This example shows a force-directed graph of character co-occurrences in *Les Misérables*, with character names displayed directly beside each node. The visualization uses D3.js v4’s force simulation to position nodes and links, grouping SVG circles and text labels inside `<g>` elements so names travel with their nodes during drag and layout. Node colors encode character group membership, while link thickness reflects the strength of co-occurrence. The graph is interactive—nodes can be dragged, and the simulation restarts on interaction—and is rendered entirely in SVG with a clean, minimal style.

AI-generated description

A quick adaptation of Mike Bostock's force-directed graph showing character co-occurence in Les Misérables. In this version, the character names are displayed. This is accomplished by wrapping both circles and text svg components within a group svg component.

Compare to the original diagram by Mike Bostock.

D3.js v4 Force Directed Graph with Labels

This example shows a force-directed graph of character co-occurrence in *Les Misérables*, with each character’s name displayed beside its node. It adapts Mike Bostock’s original diagram by wrapping each circle and its text label in a `<g>` element, enabling labels to move with nodes during interaction. The visualization uses D3.js v4’s `d3.forceSimulation`, `d3.forceLink`, `d3.forceManyBody`, and `d3.forceCenter` to compute layout, and renders with SVG. Nodes are color-coded by group using `d3.scaleOrdinal` and `d3.schemeCategory20`, with data loaded from a `miserables.json` file.

D3.js v4 Force Directed Graph with Labels

This force-directed graph visualizes character co-occurrence in *Les Misérables*, adapted from Mike Bostock’s original with added permanent labels. Each character is represented by a circle colored by group via an ordinal scale, and a text label is placed beside it by grouping both elements inside a shared SVG `<g>` container. Node positions are computed with D3 v4’s force simulation, including link, charge, and centering forces, with drag behavior to reposition nodes. Edge thickness encodes co-occurrence strength, and labels update in place as the simulation runs, making the network easier to explore than the unlabeled original.

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.

29.Force-Directed Graph

This example shows a force-directed graph of character co-appearances in *Les Misérables*, with nodes colored by group membership and link thickness scaled by interaction weight. Using D3 v4, it loads data from `miserables.json` and runs a `d3.forceSimulation` with `d3.forceLink`, `d3.forceManyBody`, and `d3.forceCenter` to compute positions. Nodes and links render as SVG circles and lines, and the visible `ticked` function updates their coordinates. The code also wires up `d3.drag` handlers to let viewers reposition nodes.

Force Directed Graph

A force-directed graph displays character relationships from Les Misérables, with nodes colored by group affiliation and labeled with character names. The visualization uses d3.forceSimulation to position nodes and links, while a secondary label simulation keeps text labels readable. Hovering highlights a node's immediate neighbors by adjusting opacity. The SVG rendering includes zoom and drag interactions, and the data comes from the bundled data.json file.

Untitled

This example visualizes the character co-occurrence network from *Les Misérables* as a force-directed graph. Nodes represent characters, colored by group, with links sized by interaction weight. The visualization uses D3 v4’s `d3.forceSimulation` with link, charge, and center forces to position elements, while SVG circles and text render the nodes and labels. Data loads from a local `miserables.json` file, and nodes support dragging via `d3.drag`.

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 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.
