Summary
In this chapter, we explained how to use D3.js for generating force-directed graphs. These types of graphs are some of the most interesting types of graphs and can be used to visualize large sets of interconnected data such as social networks.
The chapter started by going over the basic concepts of creating a graph, stepping through an example that progressively refined the graph, while making the effort to demonstrate how several of the parameters effect the result of the graph.
We then covered several techniques for enhancing and making the graphs more usable. These included labeling nodes with text, replacing nodes with images, and styling links to show direction and type.
In the next chapter, we will cover using D3.js for creating maps. ...
