Force-Directed Network
Force Directed Tree is a special kind of chart used to display of multi-item data related in hierarchical, linear or mixed way, as a series of linked bubbles.
Learn everything you need to know about implementing force-directed trees with amCharts 5 in this extensive guide.

The prompt below can be used to build this chart with AI. For best coding results, use the most advanced AI models, like Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.3-Codex. For more info and tips, check out amCharts AI docs.
Create a force-directed network chart showing interconnected nodes with cross-links between branches. The data should have a root node with three main branches, each containing subcategories with child nodes. Define cross-connections between branches so that some nodes link to nodes in other branches. Node sizes should vary based on hierarchy level, with smaller nodes for deeper levels. Apply a color palette with stepped colors. Configure the force simulation so nodes spread out naturally with moderate repulsion and centering. Allow controlled expansion showing only nearby levels at a time. Enable showing multiple branches simultaneously. The root node should be pre-selected on load. Animate the series with a smooth staggered animation. Use amCharts 5 library.
