Single node bug in Arbor.JS

Question

When creating a trivial Arbor JS graph with a single node, the node jitters around all over the place and no further nodes can be added.

The problem is also reported here by another user:

https://github.com/samizdatco/arbor/issues/12

Would appreciate your help with a fix / workaround

Answer 1

It's not really a fix but I count the number of nodes and if less than on I set the friction to 1.0

if (nodeCount == 1) {
   //Stop single nodes bouncing all over the place
   sys.parameters({ friction: '1.0' });
}

Answer 2

Using the d3.js library instead of Arbor has solved my problem :-)
