A force-directed graph visualization renders abstract knot structures from Gauss codes, which encode crossings as sequences of signed numbers. The example generates a random code of length 2n and draws the resulting knot as a network of circular nodes and elliptical link paths. Each crossing appears as two connected ports, with dashed segments marking knot skeletons. The visualization uses D3 v4's `d3.forceSimulation` with link, charge, and positioning forces, while nodes are draggable and recompute their layout continuously. The SVG output shows the evolving knot structure as the simulation runs.

knots from gauss codes - stable branch

This interactive knot visualization generates random Gauss codes from four crossings and renders them as dynamic force-directed diagrams using D3 v4. Users can click translucent overlay circles to cycle each crossing through over, under, vertical, and horizontal smoothing states, which updates the link topology in real time. The SVG output combines thick colored paths representing knot strands with dashed helper lines, while `d3.forceSimulation` with x, y, and charge forces arranges the port nodes. Circle fill colors distinguish crossing types, and drag interactions let viewers manually reposition all elements.

Gist 97384

This example visualizes a force-directed network graph where nodes and links are rendered as animated dots and lines. It uses d3.forceSimulation to compute node positions and d3.line to draw the connections, with the entire scene updated on each simulation tick. The code pulls node coordinates from the simulation and redraws SVG elements, showing how real-time physics-based layout can be paired with D3’s data-binding for interactive node-link diagrams.

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

This example shows a static scatterplot-style network diagram of 100 randomly generated nodes and links, rendered as steelblue circles on an SVG canvas. The code defines node positions and link endpoints using `d3.range` and `Math.random`, then appends circles via `svg.selectAll(".node").data().enter()`. Although the title suggests a force simulation, the visible code does not invoke `d3.forceSimulation`, leaving the layout fixed; the example relies on D3 v4 for data binding and SVG element creation.

Gist 3e83522b4fd1d103c56977dac9442a3e

This example visualizes a force-directed network graph, showing nodes and edges arranged in a cluster layout. It uses D3’s `d3.forceSimulation` to compute node positions and `d3.forceLink` for edge constraints, rendering the result as an SVG. The graph data is generated locally in the code via a helper function that builds node and link arrays, with node colors reflecting a categorical scale. The visualization updates positions on each simulation tick, producing an interactive, animated network layout.

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.

This visualization uses a physics-based simulation to cluster and connect nodes in a network. It shows a dynamic system of points that repel each other while links pull them together, creating an organic, ever-shifting layout. The code leverages d3.forceSimulation to model the forces and d3.geoPath for rendering the curved edges. Built on a gist of public data, the example demonstrates real-time interaction with the simulation, offering a clear view of how force-directed algorithms explore spatial arrangements.

D3 Force Simulation

This example shows a force-directed layout with 100 randomly connected nodes rendered as steelblue circles on an SVG canvas. The code creates nodes and links with random positions and connections using `d3.range` and `Math.random`. It uses `d3.select` to bind data and append circle elements with `attr` calls for positioning and styling. However, the simulation itself is not implemented—no `d3.forceSimulation` is invoked, so the graph remains static rather than animated. The visualization relies on D3 v4 and renders entirely via SVG.
