Simple Treemap (d3 v4; CSV; 52 Lines)
license: gpl-3.0
height: 200
border: no

This is the simplest treemap 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'.
  • The .paddingOuter(5) highlights the hierachical grouping. Normally this is achieved via different colors in treemaps.

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.
