I'm new to d3 and want to connect nodes using elbows. Searching online I found one solution similar to what is required Similar solution however this solution does not work for d3 v4+.
Additionally, I have found a viable approach from d3 named d3.line().curve(d3.curveStepAfter) (I'm not sure if this is the correct use) an example can be seen here. However I can not find a way to implement this for my current set-up which uses x1, y1, and x2, y2.
Data
var data = {
"nodes": [
{
"name": "Node 1",
fx: 50,
fy: 50
},
{
"name": "Node 2",
fx: 50,
fy: 100
},
{
"name": "Node 3",
fx: 200,
fy: 50
},
{
"name": "Node 4",
fx: 350,
fy: 50
},
{
"name": "Node 5",
fx: 200,
fy: 150
}].map(function(d, i) { return (d.fixed = true, d) }),
"links": [
{
"source": 0,
"target": 2
},
{
"source": 1,
"target": 2
},
{
"source": 2,
"target": 3
},
{
"source": 2,
"target": 4
}]
}
Code
var width = 560
var height = 500;
var svg = d3.select("body")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);
var force = self.force = d3.forceSimulation(data.nodes)
.force("link", d3.forceLink(data.links))
.force("collide", d3.forceCollide())
.force("center", d3.forceCenter(width / 2, height / 2))
.on("tick", ticked);
var link = svg.selectAll("line.link")
.data(data.links)
.enter()
.append("line")
.style("stroke", "black")
.attr("x1", function (d) { return d.source.x; })
.attr("y1", function (d) { return d.source.y; })
.attr("x2", function (d) { return d.target.x; })
.attr("y2", function (d) { return d.target.y; })
var node = svg.selectAll("g.node")
.data(data.nodes)
.enter()
.append("g")
.attr("class", "node")
.call(d3.drag()
.on("start", dragstarted)
.on("drag", dragged)
.on("end", dragended));
d3.selectAll(".node")
.append("circle")
.style("fill", "red")
.attr("r", 15);
function ticked() {
link
.attr("x1", function (d) { return d.source.x; })
.attr("y1", function (d) { return d.source.y; })
.attr("x2", function (d) { return d.target.x; })
.attr("y2", function (d) { return d.target.y; })
node.attr("transform", function (d) {
return "translate(" + d.x + "," + d.y + ")";
});
};
function dragstarted(event) {
if (!event.active) force.alphaTarget(0.3).restart();
event.subject.fx = event.subject.x;
event.subject.fy = event.subject.y;
}
function dragged(event) {
event.subject.fx = Math.ceil(event.x/5)*5;
event.subject.fy = Math.ceil(event.y/5)*5;
}
function dragended(event) {
if (!event.active) force.alphaTarget(0);
}
The code renders the nodes and connects them with straight lines, the goal is to add the curveStepAfter to create an elbow join as it looks neater for the type of diagram I require.
Any help is appreciated.
Here's a complete example.
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v7.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
const data = {
nodes: [
{ name: "Node 1", x: 50, y: 50 },
{ name: "Node 2", x: 50, y: 100 },
{ name: "Node 3", x: 200, y: 50 },
{ name: "Node 4", x: 350, y: 50 },
{ name: "Node 5", x: 200, y: 150 },
],
links: [
{ source: 0, target: 2 },
{ source: 1, target: 2 },
{ source: 2, target: 3 },
{ source: 2, target: 4 },
],
};
const segments = data.links.map(({ source, target }) => [
data.nodes[source],
data.nodes[target],
]);
const width = 560
const height = 500;
const svg = d3.select("body")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);
const line = d3.line()
.x(d => d.x)
.y(d => d.y)
.curve(d3.curveStep);
const link = svg.selectAll("path.link")
.data(segments)
.join("path")
.attr("d", line)
.attr("stroke", "black")
.attr("fill", "none")
const node = svg.selectAll("g.node")
.data(data.nodes)
.join("g")
.attr("class", "node")
.attr("transform", d => `translate(${d.x},${d.y})`)
.call(d3.drag()
.on("drag", dragged));
node.append("circle")
.style("fill", "red")
.attr("r", 15);
function dragged(event, d) {
d.x = Math.ceil(event.x / 5) * 5;
d.y = Math.ceil(event.y / 5) * 5;
link.attr("d", line);
d3.select(this)
.attr("transform", `translate(${d.x},${d.y})`)
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
The main idea is that
const segments = data.links.map(({ source, target }) => [
data.nodes[source],
data.nodes[target],
]);
is an array of line segments in the network. We can pass each segment to a d3.line() to create a <path> for the segment. I've also removed the dependency on d3-force, which isn't needed.
I'm trying to figure out a way to space out the nodes in my network graph for my d3.js code. I don't necessarily care about how the shape of the network will be when I load the page since I can just click and drag around the nodes to make any kind of shape I want. But I'm not really sure where I start in trying to space out my nodes. I searched around and nothing I found seems to work for me. Help is very much appreciated.
Here is a picture of what the network looks like when I load the page:
https://i.gyazo.com/919ad4bde39d9fe6a6b6c91548dbcc2f.png
Here is what I'd like for it to look like roughly (again, shape does not really matter, I'm just looking to get a little distance on the inital load):

