A group-in-a-box layout visualizes interactions between characters in Les Misérables, grouping nodes by their community (detected via Louvain modularity) inside rectangular cells. Within each group, a force-directed simulation positions nodes, while links show both intra- and inter-cluster connections. The code uses D3 v4’s `d3.forceSimulation` with `d3.forceLink`, `d3.forceManyBody`, `d3.forceCenter`, and a custom `forceInABox` force that moves nodes toward foci computed from a treemap layout. Data is loaded from `jean.json` and rendered as SVG circles and lines.

AI-generated description

A group-in-a-box layout showing interactions between Les Miserables characters, where the characters are grouped by their communities (determined using the Louvain modularity community detection algorithm). Within each group, nodes are positioned using a force-directed layout.

In contrast with a pure force-directed layout, group-in-a-box layouts can clearly show connections within and between clusters. Matrix diagrams can also be used for this purpose, but group-in-a-box can be more effective for showing connections within and between categories of nodes that do not form clear clusters.

Grouped Force Layout

This visualization uses a grouped force layout to cluster the character network from *Les Misérables* by community. Draggable nodes are colored by group, with links showing connections, while a Voronoi overlay dynamically partitions the space to visually reinforce each cluster’s territory. The simulation runs on `d3.forceSimulation` with link and charge forces, and custom logic on each tick adjusts node positions toward their group’s centroid. The Voronoi cells, rendered as SVG paths via `d3.voronoi`, update continuously as the layout settles or as users drag nodes.

Force-Directed Graph

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.

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 *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.

Bounded Force Layout

This example demonstrates a force-directed graph constrained within a fixed rectangular boundary. It visualizes character relationships from *Les Misérables*, with nodes colored by group and connected by gray links. The simulation uses the `d3.layout.force` API, and during each tick event, node positions are clamped so their centers remain within the SVG canvas bounds, accounting for a fixed radius. The graph is rendered as SVG circles and lines, with data loaded from a JSON file.

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 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 Layout

This example visualizes the character co-occurrence network from *Les Misérables* using a force-directed layout with animated node and link appearance. Nodes fade in sequentially, and links become visible only after both connected nodes have appeared. The code uses D3’s `d3.layout.force` for physics simulation and SVG circles and lines for rendering, with chained `transition()` calls and `delay` timing to stagger the entrance. Node color encodes group membership via `d3.scale.category20`, while link thickness reflects the edge value.
