No Animation in gForce Layout and Initial Positioning Issues #4704

If you enable gpu or worker with gpuEnabled / workerEnabled, it has to be this. Since it could not clone result from worker or gpu at each iteration (which cost a lot). You data is quite large, it need some time to calculate the layout and when the layout is finished, the position will be applied to the nodes in the view.

How many nodes in the demo? Try this solution to speed up the layout: https://github.com/antvis/G6/issues/4333#issuecomment-1457925009

In english： fruchterman (gForce in your case) supports GPU layout, and the performance of supporting GPU layout is the best when comparing large-scale data. On the contrary, the performance of GPU is not so good for small-scale data. Force2 is slow, because the convergence speed and result of the force guide are very dependent on the initial input position. If there is a good initial position, the layout will end quickly. You can configure a pre-layout for force2 through the layout preset. I just released a beta version @antv/g6@4.8.8-beta.0, which supports preset configuration gpuEnabled (the previous version preset cannot run the layout of gpuEnabled), so you can use fruchterman or gForce's gpu version as a preset, and then Running force2 can speed up a lot.

In addition, the parameters of force2 may also affect the speed. I mocked the data of a 3k node, and the speed is faster under this configuration:

layout: {
        preset: {
          type: 'gForce',
          gpuEnabled: true,
          gravity: 1,
          width: 1000,
          height: 1000,
        },
        type: 'force2',
        animate: true,
        linkDistance: 50,
        maxSpeed: 2000,
        damping: 0.3,
        interval: 0.05,
        minMovement: 5,
      },
