A force-directed graph layout of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Data for this project was sourced from Wikipedia. Please note that specific dates, even the legitmacy of some heirs, are still debated amongst scholars and should be considered when viewing this visualization.
Many thanks to Mike Bostock for such comprehensive support and examples.
This project served as an oppurtunity for me to familiarize myself and experiment with the d3 API whilst delving into a topic I enjoy. I implemented a force-layout with the following features:
- Toggleable filters for familicides and diarchies within the Ptolemaic Dynasty
- Toggleable view of a specific node's immediate relatives and details
- Detailed display of Ptolemaic lineage and line of rule
- Toggleable tooltips and information window that updates as users explore the visualization
- Dynamic sizing based on window size
- Draggable nodes
I'd like to create a more impactful experience for the user and a visualization that isn't just static data on a screen. A live data visualization is what's next
