d3jsChoosing D3 Force‑Simulation Forces for Readable Network Layouts
Guide to selecting D3 force‑simulation forces (link, charge, collision, center) to avoid node overlap, keep edge lengths uniform, and limit CPU usage.
Architecture Note: Minimal D3.js Force‑Directed Simulation with Collision Detection
A concise guide covering requirements, the smallest viable design, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and triggers for redesign when using D3.js force simulations with collision detection.
Detecting forceSimulation termination without a stopped event
Goal Determine when a d3-force simulation has truly stopped so that downstream layout cleanup, snapshot capture, or component unmounting can run without race conditions. Constraints and uncertainty The simulation cools by decaying an internal alpha value toward alphaTarget (default 0) at a rate set by alphaDecay . When alpha falls below alphaMin (default 0.0
