This visualization demonstrates a force-directed graph with labeled edges, using d3.layout.force to position ten named nodes and thirteen links. Edge labels automatically flip 180 degrees when the target node moves left of the source, keeping text readable, while arrowheads mark link direction. The code renders SVG circles, lines, and text paths, updating positions each tick via the force layout’s event handler.

Force Layout with labels on edges

This example shows a force-directed graph where nodes are labeled and every edge carries a text label that follows the link’s path, with arrowheads marking direction. The visualization relies on d3.v3’s `d3.layout.force` to position nodes and update links on each tick. Edge labels are rendered by appending `<textPath>` elements to hidden `<path>` elements, which reference the edge’s ID, allowing the label to orient automatically along the line. Node positions, edge coordinates, and label locations are all updated in the force’s tick handler, and data is pulled from a hardcoded JavaScript array.

Force Layout with labels on edges

This example shows a force-directed network graph with ten nodes and thirteen edges, where each edge carries a label that automatically flips to remain readable. The graph uses the D3.js v3 `d3.layout.force` for physics simulation and renders all elements onto a Canvas via its 2D context (`getContext('2d')`). Edge paths are drawn as invisible paths that host SVG `<textPath>` elements, which are rotated 180 degrees when the target node is left of the source. Node labels and arrowheads are also included, with the simulation updating positions on each tick.

Force Layout with labels on edges

A force-directed graph displays 88 numbered nodes connected by links, with each edge labeled by a numeric value. The visualization uses d3.forceSimulation to compute node positions and render SVG elements, while React manages the component structure and lifecycle. Edge labels are positioned at the midpoint of each link, updating continuously as the simulation runs and nodes shift positions. The example demonstrates combining D3's layout algorithms with React's declarative rendering for dynamic network visualization.

Force Layout with multiple labelled edges between nodes

This example shows a force-directed graph with multiple labeled edges between nodes, where each edge carries a distinct text label. The visualization uses D3 v3’s `d3.layout.force` to position three nodes, while custom functions `countSiblingLinks` and `getSiblingLinks` detect parallel links between the same source and target. The `arcPath` function draws curved paths for each sibling edge, and invisible paths with text elements display the labels along the curves. Data comes from a hardcoded set of edges containing lyrical phrases.

Force based label placement

Two force-directed layouts run simultaneously: one positions graph nodes and edges from randomly generated links, while a second governs label anchors that orbit each node at a fixed distance and repel one another to prevent overlap. Labels on the right align left, labels on the left align right, with interpolation in between. The code uses d3.layout.force for both simulations, d3.select, SVG text bounding boxes via getBBox, and manual transform updates on each tick.

ForceDirectedGraph

This example visualizes a small directed graph with six interlinked nodes and weighted edges, rendering nodes as colored circles with labels and links as lines whose thickness reflects edge weight. The visualization uses D3.js v3’s force layout (`d3.layout.force`) to position nodes, with link distance driven by edge weight and a collision detection function to prevent overlap. Node colors, sizes, and stroke styles come from the dataset, while hover titles expose metadata. The SVG is created and updated on each force tick, and edges optionally display arrow markers for directionality when configured.

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.

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.
