This demonstrates how to use d3-annotation() with bboxCollide
to procedurally place node labels. After using the nodes data to create a network visualization of the Les Miserables play, we filter the nodes to leave out the side characters and pass that array to d3-annotation
. We then create a second forceSimulation
, this time using the size of the notes as the property in our bounding box collision detection, to move the labels out of each others' way.