I would greatly appreciate it if I could get some help with this problem. Thank you!
There are different ways to achieve what you want. The easiest one is setting the strength of your manyBody method. According to the API:
If strength is specified, sets the strength accessor to the specified number or function, re-evaluates the strength accessor for each node, and returns this force. A positive value causes nodes to attract each other, similar to gravity, while a negative value causes nodes to repel each other, similar to electrostatic charge.
Since I don't have access to your data, this is a simplified demo. The first version has no strength, just like your code:
var width = 400;
var height = 300;
var svg = d3.select("body")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);
var nodes = [{
name: "foo",
color: "blue"
}, {
name: "bar",
color: "green"
}, {
name: "baz",
color: "red"
}, {
name: "foofoo",
color: "yellow"
}, {
name: "foobar",
color: "blue"
}, {
name: "foobaz",
color: "green"
}, {
name: "barfoo",
color: "red"
}, {
name: "barbar",
color: "yellow"
}, {
name: "barbaz",
color: "blue"
}];
var links = [{
"source": 0,
"target": 1
}, {
"source": 0,
"target": 2
}, {
"source": 0,
"target": 3
}, {
"source": 1,
"target": 3
}, {
"source": 1,
"target": 4
}, {
"source": 2,
"target": 5
}, {
"source": 3,
"target": 6
}, {
"source": 1,
"target": 7
}, {
"source": 6,
"target": 8
}, {
"source": 0,
"target": 7
}, {
"source": 2,
"target": 6
}, {
"source": 3,
"target": 8
}];
var simulation = d3.forceSimulation()
.force("link", d3.forceLink())
.force("charge", d3.forceManyBody())
.force("center", d3.forceCenter(width / 2, height / 2));
var link = svg.selectAll(null)
.data(links)
.enter()
.append("line")
.style("stroke", "#ccc")
.style("stroke-width", 1);
var node = svg.selectAll(null)
.data(nodes)
.enter()
.append("circle")
.attr("r", function(d) {
return d.r = 10;
})
.attr("stroke", "gray")
.attr("stroke-width", "2px")
.attr("fill", function(d) {
return d.color
});
simulation.nodes(nodes);
simulation.force("link")
.links(links);
simulation.on("tick", function() {
link.attr("x1", function(d) {
return d.source.x;
})
.attr("y1", function(d) {
return d.source.y;
})
.attr("x2", function(d) {
return d.target.x;
})
.attr("y2", function(d) {
return d.target.y;
})
node.attr("cx", function(d) {
return d.x
}).attr("cy", function(d) {
return d.y
});
});
<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js"></script>
The second version, however, has the strength set to a negative value:
.force("charge", d3.forceManyBody().strength(-500))
Here it is:
var width = 400;
var height = 300;
var svg = d3.select("body")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);
var nodes = [{

}, {

color: "red"
}, {
name: "foofoo",
color: "yellow"
}, {
name: "foobar",
color: "blue"
}, {
name: "foobaz",
color: "green"
}, {
name: "barfoo",
color: "red"
}, {
name: "barbar",
color: "yellow"
}, {
name: "barbaz",
color: "blue"
}];

.force("link", d3.forceLink())
.force("charge", d3.forceManyBody().strength(-500))

var link = svg.selectAll(null)

I have created five node using d3.js, and make links each other to make a polygon but they are not adjacent position to make a polygon, instead its making a random view other than a polygon.Am I missing something here, please take a look and suggest me.

height = 300
var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);

