Force Directed Graph

Force directed graph simulation

An example of a force directed graph visualization.

The goal of this project is to provide a force-directed graph algorithm for Rust, as well as 2D and 3D visualizers for this algorithm that work on the web and on desktop.

Contents

• /fdg-sim The underlying force simulation. Handles your dataset and node's positions based on a simple physics engine.
• /fdg-macroquad A visualizer for fdg-sim using macroquad to render. This is slower, but it'll be much easier to use while we polish fdg-sim.
