A randomly generated tree of 1,000 nodes is laid out using D3’s `d3.forceSimulation` with charge, link, and centering forces, and rendered on a Canvas 2D context. The links connect each node to its parent based on a square-root index mapping. The code includes drag interaction via `d3.drag`, allowing users to pin and move nodes. The visualization updates on each simulation tick, redrawing nodes as small circles and links as gray lines on a 960×960 canvas.

Force-Directed Tree

A force-directed tree renders 1,000 procedurally generated nodes connected in a hierarchical link pattern, with a force simulation continuously repositioning them. The code uses `d3.forceSimulation` with charge, link, x, and y forces to drive the layout, while drawing to a Canvas 2D context. Nodes appear as small filled circles, and links are stroked lines in gray, with the entire scene offset to the canvas center. Interactive dragging is enabled via `d3.drag`, letting users pull any node and observe the layout rebalance in real time.

Force Directed Tree

A force-directed tree layout visualizes 500 nodes connected by links, simulating a branching hierarchy where linked nodes cluster while unlinked nodes repel. The nodes are drawn as red-stroked dots on a gray canvas, and users can drag any node to interactively disturb and rebalance the layout. Built with D3 v4, the example uses `d3.forceSimulation` with many-body charging, link constraints, and X/Y centering forces, rendered via Canvas 2D drawing. The data is procedurally generated with `d3.range`, creating a binary-tree-like link structure where each node connects to its square-root index parent. Drag interactions are handled through D3's drag module, updating fixed positions during the simulation.

D3 Force Simulation

A force-directed network of 100 nodes and 300 randomly generated links settles into a stable layout under a centering force, many-body repulsion, link distance constraints, and collision avoidance. The visualization uses D3 v4's `d3.forceSimulation` with `d3.forceCenter`, `d3.forceManyBody`, `d3.forceLink`, and `d3.forceCollide` to animate the physics, while nodes are draggable via D3's drag interaction. The simulation updates an SVG canvas on each tick, redrawing lines and circles as positions change. The random data is generated programmatically, creating an abstract, interactive demonstration of force-based layout.

D3 Force Simulation

This example shows a force-directed network layout of 100 nodes and 300 randomly generated links, rendered as circles and lines in an SVG canvas. The visualization uses `d3.forceSimulation` with three forces: `d3.forceCenter` to pull nodes toward the middle, `d3.forceManyBody` with negative strength for repulsion, and `d3.forceLink` to maintain a 50-pixel link distance. The simulation runs continuously via a `tick` event, updating node positions and link coordinates each frame. Nodes are interactive through `d3.drag()`, allowing users to manually reposition them while the simulation responds.

D3 Force Simulation

A force-directed network visualization shows 100 nodes and 300 random links in a 400-by-400 SVG canvas. The layout uses D3 v4’s `d3.forceSimulation` with `forceCenter`, `forceManyBody`, `forceLink`, and `forceCollide` to position and repel elements. Nodes render as steelblue circles, links as gray lines, and drag behavior lets users reposition nodes through `d3.drag`. The simulation updates node and link coordinates on every tick via the `ticked` function.

Force-Directed Tree

A force-directed tree visualizes a small hierarchical dataset of D3 module names as circles connected by lines. The graph is loaded from a local `graph.json` file containing nodes and links, and rendered to SVG using D3 v3’s `d3.layout.force` with a negative charge and link distance. During each tick, source nodes are pushed upward and target nodes downward to create a weak tree structure, while node colors come from a categorical `d3.scale.category20` fill. Circle radii are fixed, and strokes use a darker shade of the same fill.

D3 Force Simulation

A network of 100 circles and 300 random links forms a force-directed layout rendered as SVG. The example uses d3.forceSimulation with center, charge, collide, and link forces to position nodes dynamically. Each circle is a node, and lines represent links, with node age assigned randomly but not visually encoded. The simulation updates positions on each tick, and drag behavior is referenced from Mike Bostock’s block, though not implemented here. Node and link data are generated randomly, and the viewport is fixed at 800 by 400 pixels.

D3 Force Simulation

A force-directed layout simulates a network of 100 nodes and 300 random links inside a 400-by-400 SVG canvas. The graph uses d3.forceSimulation with center, many-body charge, and link forces to position nodes, while d3.drag enables interactive node dragging. The tick event updates line and circle positions, rendering steelblue nodes connected by semi-transparent gray links.
