. The layout updates every tick, repositioning nodes and links based on the simulation state.

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 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 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.

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.

D3 Force Simulation

A force-directed network of 100 nodes and 300 randomly generated links settles into a stable layout under a centering force, many-body repulsion, link distance constraints, and collision avoidance. The visualization uses D3 v4's `d3.forceSimulation` with `d3.forceCenter`, `d3.forceManyBody`, `d3.forceLink`, and `d3.forceCollide` to animate the physics, while nodes are draggable via D3's drag interaction. The simulation updates an SVG canvas on each tick, redrawing lines and circles as positions change. The random data is generated programmatically, creating an abstract, interactive demonstration of force-based layout.

How to D3 Force Directed Layout Graph

This example demonstrates a force-directed layout graph using D3.js (v5). Nodes and links are rendered as SVG elements, with the graph's structure implied by the bundled JavaScript. The code uses D3’s built-in force simulation (d3.forceSimulation) to position the connected nodes naturally, while the stylesheet defines the visual appearance of the nodes as grey circles and the links as grey lines. The data is not explicitly shown, but the layout emerges from the simulated forces between connected nodes.
