This demo shows how relationships between nodes in a large data hierarchy can be shown effectively, and explored.

Angled links

Angled links are used to reflect the tree-like structure of the data so that relationships can be visualised more clearly.

Multiple charts

A second chart can help you focus in on just one aspect of the main chart. In this case, it extracts and shows just the shortest path between the two selected nodes.

You can use additional charts to highlight complex relationships in the main chart and present them in a different way. This allows you to emphasise additional aspects, while preserving contextual information.

Key functions used:

• chart.layout, especially the linkShape option
• chart.graph().shortestPaths
• chart.setProperties
• chart.on
