Update NodeLink3D.js to Version 1.2.0 with New Features and Improvements

[Dbrightson]

This pull request updates the NodeLink3D.js library to version 1.2.0, incorporating a range of new features, performance enhancements, and user experience improvements. The changes include significant updates to visualization, interactivity, and functionality.

Key Updates:

1. Interactive Node Highlighting and Hover Effects: Nodes now enlarge on hover, enhancing visual feedback.
2. Dynamic Color Mapping: Nodes' colors now reflect their degree, with nodes having a degree greater than 5 highlighted in red.
3. Enhanced Camera Controls: Added zoom and pan functionality, with configurable sensitivity and radius limits.
4. Collision Detection: Integrated forceCollide() to prevent node overlap and ensure readability.
5. Node Label Visibility: Labels are now visible on hover for better node identification.
6. Gravity Simulation: Added custom gravity to pull nodes toward the graph's center, improving layout stability.
7. Physics-Based Force Adjustments: Fine-tuned link and charge strengths for smoother node interactions.
8. Node Filtering (Future-Ready): Foundation laid for future node filtering based on properties.
9. Graph Export Functionality: Users can now export the network's state as a JSON file.

Improvements:

• Camera Behavior Enhancements: Introduced bouncing and auto-rotation for a better interactive experience.

• Node Scaling Animation: Smoother scaling animations on hover.

• Performance Optimization: Enhanced dataset handling using forceManyBody().

FAQs:

1. Node Filtering: Currently under development; future updates will support filtering nodes by various attributes.
2. Camera Customization: Zoom and pan sensitivity, along with camera radius limits, are configurable.
3. Collision Detection: Utilizes forceCollide() to prevent node overlap.
4. Export Format: Graph state is exported as a JSON file.

What's Next:

1. Need to Complete Node Filtering Functionality
2. Add Support for Advanced Graph Layouts
3. Real-Time Data Updates
