This example demonstrates how to add and remove nodes and links from a force layout. The graph initially appears with three nodes A, B and C connected in a loop. Three seconds later, node B is removed, along with the links B-A and B-C. At six seconds, node B is reintroduced, restoring the original links B-A and B-C. This example uses the general update pattern for data joins.
Switch between stacked and grouped layouts using sequenced transitions! Animations preserve object constancy and allow the user to follow the data across views. Animation design by Heer and Robertson. Colors and data generation inspired by Byron and Wattenberg.
