Forced Based Diagram - Space Requirements and Program

Hello Grasshoppers

I recently came across this video by Alex Fischer and would really appreciate some direction on trying to accomplish it.

My former University teacher Andrei Jipa has been started helping me with these links below CSV file & GH example

The definition below requires kangaroo influence but sadly I am not up to speed with this area..

Hi Laurent Delrieu -

Does that mean with the Rhino plugin to writeSVG the diagram can be created in Rhino without the need to for grasshopper? The end result where Kangaroo forces the circles depending on their settings is not possible with grasshopper though? I think?

Many thanks Laurent

Hi there,

find attached another approach / starting point for Graph Drawing / Layouting.

This is based on Spectral Graph Drawing which layouts the Graph based on its connectivity. Points that have the same connectivity to all other points in the graph will end on the same position. Points that have a lot in common will be placed close to each other.

More details / a basic introduction to graph drawing:
