Four small multiples show the same minimal tree rendered in four orientations: top-to-bottom, right-to-left, bottom-to-top, and left-to-right. Each panel uses `d3.layout.tree` to compute node positions, then draws curved links with `d3.svg.diagonal` and circles for nodes. The orientation is applied by projecting the layout coordinates through per-panel accessor functions that swap or invert x and y values. The tree data comes from a small `graph.json` file with two nested children.

Tree v5

This example shows a simple family tree with a single bottom-to-top orientation, where the root node appears at the bottom and child nodes branch upward. The tree uses a minimal dataset (Father, Son, Grandson, Granddaughter) loaded from a local JSON file. The visualization is built with d3.v5, using `d3.tree()` to compute the layout and SVG rendering for the nodes and curved links. Node labels are added as text elements, while link paths use cubic Bézier curves to connect parent and child positions. The code defines only one orientation in the `orientations` object, though the structure allows for more.

Tidy Tree vs. Dendrogram

This example contrasts two standard dendrogram layouts for the same hierarchical data: a classic "cluster" view, where leaves align to the bottom, and a "tree" view, which positions root and leaves at opposite ends. Using a data set from a CSV (flare.csv), nodes and edges are drawn as SVG paths and circles, with text labels. Switching between layouts is animated via `d3.transition` and a 750ms duration, demonstrating how the `d3.cluster` and `d3.tree` layout algorithms reposition nodes while preserving the hierarchy.

Tree

This example shows a simple hierarchical family tree with three generations, drawn in a bottom-to-top orientation using the D3.js v3 library. It demonstrates the `d3.layout.tree` layout and `d3.svg.diagonal` for rendering curved link paths, while nodes appear as circles with text labels for each person’s name. The data comes from a local `graph.json` file containing a nested “Father,” “Son,” and grandchildren structure. The SVG output is styled with minimal CSS, using a light gray border and black links, and the layout is positioned within a fixed margin and size.

Tree layout

This example uses D3.js version 4 to render a hierarchical tree layout from CSV data. The visualization shows nodes connected by curved paths, where node labels display different data fields depending on their depth level. The tree uses `d3.tree()` to compute positions and `d3.hierarchy()` to structure the nested data. A React version is included, and an alternative HTML file demonstrates dynamic resizing with the `clientWidth` and `clientHeight` properties.

Tidy Tree vs Dendogram

This example compares two hierarchical layout methods—the tidy tree (`d3.tree`) and the cluster dendrogram (`d3.cluster`)—by animating a small dataset through six sequential views: vertical, radial, and horizontal orientations for each layout. The transition shows how the cluster aligns all leaf nodes at a common depth, while the tree aligns nodes sharing the same parent. Using d3.v4 with SVG elements and 5-second transitions, the code updates link paths via `d3.linkVertical`, `d3.linkHorizontal`, and `d3.linkRadial`, and repositions nodes accordingly. A button or script cycles through the layouts automatically.

Simple horizontal tree diagram using v5

A simple horizontal tree diagram visualizes hierarchical data with three levels: a top-level root node, two second-level branches, and two leaf nodes. The code uses D3.js v5’s `d3.tree()`, `d3.hierarchy()`, and `d3.select()` APIs to compute the layout and render SVG paths for curved links and circles for nodes, with text labels positioned left or right based on whether a node has children. The diagram is defined by a static JavaScript object `treeData` and styled via CSS classes.

Layout Test

This example demonstrates a hierarchical tree layout rendered as an SVG visualization, with data representing a page structure of components and partials. The tree uses d3.tree and d3.hierarchy to compute node positions, while d3.linkHorizontal draws curved paths between parent and child nodes. The visualization supports pan and zoom through d3.zoom, with the zoom transform applied to a group element containing the rendered tree. A data store module supplies the hierarchical data, and the code includes a typo where circles are appended using the incorrect tag name instead of “circle.”

Tree diagram with styling in v4

This example shows a hierarchical tree diagram with styled nodes and links, where circles represent data objects using radius, stroke, and fill colors mapped from the source data. The layout is generated with d3.tree, while d3.hierarchy assigns the parent-child relationships from the inline JSON tree structure. The SVG rendering includes curved link paths between nodes, and node circles use values for radius plus type and level fields for stroke and fill styling. Text labels are positioned by horizontal anchor direction, which changes for internal versus leaf nodes.
