Force Update Pattern

An attempt to replicate Mike's General Update Pattern, III with a force layout. The update has four parts: (1) Join, (2) Exit, (3) Update, (4) Enter.

var alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".split("");

var width = window.innerWidth,
        height = window.innerHeight;

var nodes = randomizeData();

var simulation = d3.forceSimulation(nodes)
        .force("charge", d3.forceManyBody().strength(-150))
        .force("forceX", d3.forceX().strength(.1))
        .force("forceY", d3.forceY().strength(.1))
        .force("center", d3.forceCenter())
        .alphaTarget(1)
        .on("tick", ticked);

var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg").attr("width", width).attr("height", height)
        g = svg.append("g").attr("transform", "translate(" + width / 2 + "," + height / 2 + ")"),
        node = g.append("g").attr("stroke", "#fff").attr("stroke-width", 1.5).selectAll(".node");

d3.interval(function(){
      restart(randomizeData())
    }, 2000);

function restart(nodes) {

// transition
      var t = d3.transition()
          .duration(750);

// Apply the general update pattern to the nodes.
      node = node.data(nodes, function(d) { return d.name;});

node.exit()
          .style("fill", "#b26745")
        .transition(t)
          .attr("r", 1e-6)
          .remove();

node
          .transition(t)
            .style("fill", "#3a403d")
            .attr("r", function(d){ return d.size; });

node = node.enter().append("circle")
          .style("fill", "#45b29d")
          .attr("r", function(d){ return d.size })
          .merge(node);

// Update and restart the simulation.
      simulation.nodes(nodes)
        .force("collide", d3.forceCollide().strength(1).radius(function(d){ return d.size + 10; }).iterations(1));

}

function ticked() {
      node.attr("cx", function(d) { return d.x; })
          .attr("cy", function(d) { return d.y; })

}
