introduced `linkDistance` as a key parameter for force layouts. It | |
sets the desired distance between any connected nodes. The force | |

The first example creates the simplest possible graph using a force layout. | |
The comments in the code walk through the steps in creating a force directed | |
graph. | |
Things start to get more interesting in the [next example](http://jsdatav.is/visuals.html?id=11560633). |

If the [previous example](http://jsdatav.is/visuals.html?id=11550728) didn't look very | |
impressive, that's probably because it wasn't. Why bother to use a force layout | |
just to place two circles a specific distance apart? Here's the payoff, though. | |
With nearly the _exact same code_ we can see what a more complex graph looks like. | |
There are plenty of ways to improve this graph (most of which we'll cover in |

Before digging into the properties and options of the force layout, it's | |
helpful to understand how the layout works more generally. And although | |
there's some serious mathematics going on under the hood, the principle | |
is pretty simple: The layout moves the graph nodes around a little bit |

The [previous example](http://jsdatav.is/visuals.html?id=83515b77c2764837aac2) | |
shows how `linkDistance` tells the force layout the desired distance | |
between connected nodes. It may seem strange that D3 doesn't simply | |
compel all links to be that distance. The force layout, however, takes |
