Draws a family tree in a descendant chart format (all descendants of an individual).
Click on a node to expand/collapse all descendants.
Also includes a family book that shows the same data in a different format (see book.html).
Example:
- http://ilyayakubovich.com/descendant_tree/#stark
- http://ilyayakubovich.com/descendant_tree/book.html#stark
You have to run this from a server (can't just open the HTML file). The easiest way to do this, if you have python installed, is to run
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
this will start a python server at 0.0.0.0:8000
Use #sourcename to load a specific JSON file.
- 0.0.0.0:8000#stark loads json/stark.json
Trees are stored in a simple JSON format, and repeating portions can be handled using the "source" attribute.
-
For example, { "name":"John Smith", "source":"json/children_of_john_smith.json" }
-
This is useful for trees with cycles (cousins marrying each other) and multiple trees sharing the same descendants (this is common if you have trees for more than one of your ancestors).
Uses d3.js to draw the tree.
