how_use_link
This example uses the d3.linkHorizontal generator to draw a single curved path between a source point [100,100] and a target point [300,300] on an SVG canvas. The code constructs a minimal data object with source and target coordinates, passes it to the generator, and assigns the resulting path data to an SVG path element with a thick gray stroke. The d3.v4 library is loaded from a CDN, and the visualization demonstrates the basic link generator syntax without relying on a tree layout or external dataset.
AI-generated descriptionThe d3.tree layout implements the Reingold-Tilford algorithm for efficient, tidy arrangement of layered nodes. The depth of nodes is computed by distance from the root, leading to a ragged appearance. Radial orientations are also supported. Implementation based on work by Jeff Heer and Jason Davies using Buchheim et al.’s linear-time variant of the Reingold-Tilford algorithm. Data shows the Flare class hierarchy, also courtesy Jeff Heer.
Compare to this radial layout.
