Five hundred colored circles cluster in a cloud, then slowly diffuse outward as a force simulation seeks lower-density regions. The visualization uses custom forces within d3.forceSimulation, including a grid force and a hexbin-based expand force that samples random hexagon rotations and pushes nodes toward emptier neighboring bins. Rendered on Canvas, the circles respond to mouse movement, with the first node pinned to the cursor and the simulation restarting on interaction. The code employs d3.hexbin to compute density weights and d3.forceCollide to prevent overlaps.

Force move 400 dots in 10 buildings

Four hundred colored dots, each assigned to one of ten randomly placed building centers, are drawn on a Canvas as they converge into ten distinct clusters. A custom force named `shape` pulls each node toward its building’s center, while `d3.forceCollide` keeps the circles from overlapping. The simulation runs via `d3.forceSimulation`, with each tick redrawing the canvas using `fillStyle` and `arc` calls. The color scale `d3.scaleOrdinal` with `schemeCategory10` distinguishes the groups by building.

d3-force-cluster and d3-force-attract

Two hundred circles, shaded by cluster with a sequential rainbow scale, are positioned by a force simulation that combines `d3.forceAttract` to pull nodes toward the screen center and `d3.forceCluster` to group them into ten distinct clusters. The layout uses `d3.forceSimulation` with a custom `d3.forceCollide` whose strength ramps up over three seconds for a smooth transition. Each node is an SVG circle, rendered with `d3.drag` for interactive repositioning, while the tick handler updates the `cx`, `cy`, and `r` attributes. The data is generated randomly, with radii varying by cluster, and the example runs in the browser using D3 v4 and the `d3-force-attract` and `d3-force-cluster` plugins.

Collision Detection

A thousand circles of random radii are arranged into a tidy cluster, with d3.forceCollide preventing any overlap between them while d3.forceX and d3.forceY gently pull the whole group toward the center. The simulation runs on a fixed 960×960 canvas, where each tick clears the drawing and renders all circles as filled and stroked arcs. The code uses d3.forceSimulation with a velocity decay of 0.2, and draws the result directly via the Canvas 2D API.

Custom Force Manipulation

This example demonstrates a custom force-directed simulation where 250 nodes, grouped into five color-coded types, repel each other and are pulled toward the center while colliding and settling into a stable clustered layout. Using d3.forceSimulation with configurable forces for charge, x/y centering, and collision, the nodes animate in SVG as the simulation ticks. The rendering includes touch interaction support, allowing users to place temporary circular touch zones on the canvas that subtly pull nearby nodes toward them through the tick handler’s custom logic.

Dots

A force-directed simulation scatters and repels 300 small circles within a square field, with each new dot entering at the center and easing outward through an animated radius transition. The code uses the `d3.layout.force` API for physics, appends `circle` elements to an SVG canvas, and triggers a `transition` with a `Math.sqrt` easing function. Data points are generated procedurally with random offsets, and the simulation stops once the node count exceeds 300.

D3 Force Simulation

This example displays a static force-directed network of 100 circles and 100 randomly generated links on an SVG canvas, using D3 v4. Nodes are positioned randomly and rendered as steelblue circles, while links are implied but never drawn, so the visualization focuses solely on node placement. The code prepares data structures for a force simulation but does not call d3.forceSimulation, leaving the layout in its initial random state.

Clustered Force Layout II

Ten clusters of colored circles drift and separate on a dark background, with each cluster gathering around its largest member while circles avoid overlapping. The visualization uses d3.layout.force with custom cluster and collide forces, leveraging d3.geom.quadtree for collision detection and d3.scale.category10 for colors. Data is procedurally generated in the browser, with 200 circles of varying radii across 10 groups, rendered as SVG elements.

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.
