D3.js tree diagram generated from 'flat' data
license: mit

This is a simple d3.js tree diagram that is generated from 'flat' data as used as an example in the book D3 Tips and Tricks.

It is derived from the Mike Bostock Collapsible tree example but it is a VERY cut down version without the ability to update (collapse).

actually i have a dictionary in that,
var dict = {
"161100": [
"161101",
"161102"
],
"161101": [
"111",
"222",
"333"
],
"161102": [
"444",
"555",
"666"
]

        }

in this dictionary first key is superior parent and it has 2 child's and that 2 child's also have some child's in 2nd and 3rd key value pair so how can i apply for loop so that i can put it in the flat data and use for diagram

Please read the ebook (its free). There is a chapter on generating a tree diagram from flat data. That will explain the format transition and it will also explain the requirements that you will need for the data. One important part that you might be missing could be the naming convention for the nodes (name and parent). You may need to work that part out yourself. Have a read of the book.