When you call
force
.nodes(datajson.nodes)
.links(datajson.links)
.start();
d3 randomly picks starting positions for the nodes, because they don't yet have x and y properties assigned.
However, prior to calling the code above, you could loop over each node and assign it x and y of the corners of the polygon, and they should maintain that relationship. They might not bounce around much though, because they'd already be at their intended position. In that case, you can slightly vary their position relative to their final intended position, by adding some random x and y displacement to the starting values.
Working example
The code that pre-positions the nodes is
var numNodes = datajson.nodes.length
var r = 20;
datajson.nodes.forEach(function(node, i) {
node.x = width/2 + r * Math.sin(2 * Math.PI * i / numNodes)
node.y = height/2 + r * Math.cos(2 * Math.PI * i / numNodes)
console.log(node)
})
I also had to tweak charge (-1000) and linkDistance (100) to make it work.
var width = 300,
height = 300
var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);
var force = d3.layout.force()
.gravity(.5)
.linkDistance(100)
.charge(-1000)
.size([width, height]);
var datajson = {
"nodes": [{
"name": "a",
"group": 2
}, {
"name": "b",
"group": 1
}, {
"name": "c",
"group": 1

"name": "d",
"group": 2
}, {
"name": "e",
"group": 2
}],

}
var numNodes = datajson.nodes.length
var r = 20;
datajson.nodes.forEach(function(node, i) {
node.x = width/2 + r * Math.sin(2 * Math.PI * i / numNodes)
node.y = height/2 + r * Math.cos(2 * Math.PI * i / numNodes)
console.log(node)
})

.nodes(datajson.nodes)

var drag = force.drag()

I'm new to D3, and am trying to make a graph similar to this example but a few things confuse me. I'm unsure when the example is referring to things built in to D3, or just the data set they are using.
Like here, I'm not sure about the id in d.id. as the example's data looks like this, which makes me think id is from the data. Or does it represent an index value?
"nodes": [
{"id": "Myriel", "group": 1},
{"id": "Napoleon", "group": 1}
],
// etc
"links": [
{"source": "Napoleon", "target": "Myriel", "value": 1},
{"source": "Mlle.Baptistine", "target": "Myriel", "value": 8},
{"source": "Mme.Magloire", "target": "Myriel", "value": 10},
//etc
var simulation = d3.forceSimulation()
.force("link", d3.forceLink().id(function(d) { return d.id; })) <-- where is this from?
.force("charge", d3.forceManyBody())
.force("center", d3.forceCenter(width / 2, height / 2));
SO! In my code I get an error repeating thousands of times, 'Uncaught Error: missing: X', where X is the value of the first source in my links array. I can console.log my data and it looks fine, and the elements are rendering to the DOM, but all bunched up to the top left of the SVG. I don't know what is wrong. I guess I have 2 questions.
Could someone clarify about the example id thing?
What does my error mean?
Any help would be appreciated.
My code;
var graph
var svg = d3.select("svg"),
width = +svg.attr("width"),
height = +svg.attr("height");
d3.json("./mock.json", function(json) {
var graph = json
console.log(graph);
console.log(graph.nodes);
var simulation = d3.forceSimulation()
.force("link", d3.forceLink(graph.links))
.force("charge", d3.forceManyBody())
.force("center", d3.forceCenter(width/2, height/2));
var link = svg.append("g")

}
There are two issues with your code:
The index of 6, see in your links array, is not available in the nodes array. nodes has a length of 6, which means the largest index is 5. This causes an error even with the correct code. I have change 6 to 5 in my working example below, and I believe that is what you want.
Since the links are based on the index, you can simply return the index instead of the ID, i.e. d3.forceLink().id(function(d,i) { return i; }.
Here is the proof-of-function example:

There is example how to have a label on the node in a D3 forced graph. What I try to do is to have a label on the line instead.
Example of the label on node: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/2706022
This code will display the text for the line up in the left corner. It seems that it takes the x, y cordinates from the canvas and not from my line. How to fix this?
var labelLine = olinks.append("text")
.attr("x", 12)
.attr("dy", ".35em")
.text("eeeeee");

This is an example that has correct behavior.
The key points are here:
1) You need to define link as SVG "g" element, so that you can define both lines and labels for each link, and that coordinates are computed correctly.
2) Label text must be centered horizontally (code: .attr("text-anchor", "middle")).
3) Inside tick(), you need to compute coordinate of the labels., as arithmetic mean between source and target node.
Hope this helps.
