Chord Diagram
A chord diagram visualizes package-level dependencies within the Flare class hierarchy, with each arc representing a package and chords showing import relationships between and within packages. The diagram groups classes by their parent package, revealing total import counts and circular dependencies such as between *vis.data* and *vis.events*. Built with D3 v3, it uses `d3.layout.chord` and `d3.svg.chord` to compute and render the matrix, with arcs drawn via `d3.svg.arc` and colors from ColorBrewer’s categorical scale. Data comes from a JSON file listing class imports.
AI-generated descriptionA chord diagram in D3.js, showing dependencies between classes in a software class hierarchy. Dependencies are grouped according to the source and target packages. Although this diagram does not show class-level detail visible with hierarchical edge bundling, it better reveals the total number of imports between and within packages. Note, for example, the circular dependency between vis.data and vis.events. Colors by ColorBrewer.
