Using WebCola and D3.js to create hierarchical layout
A good layout is essential to uncover the inherent structure in the connected data. Hierarchical layouts are typically used to display parent-child relationships among the graph nodes. D3.js off-the-shelf D3.js implementation of hierarchical layout cannot be used in case of the real-world data in which a child node can have multiple parent nodes. We use WebCola and D3.js to draw hierarchical graph layout using declarative constraint specification in a few lines of code.
