Highlighting some preset paths and other questions. about d3-process-map

[nylen]

You can do whatever you want if you can figure out how to trick the browser and d3 into it.

I think the first step is to set some constraints using config.json to help the structure of the data emerge. When I zoom out to about 50% in Chrome this looks better:

• http://nylen.tv/d3-process-map/graph.php?dataset=daisyrust-01
• http://nylen.tv/d3-process-map/data/daisyrust-01/config.json

Stick the code in a git repo and play around with it. Implementing the pseudocode in #3 would be a good start. For this dataset you might want to highlight all levels of parents and children at once.

Dear James,

Thank you for the reply and the tips (the sample config particularly). I've played further and will be able to get a decent layout. I'm still inputting the data set (from an omnigraffle) and will work out the the highlighting code and will share should I get it done.

Kind regards, Ian
