I am trying to create a force graph with nodes on the links between main nodes (O--o--O), similar to this visualization: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/02/20/movies/among-the-oscar-contenders-a-host-of-connections.html:
More specifically, I would like the links between nodes to start and stop at a main node (O), with a link node (o) at the midpoint. Is there a straightforward way to achieve this?
