Draggable Network
license: gpl-3.0

This example demonstrates a simple method of hand-tweaking a force-directed layout. Using d3.behavior.drag, the nodes in this network are made draggable; dragging updates the x and y properties of each node. The resulting graph could then be saved back to a JSON file using JSON.stringify.
