force-directed graph layout implementation using position Verlet integration

Of course anyone who read the title of this post knows the full quote:

A flexible force-directed graph layout implementation using position Verlet integration to allow simple constraints. This implementation uses a quadtree to accelerate charge interaction using the Barnes–Hut approximation.

In addition to the repulsive charge force, a pseudo-gravity force keeps nodes centered in the visible area and avoids expulsion of disconnected subgraphs, while links are fixed-distance geometric constraints. Additional custom forces and constraints may be applied on the "tick" event, simply by updating the x and y attributes of nodes.

What's D3?

It's a javascript library, D3.js:

http://d3js.org/

Wasn't there some "Pro" content on Treehouse on this..yes, it's here:

However, I'm sure we're all looking forward to the new D3 course:

The big question is, though, will the "Make Visualizations Interactive" include something from this Github library?

I'm sure it will appeal to those Data Scientist wannabes out there:

But what about some interactive demos to wet your whistle?

Here some links:

There's a whole bunch of D3 demos linked to on this page:

I'm sure none of you missed the 60 minutes Data Brokers segment,

featuring the Disconnect browser plugin.

It's at time index 06:55 here:

I'm sure the code being used is based on the D3.js code.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot..the new D3.js course is supposed to come out March 2015..can't wait!
