d3-2way-tree

d3 implementation of a 2-way tree.

It extends Mike Bostock's D3 tree layout example

This is essentially a graph focused on a single root node that you want to display its parents and children for. Unlike other D3 graphs, there is a static up/down direction of the tree fanout, which informs the user of parent vs child nodes.

An example of the input data is found in sample.json. This is a snapshot of the wikipedia category "Airlines". The visualization shows some of the subcategories of "Airlines" as well as the categories of "Airlines".
