This visualization maps a dataset of Iconclass notation codes—a hierarchical system for describing subjects in visual art—to a force-directed network layout using D3’s `d3.forceSimulation` and `d3.forceLink`. Each node represents a specific iconographic concept (e.g., “lamb bearing cross,” “hourglass”), with labels pulled from the `ic_text` column and edges inferred from shared prefix hierarchies in `ic_stem`. Node size reflects `ic_count` or `weight_avg`, while color encodes top-level divisions (`ic_d1`). The layout spreads nodes via `d3.forceManyBody` and `d3.forceCenter`, producing a clustered scatter of related themes, with a data source read from an external CSV via `d3.csv`.
