This interactive force-directed graph of the character co-occurrence network in Victor Hugo’s *Les Misérables* demonstrates applying d3-drag to d3-force in a canvas-rendered visualization. Nodes are colored by group and connected by weighted links. When the user clicks and drags a node, it becomes fixed to the pointer via the simulation’s fx/fy properties, and the simulation is temporarily heated by raising alphaTarget to 0.3, causing the network to rearrange more actively; releasing the node restores alphaTarget to 0. The drag subject is found by querying the simulation at the pointer position, and the graph animates continuously on a tick event, clearing and redrawing the canvas. This example is a canvas-based variant of the original SVG version.
