Values are rounded to the nearest decimal for indexing purposes. | 0 |
| <b>linkResolution</b>([<i>num</i>]) | Getter/setter for the geometric resolution of each link, expressed in how many radial segments to divide the cylinder. Higher values yield smoother cylinders. Applicable only to links with positive width. | 6 |
| <b>linkCurvature</b>([<i>num</i>, <i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function, attribute or a numeric constant for the curvature radius of the link line. Curved lines are represented as 3D bezier curves, and any numeric value is accepted. A value of `0` renders a straight line. `1` indicates a radius equal to half of the line length, causing the curve to approximate a semi-circle. For self-referencing links (`source` equal to `target`) the curve is represented as a loop around the node, with length proportional to the curvature value. Lines are curved clockwise for positive values, and counter-clockwise for negative values. Note that rendering curved lines is purely a visual effect and does not affect the behavior of the underlying forces. | 0 |
| <b>linkCurveRotation</b>([<i>num</i>, <i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function, attribute or a numeric constant for the rotation along the line axis to apply to the curve. Has no effect on straight lines. At `0` rotation, the curve is oriented in the direction of the intersection with the `XY` plane. The rotation angle (in radians) will rotate the curved line clockwise around the "start-to-end" axis from this reference orientation. | 0 |
| <b>linkMaterial</b>([<i>Material</i>, <i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function or attribute for specifying a custom material to style the graph links with. Should return an instance of [ThreeJS Material](https://threejs.org/docs/#api/materials/Material). If a <i>falsy</i> value is returned, the default material will be used instead for that link. | *default link material is [MeshLambertMaterial](https://threejs.org/docs/#api/materials/MeshLambertMaterial) styled according to `color` and `opacity`.* |
| <b>linkThreeObject</b>([<i>Object3d</i>, <i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function or attribute for generating a custom 3d object to render as graph links. Should return an instance of [ThreeJS Object3d](https://threejs.org/docs/index.html#api/core/Object3D). If a <i>falsy</i> value is returned, the default 3d object type will be used instead for that link.  | *default link object is a line or cylinder, sized according to `width` and styled according to `material`.* |
| <b>linkThreeObjectExtend</b>([<i>bool</i>, <i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function, attribute or a boolean value for whether to replace the default link when using a custom `linkThreeObject` (`false`) or to extend it (`true`).  | `false` |
| <b>linkPositionUpdate</b>([<i>fn(linkObject, { start, end }, link)</i>]) | Getter/setter for the custom function to call for updating the position of links at every render iteration. It receives the respective link `ThreeJS Object3d`, the `start` and `end` coordinates of the link (`{x,y,z}` each), and the link's `data`. If the function returns a truthy value, the regular position update function will not run for that link. | |
| <b>linkDirectionalArrowLength</b>([<i>num</i>, <i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function, attribute or a numeric constant for the length of the arrow head indicating the link directionality. The arrow is displayed directly over the link line, and points in the direction of `source` > `target`. A value of `0` hides the arrow. | 0 |
| <b>linkDirectionalArrowColor</b>([<i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function or attribute for the color of the arrow head. | `color` |
| <b>linkDirectionalArrowRelPos</b>([<i>num</i>, <i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function, attribute or a numeric constant for the longitudinal position of the arrow head along the link line, expressed as a ratio between `0` and `1`, where `0` indicates immediately next to the `source` node, `1` next to the `target` node, and `0.5` right in the middle. | 0.5 |
| <b>linkDirectionalArrowResolution</b>([<i>num</i>]) | Getter/setter for the geometric resolution of the arrow head, expressed in how many slice segments to divide the cone base circumference. Higher values yield smoother arrows. | 8 |
| <b>linkDirectionalParticles</b>([<i>num</i>, <i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function, attribute or a numeric constant for the number of particles (small spheres) to display over the link line. The particles are distributed equi-spaced along the line, travel in the direction `source` > `target`, and can be used to indicate link directionality. | 0 |
| <b>linkDirectionalParticleSpeed</b>([<i>num</i>, <i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function, attribute or a numeric constant for the directional particles speed, expressed as the ratio of the link length to travel per frame. Values above `0.5` are discouraged. | 0.01 |
| <b>linkDirectionalParticleWidth</b>([<i>num</i>, <i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function, attribute or a numeric constant for the directional particles width. Values are rounded to the nearest decimal for indexing purposes. | 0.5 |
| <b>linkDirectionalParticleColor</b>([<i>str</i> or <i>fn</i>]) | Link object accessor function or attribute for the directional particles color. | `color` |
| <b>linkDirectionalParticleResolution</b>([<i>num</i>]) | Getter/setter for the geometric resolution of each directional particle, expressed in how many slice segments to divide the circumference. Higher values yield smoother particles. | 4 |
| <b>emitParticle</b>(<i>link</i>) | An alternative mechanism for generating particles, this method emits a non-cyclical single particle within a specific link. The emitted particle shares the styling (speed, width, color) of the regular particle props. A valid `link` object that is included in `graphData` should be passed as a single parameter. ||

### Render control

| Method | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | :--: |
| <b>pauseAnimation</b>() | Pauses the rendering cycle of the component, effectively freezing the current view and cancelling all user interaction. This method can be used to save performance in circumstances when a static image is sufficient. | |
| <b>resumeAnimation</b>() | Resumes the rendering cycle of the component, and re-enables the user interaction. This method can be used together with `pauseAnimation` for performance optimization purposes. | |
| <b>cameraPosition</b>([<i>{x,y,z}</i>], [<i>lookAt</i>], [<i>ms</i>]) | Getter/setter for the camera position, in terms of `x`, `y`, `z` coordinates. Each of the coordinates is optional, allowing for motion in just some dimensions. The optional second argument can be used to define the direction that the camera should aim at, in terms of an `{x,y,z}` point in the 3D space. The 3rd optional argument defines the duration of the transition (in ms) to animate the camera motion. A value of 0 (default) moves the camera immediately to the final position. | By default the camera will face the center of the graph at a `z` distance proportional to the amount of nodes in the system. |
| <b>scene</b>() | Access the internal ThreeJS [Scene](https://threejs.org/docs/#api/scenes/Scene). Can be used to extend the current scene with additional objects not related to 3d-force-graph. | |
