D3 blur out / lower the opacity of non-related links when dragging a particular node

114 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to blur out / lower the opacity of non-related links when dragging a particular node. So it only needs to highlight related links and nodes while dragging and blur out those that do not relate to the dragged node. It works if it's outside of a drag function, but it's not consistent when I keep it inside it. It just flashes randomly. Does it need to be happening in dragged?

const link = vis.selectAll("line")
            .data(data.links)
            .join("line")
            .attr("stroke", 'grey')
            .attr("fill", "red")
            .attr("opacity", 0.2)
          
     
    const drag = (simulation) => {
        const dragstarted = (event) => {
            if (!event.active) simulation.alphaTarget(0.3).restart();
            event.subject.fx = event.subject.x;
            event.subject.fy = event.subject.y;
        }

        const dragged = (event) => {
            event.subject.fx = event.x;
            event.subject.fy = event.y;
            node.on("mouseover", function(d) {
                let thisNode = this.id;
                console.log(" ~ file: index.html ~ line 99 ~ node.on ~ thisNode", thisNode)
                console.log(" ~ file: index.html ~ line 106 ~ node.on ~ d", d)

                link.attr("opacity", function(d) {
                    return (d.source.id == thisNode || d.target.id == thisNode) ? 1 : 0.2
                });
            });
            // Set the stroke width back to normal when mouse leaves the node.
            node.on('mouseout', function(d) {
                link.attr('opacity', 0.2);
            });

        }

        const dragended = (event) => {
            if (!event.active) {simulation.alphaTarget(0)};
            event.subject.fx = null;
            event.subject.fy = null;
        }
        
        return d3.drag()
            .on("start", dragstarted)
            .on("drag", dragged)
            .on("end", dragended);
    }

    const node = vis.selectAll(".node")
            .data(data.nodes)
            .join("path")
            .attr("class", "node")
            .attr("d", d3.symbol().type(d3.symbolPlus).size(300))
            .attr("id", d => d.id)
            .attr("r", 10)
            .attr("stroke", 'red')
            .style("fill", "none")
            .call(drag(simulation));

 
        simulation.on("tick", () => {
            text.attr("transform", (d) => {
                return "translate(" + (d.x + 20) + "," + (d.y + 5) + ")";
            });
            node.attr("transform", (d) => {
                return "translate(" + d.x + "," + d.y + ")";
            });
            link
                .attr("x1", d => d.source.x)
                .attr("y1", d => d.source.y)
                .attr("x2", d => d.target.x)
                .attr("y2", d => d.target.y)
        })

dragged is called throughout the drag so it makes sense to update link opacity in the dragstarted and dragend i.e. the minimum number of times.

E.g. in dragstarted run the test on whether links are connected and update the opacity appropriately (e.g. 1 for connected links, 0.1 for non-connected links) :

const dragstarted = (event) => {
  if (!event.active) simulation.alphaTarget(0.3).restart();
  event.subject.fx = event.subject.x;
  event.subject.fy = event.subject.y;

  // update link opacity to 0.1 for non-connected nodes
  link.each(function(d) {
    const test = d.source.id === event.subject.id || d.target.id === event.subject.id;
    d3.select(this).attr("opacity", test ? 1 : 0.1);
  });
}

Then in dragended you can revert the links to their initial state of opacity:

const dragended = (event) => {
  if (!event.active) {
    simulation.alphaTarget(0)
  };
  event.subject.fx = null;
  event.subject.fy = null;

  // reset link opacity to 1
  link.attr("opacity", 1);
}

I updated a couple of items in your code: data for brevity, link length for demo purposes, having opacity reduce from 1 to 0.1 (per your question) and using circles not crosses for the node as the crosses seem very difficult to manipulate. Otherwise the working example is per your question:

// SVG dimensions set to full width and height of the screen
const width = window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.body.clientWidth;
const height = window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight || document.body.clientHeight;

const drawChart = (data) => {

  // Create detached <svg> element.
  const vis = d3.select('.main_container')
    .append("svg")
    .attr("width", width)
    .attr("height", height);

  const g = vis.append("g");
  const simulation = d3.forceSimulation(data.nodes)
    .force("charge", d3.forceManyBody().strength(-300))
    .force("link", d3.forceLink(data.links).id(d => d.id).distance(100)) // reduced from 300 for demo purpose
    .force("center", d3.forceCenter(width / 2, height / 2))
    .force("collide", d3.forceCollide().strength(10))

  const link = vis.selectAll("line")
    .data(data.links)
    .join("line")
    .attr("stroke", 'grey')
    .attr("fill", "red")
    .attr("opacity", 1) // changed to 1 so we can lower opacity


  const drag = (simulation) => {
    const dragstarted = (event) => {
      if (!event.active) simulation.alphaTarget(0.3).restart();
      event.subject.fx = event.subject.x;
      event.subject.fy = event.subject.y;

      // update link opacity to 0.1 for non-connected nodes
      link.each(function(d) {
        const test = d.source.id === event.subject.id || d.target.id === event.subject.id;
        d3.select(this).attr("opacity", test ? 1 : 0.1);
      });
    }

    const dragged = (event) => {
      event.subject.fx = event.x;
      event.subject.fy = event.y;


    }

    const dragended = (event) => {
      if (!event.active) {
        simulation.alphaTarget(0)
      };
      event.subject.fx = null;
      event.subject.fy = null;

      // reset link opacity to 1
      link.attr("opacity", 1);
    }

    return d3.drag()
      .on("start", dragstarted)
      .on("drag", dragged)
      .on("end", dragended);
  }

  // for demo purpose replaced cross with circle
  // as the crosses are difficult to drag
  const node = vis.selectAll(".node")
    .data(data.nodes)
    //.join("path")
    //.attr("class", "node")
    //.attr("d", d3.symbol().type(d3.symbolPlus).size(300))
    //.attr("id", d => d.id)
    //.attr("r", 10)
    //.attr("stroke", 'red')
    //.style("fill", "none")
    .join("circle")
    .attr("class", "node")
    .attr("id", d => d.id)
    .attr("r", 8)
    .style("fill", "red")
    .call(drag(simulation));

  const text = vis.append("g")
    .attr("class", "labels")
    .selectAll("text")
    .data(data.nodes)
    .join("text")
    .text(d => d.id);




  simulation.on("tick", () => {
    text.attr("transform", (d) => {
      return "translate(" + (d.x + 20) + "," + (d.y + 5) + ")";
    });
    node.attr("transform", (d) => {
      return "translate(" + d.x + "," + d.y + ")";
    });
    link
      .attr("x1", d => d.source.x)
      .attr("y1", d => d.source.y)
      .attr("x2", d => d.target.x)
      .attr("y2", d => d.target.y)
  })

  // zoom block  
  const handleZoom = (e) => {
    d3.select('svg g')
      .attr('transform', e.transform);
  }

  const zoom = d3.zoom()
    .scaleExtent([0.1, 3.5]) //[k0, k1] where k0 is the minimum allowed scale factor and k1 is the maximum allowed scale factor, and returns this zoom behavior. If extent is not specified, returns the current scale extent, which defaults to [0, ∞]. The scale extent restricts zooming in and out.
    //  .translateExtent([

    .on('zoom', handleZoom);

  d3.select('.main_container')
