This interactive visualization presents the character co-occurrence network from *Les Misérables* as a force-directed graph. Users toggle between the physics-based layout and an arranged circle formation. The D3.js v3 code uses `d3.layout.force` for the initial graph and applies a one-second transition via `transition().duration(1000)` to animate nodes and links into circular positions. The example is a fork of a gist by bricof, based on Mike Bostock's original force-directed graph example.

AI-generated description

Based on Mike Bostock's force-directed graph example showing character co-occurence in Les Misérables, this gist shows how to toggle between the animated force-directed graph and a circle formation akin to a chord diagram.

Force-Directed Layout

This example visualizes the character co-occurrence network from *Les Misérables* using a force-directed layout with animated node and link appearance. Nodes fade in sequentially, and links become visible only after both connected nodes have appeared. The code uses D3’s `d3.layout.force` for physics simulation and SVG circles and lines for rendering, with chained `transition()` calls and `delay` timing to stagger the entrance. Node color encodes group membership via `d3.scale.category20`, while link thickness reflects the edge value.

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.

Bounded Force Layout

The visualization shows a bounded force-directed graph of the character co-occurrence network from *Les Misérables*, with nodes restricted to stay within the rectangular SVG canvas. The code leverages the custom `d3.layout.force` API from D3 v3 to simulate the physics, while the `tick` callback clamps each node's `cx` and `cy` attributes to the range `[radius, width - radius]` and `[radius, height - radius]`. The graph reads from a `graph.json` file, and the force simulation is driven by `force.drag` for user interaction.

Force-Directed Graph V3

This example shows a force-directed network graph of character interactions from the novel Les Misérables. The visualization displays nodes as unlabeled circles and links as straight lines, with the layout computed dynamically through a physics simulation. Using D3 v6 within a React framework, the code applies `d3.forceSimulation` with `forceManyBody`, `forceLink`, and `forceCenter` to position the 17 nodes and 14 links. The SVG elements update their coordinates on each simulation tick, though the data only includes a subset of the full character relationships.

Force-Directed Graph

A force-directed graph visualizes character co-occurrence in *Les Misérables*, with nodes positioned so related characters cluster together. The simulation uses d3.forceSimulation with link, charge, and center forces, while nodes are draggable circles colored by cluster and links are lines with stroke-width scaled by co-occurrence value. The code loads data from a JSON file and renders everything as SVG.

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

This example shows a force-directed graph of character co-occurrence data from Les Misérables, rendered as an interactive SVG animation. It uses d3.forceSimulation to position nodes and links, with draggable circles representing characters and colored convex hulls drawn around groups of three or more nodes sharing the same group attribute. The hulls are generated using d3.polygonHull and closed curves, with a dropdown to switch between curveBasisClosed, curveCardinalClosed, curveCatmullRomClosed, and curveLinearClosed. The visualization is built with D3 v4 and React, loading graph data from a JSON file.

Force-Directed Graph

This force-directed graph visualizes character co-occurrence in *Les Misérables*, with nodes representing characters and links indicating shared appearances. The layout uses D3 v4’s `d3.forceSimulation` and `d3.forceLink`, though the standard simulation is commented out, leaving nodes positioned randomly via `Math.random` while links are drawn with calculated coordinates. Node color encodes group membership via `d3.scaleOrdinal` and `d3.schemeCategory20`, and drag interactions are enabled with `d3.drag`. The data is compiled by Donald Knuth and rendered as SVG.
