Circular bounds
A force-directed network of 80 circular nodes is confined within a circular boundary. Each node has a random radius and is subject to repulsive charge and gravity forces. The visualization calculates the maximum and minimum x-coordinate for a given y-coordinate within the circle, and vice versa, to keep nodes inside the circular pool. This example uses `d3.layout.force()` and follows a variation of Mike Bostock's bounded force layout, adapting its rectangular bounds to circular ones. The SVG rendering includes a styled pool circle and nodes with a light fill.
