This example shows a force-directed network graph with ten nodes and thirteen edges, where each edge carries a label that automatically flips to remain readable. The graph uses the D3.js v3 `d3.layout.force` for physics simulation and renders all elements onto a Canvas via its 2D context (`getContext('2d')`). Edge paths are drawn as invisible paths that host SVG `<textPath>` elements, which are rotated 180 degrees when the target node is left of the source. Node labels and arrowheads are also included, with the simulation updating positions on each tick.

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 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.

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 Layout with multiple labelled edges between nodes

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.

Force based label placement

Two force-directed layouts run simultaneously: one positions graph nodes and edges from randomly generated links, while a second governs label anchors that orbit each node at a fixed distance and repel one another to prevent overlap. Labels on the right align left, labels on the left align right, with interpolation in between. The code uses d3.layout.force for both simulations, d3.select, SVG text bounding boxes via getBBox, and manual transform updates on each tick.

D3 Force-Directed Graph

This example demonstrates a force-directed network layout, visualizing a small set of nodes and their connections with interactive dragging. The graph dynamically arranges connected circles using a physics simulation, cleanly separating linked nodes while repelling them from one another. The visualization is built with D3 v7, using `d3.forceSimulation` together with its `forceLink`, `forceManyBody`, and `forceCenter` components. The SVG output renders nodes as circles with labels and edges as straight lines, with positions updated on each simulation tick. The code also includes a guard that filters out any edges referencing non-existent nodes, ensuring the structure remains valid.

Directional Force Layout Diagram with Node Highlighting

This interactive force-directed network diagram displays the relationships between named characters, with arrows indicating direction and thickness conveying connection strength. Clicking a node highlights it by enlarging its circle and changing its label’s color, size, and position; double-clicking resets the node to its default styling. Built with D3.js 3.5.17, it uses `d3.layout.force` for physics-based simulation, SVG elements for rendering, and transitions on `attr` and `style` properties to animate the highlight and reset effects. The input data is loaded from a CSV file containing source, target, and value columns for each edge.

D3 Force Simulation

This example demonstrates a force-directed graph layout of 100 unlabeled nodes connected by 300 random links. The visualization shows how the network stabilizes over time as the D3 force simulation distributes nodes across a 400×400 SVG canvas. Using d3.forceSimulation, it applies d3.forceCenter to center the layout, d3.forceManyBody with weak negative charge to repel nodes, and d3.forceLink with a fixed distance to maintain edge lengths. Circles and lines are rendered as SVG elements, with positions updated on each tick event.
