A force-directed network layout renders nodes and edges on a canvas with zoom, pan, and drag interactions. The visualization uses `d3.forceSimulation` to position nodes based on charge, link, and centering forces, while `d3.zoom` and `d3.drag` handle transformations and node fixation. Data comes from a local `data.json` file containing node IDs and links. Nodes are drawn as circles, with one node colored red via a custom `col` property, on a black background.

Force layout on canvas with zoom/pan and drag

A black canvas displays a force-directed network of small white nodes with red exceptions, connected by white edges. The example uses D3 v4 and d3-force v1, with d3.forceSimulation managing the layout. Users can pan, zoom, and drag nodes via d3.zoom and d3.drag, with all rendering performed directly on the canvas 2D context. Node positions update on each simulation tick, and the graph is drawn from a local data.json file.

canvas + drag + zoom + fixed nodes

This example shows a force-directed network graph rendered on a canvas, where nodes settle into a fixed layout once the simulation ends. Users can drag individual nodes and zoom or pan the entire visualization with the mouse. The code uses D3 v4’s d3.forceSimulation with charge, link, and centering forces, and handles canvas rendering through the 2D context with transform scaling and translation. Node and edge data are loaded from an external JSON file, with pre-defined edge connections.

Force-Directed Graph with Drag/Zoom/Pan/Center/Resize/Labels/Shapes/Filter/Highlight

This interactive force-directed graph displays network data with draggable nodes, zoom and pan controls, and double-click-to-center functionality. Nodes vary in size, shape, and color based on properties like score and type, with text labels that avoid occlusion. The visualization supports filtering by node shape, score, and link strength, plus hover highlighting of first-order neighborhoods and click-to-fade effects. Built with D3 v3, it uses d3.layout.force for simulation and d3.behavior.zoom, rendering as SVG with data loaded from a JSON file.

zoomable, draggable force layout with labels

This interactive force-directed graph displays ten labeled nodes (A through J) connected by links, with Font Awesome icons as labels overlaid on colored circles. The layout uses D3 v4’s `d3.forceSimulation` for physics-based positioning, combined with `d3.drag` for node dragging and `d3.zoom` for canvas zoom and pan. Node positions are bounded within the SVG viewport, and an HTML slider controller adjusts an external value. The black background, custom fonts, and Bootstrap controls frame the visualization, which reads node and edge data from a local `data.json` file.

Force Layout with Canvas

This example shows a force-directed graph rendered on a canvas element instead of in SVG, using d3.layout.force to compute the layout and the Canvas 2D API’s `getContext` and `arc` for drawing. The graph loads node and link data from a local `graph.json` file, with nodes drawn as steelblue circles and links as gray lines. The simulation runs continuously, updating the canvas on each tick event by clearing the frame and redrawing the nodes and links. Unlike the SVG version, nodes are not draggable, but the canvas approach offers modest performance improvements.

Network Force Layout

A network force layout visualizes relationships in a sample dataset through an interactive SVG graph. Nodes appear as distinct geometric symbols (circles, diamonds, triangles) colored steelblue, connected by thin gray links on a white canvas. The D3 v3 layout positions elements using `d3.layout.force` with configurable link distance and charge, while pan-and-zoom via `d3.behavior.zoom` enables exploration. The interface offers client-side download buttons for saving the visualization as SVG or PNG, with data and chart options supplied externally via JSON.

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 Graph

This visualization presents a network of interconnected nodes, with each node colored by its assigned group and links showing the connections between them. It combines a force-directed node-link diagram with an adjacency matrix display, revealing both the spatial clustering of relationships and the overall network structure. The force layout is built with `d3.forceSimulation`, including `d3.forceLink` and `d3.forceManyBody`, while user interactions like node dragging, zooming, and hover effects are handled through D3’s drag and zoom APIs. The adjacency matrix uses `d3.scaleBand` axes to map node IDs, and both SVG canvases render the data with animation driven by the simulation tick events.
