In force layouts simply setting the  height  and  width  attributes will not work to re-center move the plot into the svg container  However  there s a very simple answer that works for Force Layouts found here  In summary    Use same  any  eventing you like   window on  resize   resize     Then assuming you have svg  amp  force variables    var svg      D3 Code     var force      D3 Code          function resize e          get width height with container selector  body also works         or use other method of calculating desired values     var width       myselector   width         var height       myselector   height             set attrs and  resume  force      svg attr  width   width       svg attr  height   height       force size  width  height   resume        In this way  you don t re-render the graph entirely  we set the attributes and d3 re-calculates things as necessary  This at least works when you use a point of gravity  I m not sure if that s a prerequisite for this solution  Can anyone confirm or deny     Cheers  g

It s kind of ugly if the resizing code is almost as long as the code for building the graph in first place  So instead of resizing every element of the existing chart  why not simply reloading it  Here is how it worked for me   function data display data      e   document getElementById  data-div       var w   e clientWidth        remove old svg if any -- otherwise resizing adds a second one    d3 select  svg   remove          create canvas    var svg   d3 select   data-div   append  svg                                       attr  height   100                                      attr  width   w         now add lots of beautiful elements to your graph              data display my data      call on page load  window addEventListener  resize   function event       data display my data      just call it again        The crucial line is d3 select  svg   remove     Otherwise each resizing will add another SVG element below the previous one

If you want to bind custom logic to resize event  nowadays you may start using ResizeObserver browser API for the bounding box of an SVGElement  This will also handle the case when container is resized because of the nearby elements size change  There is a polyfill for broader browser support   This is how it may work in UI component    x000D   x000D  function redrawGraph container    width  height      x000D    d3 x000D       select container  x000D       select  svg   x000D       attr  height   height  x000D       attr  width   width  x000D       select  rect   x000D       attr  height   height  x000D       attr  width   width   x000D    x000D   x000D     Setup observer in constructor x000D  const resizeObserver   new ResizeObserver  entries  observer    gt    x000D    for  const entry of entries    x000D         on resize logic specific to this component x000D      redrawGraph entry target  entry contentRect   x000D      x000D     x000D   x000D     Observe the container x000D  const container   document querySelector   graph-container    x000D  resizeObserver observe container  x000D   graph-container   x000D    height  75vh  x000D    width  75vw  x000D    x000D   x000D   graph-container svg rect   x000D    fill  gold  x000D    stroke  steelblue  x000D    stroke-width  3px  x000D    x000D   lt script src  https   unpkg com resize-observer-polyfill 1 5 1 dist ResizeObserver js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   lt script src  https   cdnjs cloudflare com ajax libs d3 5 7 0 d3 min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   x000D   lt figure class  graph-container  gt  x000D     lt svg width  100  height  100  gt  x000D       lt rect x  0  y  0  width  100  height  100    gt  x000D     lt  svg gt  x000D   lt  figure gt  x000D   x000D   x000D       unobserve in component destroy method this resizeObserver disconnect

For those using force directed graphs in D3 v4 v5  the size method doesn t exist any more  Something like the following worked for me  based on this github issue    simulation      force  center   d3 forceCenter width   2  height   2        force  x   d3 forceX width   2        force  y   d3 forceY height   2        alpha 0 1  restart

Look for  responsive SVG  it is pretty simple to make a SVG responsive and you don t have to worry about sizes any more   Here is how I did it    x000D   x000D  d3 select  div chartId   x000D      append  div   x000D        Container class to make it responsive  x000D      classed  svg-container   true   x000D      append  svg   x000D        Responsive SVG needs these 2 attributes and no width and height attr  x000D      attr  preserveAspectRatio    xMinYMin meet   x000D      attr  viewBox    0 0 600 400   x000D        Class to make it responsive  x000D      classed  svg-content-responsive   true  x000D        Fill with a rectangle for visualization  x000D      append  rect   x000D      classed  rect   true  x000D      attr  width   600  x000D      attr  height   400   x000D   svg-container   x000D    display  inline-block  x000D    position  relative  x000D    width  100   x000D    padding-bottom  100      aspect ratio    x000D    vertical-align  top  x000D    overflow  hidden  x000D    x000D   svg-content-responsive   x000D    display  inline-block  x000D    position  absolute  x000D    top  10px  x000D    left  0  x000D    x000D   x000D  svg  rect   x000D    fill  gold  x000D    stroke  steelblue  x000D    stroke-width  5px  x000D    x000D   lt script src  https   cdnjs cloudflare com ajax libs d3 5 7 0 d3 min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   x000D   lt div id  chartId  gt  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Note  Everything in the SVG image will scale with the window width  This includes stroke width and font sizes  even those set with CSS   If this is not desired  there are more involved alternate solutions below   More info   tutorials    http   thenewcode com 744 Make-SVG-Responsive  http   soqr fr testsvg embed-svg-liquid-layout-responsive-web-design php

UPDATE just use the new way from  cminatti    old answer for historic purposes  IMO it s better to use select   and on   since that way you can have multiple resize event handlers    just don t get too crazy  d3 select window  on  resize   resize     function resize            update width     width   parseInt d3 select   chart   style  width    10       width   width - margin left - margin right          resize the chart     x range  0  width        d3 select chart node   parentNode           style  height    y rangeExtent   1    margin top   margin bottom     px            style  width    width   margin left   margin right     px         chart selectAll  rect background            attr  width   width        chart selectAll  rect percent            attr  width   function d    return x d percent               update median ticks     var median   d3 median chart selectAll   bar   data             function d    return d percent           chart selectAll  line median            attr  x1   x median            attr  x2   x median             update axes     chart select   x axis top   call xAxis orient  top         chart select   x axis bottom   call xAxis orient  bottom          http   eyeseast github io visible-data 2013 08 28 responsive-charts-with-d3
