Animate cases over time

Hi,

I am curious if it is possible to animate cases over time through the graph?
This animation is from a Process Mining tool.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking about, but I think that it should be possible. To say more, I would need to know more about your input data.

The idea is that cases are going through the process over time. At some point the difference in seconds between step A and step B is large and cases would pile up.

What would be a good starting point to look at?

The other tool describes it as follows:

If what you want is a static graph with just the dot moving along the edges I would suggest:

1. Render the graph once with d3-graphviz
2. Use D3 to add and animate the dots along the edges. To say more, I would need to know more about your input data.

That said, for static graphs, the only benefit that d3-grapvhiz offers compared to e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hpcc-js/wasm is zooming, so if you don't need that, d3-graphviz has nothing extra to offer you.
