This is the simplest network force diagram I could create. Let me know if you think I can make it tighter.

Build notes:

  • It pulls data from a csv file. It uses d3.stratify() to reform links into a hierarchy. (NOTE: I ran into a challenge with d.size when moving from json to csv. While size is a feature of my data, I had to now access it from d.data.size.)
  • To differentiate between local variables and framework objects, I prefix variables with lowercase 'v'.

Not really thes simplest:

  • I bring data in hiararchically via d3.stratify and translate it back to links--but that's for the benefit of the d3-unconf class I'm teaching.
  • I've also included tick functionality because it makes me happy to watch it warble into place.

We can make this file beautiful and searchable if this error is corrected: It looks like row 2 should actually have 3 columns, instead of 2 in line 1.
