This visualization recreates Charles Minard's famous flow map of Napoleon's 1812 Russian campaign, showing the army's size through path width as it advances to Moscow and retreats. The tan advance route and dark gray retreat route are rendered over geographic markers for cities and rivers. The code uses D3.js v7 (d3.area, d3.csvParse, d3.group) to build the troop paths, with hover tooltips and a temperature chart documenting the retreat's freezing conditions.

This interactive D3.js v7 visualization reimagines Charles Joseph Minard’s classic flow map of Napoleon’s 1812 Russian campaign, showing the shrinking size of the French army as a colored path whose width reflects troop count. It uses `d3.csvParse` on embedded data, `d3.group` to separate the main army from flank detachments, and SVG paths with hover effects to reveal troop numbers. A red temperature line, city markers, and annotated events illustrate the retreat’s plummeting temperatures, rendered with axes and tooltips in a Serif-styled layout.

This is a recreation of Charles Minard's 1869 map visualizing Napoleon's Russian campaign, depicting the size of the Grande Armée as a flowing, colored path whose width is proportional to troop count. The visualization combines geographic data, city markers, river layouts, and a temperature chart to tell the story of the advance and retreat. Built with D3.js v7 on an SVG canvas, it uses `d3.area`, `d3.scaleLinear`, and tooltip interactions. The rendering includes animation and a hoverable interface, with styling inspired by Edward Tufte's principles.

This interactive D3.js visualization recreates Minard’s 1869 flow map of Napoleon’s Russian campaign, showing the army’s advance to Moscow and retreat through a tan and dark gray path whose width encodes troop counts across geographic coordinates. It layers city markers, river lines, and a temperature chart beneath the map, with hover tooltips providing detail. The code uses `d3.csvParse` for embedded data, `d3.area` with `d3.curveLinear`, and `d3.group` to structure troop movements by group and direction.

This D3.js visualization replays Napoleon’s 1812 Russian campaign with a Minard-inspired flow map, showing troop strength as area-proportional bands that first advance toward Moscow and then retreat westward, paired with a temperature chart tracing the freezing retreat. The code builds the army streams using `d3.area` with a Catmull-Rom curve, parses embedded CSV data for troops, cities, rivers, and temperatures, and adds interactive tooltips—driven by `d3.select` and `d3.transition`—plus hover highlights and animated styling from the included CSS.

This D3.js (v7) visualization recreates Charles Minard's 1869 flow map of Napoleon's 1812 Russian campaign, showing the army's size through variable-width paths—tan for the advance to Moscow and dark gray for the retreat—alongside cities, rivers, and a temperature chart. The SVG rendering uses `d3.area` with a Catmull-Rom curve to generate the troop-flow paths, `d3.csvParse` to load embedded troop, city, river, and temperature data, and interactive hover tooltips on paths and city markers. It displays troop counts dropping from 422,000 to just a few hundred survivors, with the retreating temperature plunging to -30°C.

This example recreates Charles Minard’s 1869 flow map of Napoleon’s 1812 Russian campaign. Tan and dark-gray bands, whose widths encode troop counts via `d3.area()`, trace the army’s advance to Moscow and its disastrous retreat, while city markers, river lines, and a temperature chart provide geographic and climactic context. Built with D3 v7, the SVG visualization renders interactive tooltips on hover and uses `d3.csvParse` to load embedded troop, city, and temperature data.

This interactive D3.js visualization recreates Charles Joseph Minard’s 1869 flow map of Napoleon’s 1812 Russian campaign, depicting troop strength as path width across geography, with a linked temperature chart showing the freezing retreat conditions. Hovering over army paths and temperature points reveals detailed tooltips, while city markers, river lines, and annotations highlight key events such as the Berezina crossing. The SVG rendering uses `d3.csvParse` for embedded data, `d3.group` for path segmentation by troop group and direction, and D3 scales to map longitude/latitude coordinates alongside the temperature time series.
