Seven dark circles all start at the vertical center of a small SVG canvas. A custom force function pins each circle’s x-coordinate to the middle of the frame while clamping its y-coordinate within the bounds. The d3.forceSimulation API applies a repulsive `forceManyBody` force, causing the dots to spread vertically into a column. After 100 ticks, a second set of red circles is drawn over the final positions, showing the result with faint overlaps.

force sim. along one axis w. bounds

Two side-by-side groups of seven circles demonstrate a one-dimensional force simulation. Black circles show the initial positions, while red circles show results after 100 ticks of a d3.forceSimulation with a d3.forceManyBody repulsion. A custom box_force constrains vertical movement to the SVG bounds while holding the x-coordinate centered. The simulation runs synchronously without animation, and each circle has a radius of 20 pixels, rendered as SVG elements in a 300x350 viewport.

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.

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.

overlapping circles

Four orange circles and one steel-blue circle overlap at the center of an SVG canvas. The visualization demonstrates grouping and repositioning: the four identical orange circles are detected as an overlapping cluster and spread horizontally above the original join point, connected by black lines. The lone steel-blue circle remains in place. Built with D3 v4, the code uses SVG circle elements and manual selection via `d3.selectAll`, with grouping logic based on matching `cx` and `cy` attributes.

Untitled

This example shows a single red circle moving erratically across an SVG canvas under the influence of a force simulation. The circle’s position updates on every tick of a d3.forceSimulation, with the code reassigning new random forceX and forceY forces relative to the node’s current location. After the first tick, the initial center force is removed, leaving only these randomized forces to drive the motion. The visualization uses d3.v4 and SVG circle elements, with the simulation’s tick handler directly setting the circle’s cx and cy attributes.

fresh block

A small force-directed simulation places three colored circles, representing nodes, in a 500-by-500 SVG canvas. The code uses `d3.forceSimulation` with `d3.forceManyBody`, `d3.forceX`, and `d3.forceY` to animate node positions, while a `tick` handler updates the circles' `cx` and `cy` attributes. The simulation restarts at timed intervals, first removing a node from the data array, then re-adding it, and finally pushing a new node, demonstrating how the layout adjusts to dynamic data changes.

Expand and fill force (work in progress)

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.

Multi-Foci Force Layout

A stream of circles enters the scene at regular intervals, each assigned one of three focal points. The circles gravitate toward their assigned focus, creating three distinct clusters that shift as new nodes are added and older ones settle. Using D3 v3’s `d3.layout.force`, the example overrides the default tick handler to manually steer each node toward its focus, with the simulation’s alpha value controlling the easing. The SVG circles are colored via a categorical scale based on their focal point ID, and the animation runs indefinitely via `setInterval`.
