Right-angle phylograms and circular dendrograms with d3. To preview see http://bl.ocks.org/kueda/1036776

readme.mkd

Demonstration of two common tree visualizations using d3 and newick.js. I hadn't found any examples of these kinds of right-angle trees so I figured I'd share. Input data is a Newick-formatted guide tree from a clustalw multiple sequence alignment on some cytochrome b sequences from several North American snakes. And it turns out the creator of newick.js also has an implementation of this kind of radial tree: check out http://www.jasondavies.com/tree-of-life/

d3.phylogram.js

/*
  d3.phylogram.js
  Wrapper around a d3-based phylogram (tree where branch lengths are scaled)
  Also includes a radial dendrogram visualization (branch lengths not scaled)
  along with some helper methods for building angled-branch trees.

  DOCUEMENTATION

  d3.phylogram.build(selector, nodes, options)
    Creates a phylogram.
    Arguments:
      selector: selector of an element that will contain the SVG
      nodes: JS object of nodes
    Options:
      width       
        Width of the vis, will attempt to set a default based on the width of
        the container.
      height
        Height of the vis, will attempt to set a default based on the height
        of the container.
      vis
        Pre-constructed d3 vis.
      tree
        Pre-constructed d3 tree layout.
      children
        Function for retrieving an array of children given a node. Default is
        to assume each node has an attribute called "branchset"
      diagonal
        Function that creates the d attribute for an svg:path. Defaults to a
        right-angle diagonal.
      skipTicks
        Skip the tick rule.
      skipBranchLengthScaling
        Make a dendrogram instead of a phylogram.
  
  d3.phylogram.buildRadial(selector, nodes, options)
    Creates a radial dendrogram.
    Options: same as build, but without diagonal, skipTicks, and 
      skipBranchLengthScaling
  
  d3.phylogram.rightAngleDiagonal()
    Similar to d3.diagonal except it create an orthogonal crook instead of a
    smooth Bezier curve.
    
  d3.phylogram.radialRightAngleDiagonal()
    d3.phylogram.rightAngleDiagonal for radial layouts.

Hm, I do't recall getting emails about these comments. Bummer. I fixed the errors, so it should work now. Check out http://bl.ocks.org/kueda/1036776

Hi, I have a project that need to does the same thing but the input format is NHX instead of Newick. Can I create a GitRepo base on your code and reference back to this page?
