AM Twitter Connections v1.0
This visualization maps mutual Twitter connections among Welsh Assembly Members using a D3 v4 force simulation. Nodes represent individual AMs, while curved links indicate reciprocal follow relationships, mined on 22/03/2017. The graph uses a calculated control point per edge to create gentle arcs instead of straight lines, avoiding the need for intermediate nodes. Interactive hover effects fade out non-connected nodes, highlighting the direct network of each member. The layout employs force-directed positioning with link strength, charge, collision, and centering forces to organize the nodes. Rendered in SVG, the graphic provides an exploratory view of political social connections within the assembly.
AI-generated descriptionThis visualisation uses a D3 force simulation to show the mutual follower:following relationships between the Assembly Members in the Welsh Assembly
Twitter relationships were mined on 22/03/2017, and are representative of the follow/following relationships on that date. Links between AMs represent a mutual relationship: both AMs follow each other.
Hover over the nodes to fade out non-connected nodes.
Rather than using intermediate nodes to create curved links (as in Mike Bostock's block), this adds curves by adding a calculated control point for each edge
