538 Twitter Graph, Annotated

a mashup of the 538 twitter network from @xaranke with the Network Annotation with Collision Detection block from @elijah_meeks


Using collision detection with network visualization labels

This demonstrates how to use d3-annotation() with bboxCollide to procedurally place node labels. After using the nodes data to create a network visualization of the Les Miserables play, we filter the nodes to leave out the side characters and pass that array to d3-annotation. We then create a second forceSimulation, this time using the size of the notes as the property in our bounding box collision detection, to move the labels out of each others' way.
