This example shows a force-directed graph with multiple labeled edges between nodes, where each edge carries a distinct text label. The visualization uses D3 v3’s `d3.layout.force` to position three nodes, while custom functions `countSiblingLinks` and `getSiblingLinks` detect parallel links between the same source and target. The `arcPath` function draws curved paths for each sibling edge, and invisible paths with text elements display the labels along the curves. Data comes from a hardcoded set of edges containing lyrical phrases.

AI-generated description

The multiple edge functionality comes from the function arcPath, which draws on countSiblingLinks & getSiblingLinks.

Force Layout with labels on edges

This example shows a force-directed graph where nodes are labeled and every edge carries a text label that follows the link’s path, with arrowheads marking direction. The visualization relies on d3.v3’s `d3.layout.force` to position nodes and update links on each tick. Edge labels are rendered by appending `<textPath>` elements to hidden `<path>` elements, which reference the edge’s ID, allowing the label to orient automatically along the line. Node positions, edge coordinates, and label locations are all updated in the force’s tick handler, and data is pulled from a hardcoded JavaScript array.

Force Directed Graph with markers and selectable links

This example demonstrates a force-directed graph where multiple links between the same pair of nodes are visually distinguished using colored strokes and arrowhead markers indicating direction. The graph uses `d3.forceSimulation` to position nodes and `d3.forceLink` to manage connections, with selectable links rendered as SVG paths that trigger click events. Node data and link descriptions come from JSON files, and labels are positioned along curved edge paths using `textPath` elements.

Edge labeling

This example demonstrates edge labeling in a network visualization built with D3 v6, showing nodes connected by curved vertical paths with labels that orient along link direction. The code defines a network of server and device nodes with fixed coordinates, rendered as SVG elements using custom icon glyphs from Font Awesome. Links are drawn with `d3.linkVertical()` paths and labeled dynamically based on connection type, with forces applied via `forceStrength` and `linkStrength` constants to adjust layout. The visualization includes tooltips on hover and highlights forward versus reverse traffic flow between nodes.

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.

ForceDirectedGraph

This example visualizes a small directed graph with six interlinked nodes and weighted edges, rendering nodes as colored circles with labels and links as lines whose thickness reflects edge weight. The visualization uses D3.js v3’s force layout (`d3.layout.force`) to position nodes, with link distance driven by edge weight and a collision detection function to prevent overlap. Node colors, sizes, and stroke styles come from the dataset, while hover titles expose metadata. The SVG is created and updated on each force tick, and edges optionally display arrow markers for directionality when configured.

Force Layout with labels on edges

A force-directed graph displays 88 numbered nodes connected by links, with each edge labeled by a numeric value. The visualization uses d3.forceSimulation to compute node positions and render SVG elements, while React manages the component structure and lifecycle. Edge labels are positioned at the midpoint of each link, updating continuously as the simulation runs and nodes shift positions. The example demonstrates combining D3's layout algorithms with React's declarative rendering for dynamic network visualization.

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.

Force Directed Graph with markers and selectable links

An interactive force-directed graph visualizes connections between entities, where multiple links between the same pair of nodes are collapsed into a single red edge labeled with a count. SVG paths with arrowhead markers indicate link direction, and selectable edge labels and circles reveal metadata. The visualization uses d3.forceSimulation for layout, d3.json to load node and link data from bulkdata.json, and d3.forceLink to manage edge distances.
