This example demonstrates a random tree visualization that grows incrementally as nodes are added one by one, using the Reingold-Tilford "tidy" algorithm via d3.layout.tree. It shows how each new node enters from its parent's previous position, while existing nodes and links smoothly transition to updated layout coordinates. The animation runs every 750 milliseconds until 500 nodes populate the tree, rendering circles for nodes and curved diagonal paths for links. The code relies on d3.v3, SVG, and d3’s transition system, with data binding through selections and key functions to manage entering and updating elements.

AI-generated description

This example builds a random tree using the Reingold-Tilford "tidy" algorithm, as described in "Tidier Drawings of Trees" and implemented by d3.layout.tree. As each node is added to the graph, it enters from the previous position of the parent node. Thus, the existing nodes and the new node transition smoothly to their new positions. The animation stops when 500 nodes have been added to the tree.
