Tidy Tree vs Dendogram

This bl.ock mostly just duplicates the cannonical d3.tree and d3.cluster bl.ocks by Mike Bostock. Intended to visualize differences in layout. It proceeds through transitions of:

  • Vertical Tree
  • Vertical Cluster
  • Radial Tree
  • Radial Cluster
  • Horizontal Tree
  • Horizontal Cluster

The difference between cluster and tree (dendogram and tidy tree respectively) is that the cluster puts all childless nodes (terminal nodes) at the same level, while the tree layout places all nodes with the same parent at the same level.
