Force Layout
Force Layout is a method used in data visualization and graphing to automatically position interconnected nodes—like points on a network—so they look organized and easy to understand. It works by simulating physical forces: nodes repel each other like magnets, while connected nodes attract each other similar to springs. This balance causes the nodes to settle into a clear, natural layout without overlapping, making relationships in complex networks visually intuitive. Force Layout helps users explore data structures such as social networks, computer networks, or any interconnected systems efficiently.
