Force Dragging III
license: gpl-3.0
height: 600

This example demonstrates applying d3-drag to a force-directed graph computed using d3-force. When the drag gesture starts, the targeted node is fixed to the pointer; it is released when the gesture ends. In addition, the simulation is temporarily “heated” during interaction by setting the target alpha to a non-zero value.

Compare to the SVG version.
