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.

AI-generated description

This simple force-directed graph shows character co-occurence in Les Misérables. A physical simulation of charged particles and springs places related characters in closer proximity, while unrelated characters are farther apart. Layout algorithm inspired by Tim Dwyer and Thomas Jakobsen. Data based on character coappearence in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, compiled by Donald Knuth.

Compare this display to a force layout with curved links, a force layout with fisheye distortion and a matrix diagram.

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.

Force-Directed Graph

This force-directed graph visualizes character co-occurrence in Les Misérables, grouping related characters into proximity while separating unrelated ones. Drawn as SVG circles and lines, nodes are colored by group and links weighted by interaction frequency. The data, compiled by Donald Knuth and stored in `miserables.json`, drives a `d3.forceSimulation` with link, charge, and center forces. Interactive dragging is enabled via `d3.drag`, while node positions update on each simulation tick.

Force-Directed Graph

This force-directed graph visualizes character co-occurrence in *Les Misérables*, with related characters drawn closer together through a physical simulation of charged particles and springs. Nodes are colored by group and links are weighted by co-occurrence frequency. The implementation uses D3 v4’s `d3.forceSimulation`, `d3.forceLink`, `d3.forceManyBody`, and `d3.forceCenter` to compute positions, rendered as SVG lines and circles with drag interaction. Data is from Donald Knuth’s character co-appearance compilation.

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

This force-directed graph visualizes character co-occurrence in Victor Hugo’s *Les Misérables*, using a physical simulation to place related characters closer together and unrelated ones farther apart. The code employs D3 v4’s `d3.forceSimulation` with link, charge, and centering forces, rendering nodes as SVG circles colored by group via `d3.scaleOrdinal` and edges as lines. Data comes from a JSON file (initially compiled by Donald Knuth), and the graph is interactive, allowing nodes to be dragged and repositioned.

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.

Force-Directed Graph

This interactive force-directed graph maps character co-occurrence in *Les Misérables*, using a physics simulation of charged particles and springs to position related characters closer together. The SVG rendering relies on `d3.forceSimulation` with `d3.forceLink`, `d3.forceManyBody`, and `d3.forceCenter` forces, while `d3.drag` enables nodes to be pulled and released. An outer pie chart (`d3.pie`, `d3.arc`) encodes character groups around the layout. Data derives from Donald Knuth’s Stanford GraphBase compilation of Hugo’s novel.
