Setting the link constraint
So far we have covered some important aspects of the force layout such as gravity, charge, friction, and momentum. In this recipe we will discuss another critical functionality: links. As we have mentioned in the introduction section, D3 force layout implements a scalable simple graph constraint, and in this recipe we will demonstrate how link constraint can be leveraged in conjunction with other forces.

How to do it...
In this recipe, whenever the user clicks their mouse we will generate a force-directed ring of particles constrained by links between nodes. ...
