Menu
I have a large number of nodes to display on the page, most of the times the circles goes off the visible area of the screen due to node placements.
Is there a way to set the initial zoom level based on the whole boundary box of nodes dynamically so that all the nodes fits on the visible area of the screen?

I have added a fiddle for this https://jsfiddle.net/navinleon/6ygaxoyq/3/
var svg = d3.select("svg"),
width = +svg.attr("width"),
height = +svg.attr("height");
var zoom = d3.zoom()
.scaleExtent([-8 / 2, 4])
.on("zoom", zoomed);
svg.call(zoom);
var g = svg.append("g");
var simulation = d3.forceSimulation()
.force("link", d3.forceLink().id(function(d) {
return d.id;
}))
.force("charge", d3.forceManyBody())
.force("center", d3.forceCenter(width / 2, height / 2));

You can't anticipate the ultimate bounds the force layout will occupy until it finishes cooling down. However, there are two possible solutions that might achieve the desired effect.
Constrain the layout, or alternatively explore reducing forces and velocities as nodes approach the bounds of the svg.
Change the zoom as the force expands beyond the bounds of the svg while cooling down.
Number one achieves the same effect by bounding the nodes in the viewport. However, nodes won't be scaled down in size, which could lead to a fair amount of clutter. There are a number of questions and answers on stack overflow that deal with this approach (such as this one).
I don't believe I've seen an example of number two before. This shouldn't be too hard to do using the d3 scale functionality. While we can't anticipate the size of the layout without running it, we can zoom dynamically based on the size of the force at any given point in time. To do so we can largely adopt the same approach you use to zoom to an individual node: apply a new zoom identity.
However, unlike when zooming to a node, we need to determine the scale. To determine the scale we need find the bounds of the force layout and compare it with the bounds of the svg. I'll use a different approach than the other answer, but either approach should work fine (I'm not certain which is more performant).
First we get the extent of x and y coordiantes:
var xExtent = d3.extent(node.data(), function(d) { return d.x; });
var yExtent = d3.extent(node.data(), function(d) { return d.y; });
We could accomodate the radius here too, I'm just using node center for this answer
Next we get the scales for x and y:
var xScale = width/(xExtent[1]-xExtent[0]);
var yScale = height/(yExtent[1]-yExtent[0]);
And then we find out which is more confining and use that scale:
var minScale = Math.min(xScale,yScale);
Now we set the zoom identity just as we would when zooming to a point, but the point we want to center on is the middle of the force layout (we can use the extents we just calculated to determine the middle), and the scale is the scale we just determined. However, we only apply the change if some condition is met - in my example below, it will be if the nodes exceed the bounds of the svg:
if(minScale < 1) {
var transform = d3.zoomIdentity.translate(width/2,height/2)
.scale(minScale)
.translate(-(xExtent[0]+xExtent[1])/2,-(yExtent[0]+yExtent[1])/2)
svg.call(zoom.transform, transform);
}
Below is a demonstration of this approach, embedded in the tick function:
var svg = d3.select("svg"),
width = +svg.attr("width"),
height = +svg.attr("height");
var zoom = d3.zoom()
.scaleExtent([-8 / 2, 4])
.on("zoom", zoomed);
svg.call(zoom);
var g = svg.append("g");
var simulation = d3.forceSimulation()
.force("link", d3.forceLink().id(function(d) {
return d.id;
}))
.force("charge", d3.forceManyBody())
.force("center", d3.forceCenter(width / 2, height / 2));

<svg width="960" height="600"></svg>The issue with the above is that mouse events are essentially ignored during the simulation run - the tick events run quick enough to effectively over-write any changes due to mouse naviagation.
There are a few potential solutions:
Stop the autoscaling when the visualization cools down a enough that mouse navigation may be useful
Stop autoscaling when a user zoom is initiated
Don't enable user zoom until the force has cooled
I'll quickly implement the first one here, as it is likely the easiest. I'll also reduce the scale by a constant factor to give a bit of margin, so that when the autoscaling stops, nodes should remain in view. I've also changed the cursor during the time where mouse navigation won't result in visible changes (starts with wait, changes to pointer):
