D3 force network with curved edges (Data: Twitter relationships in the Welsh Assembly)

This visualisation uses a D3 force simulation to show the mutual follower:following relationships between the Assembly Members in the Welsh Assembly

Twitter relationships were mined on 22/03/2017, and are representative of the follow/following relationships on that date. Links between AMs represent a mutual relationship: both AMs follow each other.

Hover over the nodes to fade out non-connected nodes.

Rather than using intermediate nodes to create curved links (as in Mike Bostock's block), this adds curves by adding a calculated control point for each edge
