This example implements a force-directed graph layout for a user-supplied edge list. Using the p5.js library, it reads node connections from a CSV file and positions the nodes using a classical force-directed algorithm with repulsive forces between all vertex pairs and attractive forces along edges. The simulation iterates repeatedly in the draw loop, with nodes rendered as aqua circles that turn pink and display their ID when hovered; edges are gray lines that thicken and darken when either endpoint is hovered. The layout uses a cooling parameter and randomly initializes node positions before the force calculations stabilize the graph.

Creates a force directed graph with more attractive force

This visualization implements a force-directed graph layout using p5.js, rendering a network of 50 nodes connected by edges from a CSV dataset. The graph algorithm applies repulsive forces between all node pairs and an attractive force proportional to the cube of the distance divided by the spring constant k, creating a notably stronger pull between connected nodes than typical implementations. Nodes are initially placed randomly within a 2000x2000 canvas and gradually settle into a stable arrangement as the algorithm iterates five times per frame. The visualization supports mouse interaction: hovering over a node displays its numeric ID as a tooltip and highlights connected edges in bold black, while inactive edges remain grey. The algorithm uses a custom force-directed layout with attractive forces calculated as x³/k and repulsive forces as k²/x, balanced by the optimal distance constant k derived from the canvas area and vertex count.

Node-Link Graph

A force-directed node-link graph visualizes a network of 200 nodes and over 400 undirected edges derived from a CSV file. The p5.js sketch implements a custom layout simulation, iteratively calculating repulsive forces between all node pairs and attractive forces along edges to position vertices. Nodes are rendered as purple ellipses, edges as black lines, and hovering over a node highlights its adjacent edges in cyan while displaying the node ID. The code uses p5.js functions like `loadTable`, `dist`, and `ellipse` to handle data loading, interaction, and drawing.

Force Layout from Adjacency List

This example demonstrates a force-directed graph layout using data from a JSON adjacency list. Nodes are rendered as circles and edges as lines in an SVG canvas. The layout physics, including collision detection and link constraints, are handled by the `d3.layout.force` API, while node dragging is enabled via `force.drag`. The graph is initialized from the `graph.json` file, which defines connections between 24 numbered nodes, and the simulation updates node and link positions on each tick.

force_directed_no_t

A force-directed graph layout maps each node to a two-dimensional position through simulated physical forces, with edges connecting linked nodes. The graph uses circles and lines to represent nodes and links, with a layout algorithm that iteratively computes positions based on repulsive and attractive forces. The visualization shows 94 nodes and 175 edges, encoded from the 3980.csv dataset, rendered with a muted purple color palette. The author, ByronHan333, has made this example available under the MIT license, and it was sourced from a gist.

Force Layout from CSV

This example shows a small force-directed network graph created from a CSV file, with circles representing nodes and lines representing links. It reads the edge list `graph.csv` and builds a node map from the source and target columns. The layout uses the D3 v3 `d3.layout.force` module, rendering with SVG elements. The code loads the CSV with `d3.csv`, then starts the simulation; on each tick, it updates the `x` and `y` coordinates of the circles and lines. Node dragging is enabled via `force.drag`.

Gist 1b4899c75f0bfa91bbe6865157c3f87f

A force-directed graph places five labeled nodes on a Canvas, with each node’s position set by an explicit `x,y` coordinate pair from a hardcoded dataset rather than computed by simulation. The visualization uses `d3.forceSimulation` to manage node physics while a custom `tick` function redraws the scene via the Canvas 2D API. Edges are omitted, so the example focuses solely on spatial layout and node rendering, with node radii scaled by a fixed value. The data source is a simple inline array, and no interaction or animation beyond the initial layout is implemented.

Force Layout with labels on edges

This example shows a force-directed network graph with ten nodes and thirteen edges, where each edge carries a label that automatically flips to remain readable. The graph uses the D3.js v3 `d3.layout.force` for physics simulation and renders all elements onto a Canvas via its 2D context (`getContext('2d')`). Edge paths are drawn as invisible paths that host SVG `<textPath>` elements, which are rotated 180 degrees when the target node is left of the source. Node labels and arrowheads are also included, with the simulation updating positions on each tick.

force_directed_with_t

This force-directed graph visualizes a network of approximately 200 nodes and their connections, with node coordinates loaded from CSV data and edges defined in a separate file. The visualization uses a physics-based layout where nodes are positioned through simulated forces and rendered as a web of links. The graph is built with the MIT-licensed code by ByronHan333, sourced from a gist, and demonstrates a classic force-directed layout approach where node positions are determined by the balance of attractive and repulsive forces between connected and unconnected nodes.
