What is a Tree Diagram?

Explore how to create and interpret tree diagrams using D3.js, including managing hierarchical and flat data formats. Understand node-link layouts that represent parent-child relationships visually and learn techniques to style, rotate, and interact with the diagrams for effective data visualization.

We'll cover the following...

The tree layout

The “Tree layout” is not a distinct type of diagram, per se. Instead, it’s representative of D3’s family of hierarchical layouts.

It’s designed to produce a “node-link” diagram that lays out the connection between nodes in a method that displays the relationship of one node to another in a parent-child fashion.

For example, the following diagram shows a root node (the starting position) labeled “Top Node,” which has two children (Bob: ...
