A force-directed layout arranges a small tree of nodes and links in a web page, with nodes as circles and links as gray lines. The graph data comes from a `graph.json` file, and the visualization uses the D3.js libraries `d3.layout.force` and `d3.scale.category20` to compute and render the positions. During the simulation, a weak tree force pushes source nodes upward and target nodes downward, while the layout engine handles charge and link distance to spread the network.

How to D3 Force Directed Layout Graph

This example demonstrates a force-directed layout graph using D3.js (v5). Nodes and links are rendered as SVG elements, with the graph's structure implied by the bundled JavaScript. The code uses D3’s built-in force simulation (d3.forceSimulation) to position the connected nodes naturally, while the stylesheet defines the visual appearance of the nodes as grey circles and the links as grey lines. The data is not explicitly shown, but the layout emerges from the simulated forces between connected nodes.

D3 force layout

A force-directed graph layout shows a network of 26 named nodes connected by 11 links, with each node displayed as a GitHub favicon icon and a text label. The visualization uses D3 v3’s `d3.layout.force` to simulate physical forces with zero gravity, a charge of -2, and a link distance of 100, while the simulation updates node positions and link coordinates on each tick event. Data is loaded from a local `graph.json` file containing node groups and link betweenness values, and the SVG rendering includes draggable nodes and grey lines for links.

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.

Resizable Force Layout

A force-directed graph displays a network of nodes and links that automatically reflows when the browser window changes size. The visualization uses D3 v3's `d3.layout.force` to simulate physical forces on the nodes, while a `resize` event handler updates the SVG dimensions and calls `force.size` and `force.resume` to re-optimize the layout. Nodes and links are rendered as SVG circles and lines, with the graph structure loaded from a local `graph.json` file—a collection of 250 interconnected nodes with circular link patterns.

Force-Directed Tree

The visualization shows a small, hierarchical set of d3 software components arranged as a force-directed tree. Nodes and links are rendered as SVG circles and lines using D3’s force layout, with a weak vertical push that separates parent nodes from their children to suggest a tree structure. The example uses `d3.layout.force` with charge and link distance parameters, and updates node positions on each tick with `force.on("tick", tick)`. Node colors come from a categorical scale, and the data is loaded from an external JSON file containing nodes and links.

Force-directed Layout

This example shows a force-directed network layout of a graph dataset from the Network Data Repository. Nodes appear as orange circles, with gray links connecting them; hovering over a node displays its ID in a tooltip. The visualization uses D3.js v6 with `d3.forceSimulation`, `d3.forceLink`, and `d3.forceManyBody` to compute node positions, while `d3.drag` enables interactive node repositioning. Data is loaded from a CSV file, and the SVG rendering updates continuously during simulation ticks, with node colors assigned via `d3.scaleOrdinal`.

D3 v4 - force layout

This example shows a force-directed graph with 100 randomly generated nodes and links, rendered as SVG circles and lines. The code builds the network using `d3.forceSimulation` with forces for link distance, collision, charge, centering, and X/Y positioning, then updates node and link positions on each tick. Nodes are draggable via `d3.drag`, and drag events adjust the simulation’s alpha target to restart or settle movement. The data is synthesized in the script, and the visualization initializes from a blockbuilder.org fork.

Static Force Layout

A static force-directed graph layout renders 100 linked nodes as circles and lines in SVG, computed with d3.forceSimulation, d3.forceManyBody, d3.forceLink, d3.forceX, and d3.forceY. The simulation is stopped and looped through a fixed number of ticks before drawing the final positions, avoiding incremental updates. A brief loading text appears while the layout computes asynchronously via d3.timeout.
