Force-Directed Web Worker

This example demonstrates how to compute a static force-directed graph layout using web workers.

var nodes = d3.range(1000).map(function(i) {
  return {
    index: i
  };
});

var links = d3.range(nodes.length - 1).map(function(i) {
  return {
    source: Math.floor(Math.sqrt(i)),
    target: i + 1
  };
});

var meter = document.querySelector("#progress"),
    canvas = document.querySelector("canvas"),
    context = canvas.getContext("2d"),
    width = canvas.width,
    height = canvas.height;

var worker = new Worker("worker.js");

worker.postMessage({
  nodes: nodes,
  links: links

worker.onmessage = function(event) {
  switch (event.data.type) {
    case "tick": return ticked(event.data);

function ticked(data) {
  var progress = data.progress;

meter.style.width = 100 * progress + "%";
}

function ended(data) {
  var nodes = data.nodes,
      links = data.links;

meter.style.display = "none";

context.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
  context.save();
  context.translate(width / 2, height / 2);

}

function drawNode(d) {
  context.moveTo(d.x + 3, d.y);
  context.arc(d.x, d.y, 3, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
