Zoomable Treemap is a javascript library to visualise and discover hierarchical data. Treemaps are a form of visualization where the area of each rectangle is proportional to its value. Originally developed by Mike Bostock the treemap uses D3.js. This version extends the original library allowing to use the treemap as a navigation device for web and mobile users. This version of the treemap has been designed for the Italian Open Data catalogue - dati.gov.it.
To install the treemap on your website open the terminal and type the following commands:
cd <path to your local web server>
git clone https://github.com/insideout10/zoomable-treemap.git
You can now open localhost/zoomable-treemap/ in your browser.
The data visualized come from the classic flare.json, but you can give the treemap any JSON organized in this way:
{
"name": "flare",
"children": [
{
"name": "analytics",
"children": [
{
"name": "cluster",
"children": [
{"name": "AgglomerativeCluster", "size": 3938},
{"name": "CommunityStructure", "size": 3812},
{"name": "HierarchicalCluster", "size": 6714}
...
You can provide a color and Url to a node in the tree with an info object:
{
"name": "analytics",
"info":{
"Url": "http://...",
"color": "#3d5"
},
...
To insert the treemap in a HTML page, load jquery.js, d3.js and treemap.js code, then build a div with attributes id="treemap-container" and data-file="<json file address>". Below we report the index.html you can find in this repo, with useful comments.
