node-link

Nodes placed freely, every edge drawn, no fixed center and no fixed order. Position carries no meaning beyond keeping the lines apart, so what you read is the shape: which nodes bunch together, which node joins two bunches, and which node has no edges at all. This is the renderer for a graph you are still discovering rather than one you already understand.

Example

Best when you do not yet know where the center is, or whether there is one.
