npm install

Testing

To run the tests in the distribution, use the following command:

npm run test

Examples

To run the examples, use the following command:

npm run dev

It should open a web browser but if does not, open a web page and connect to: http://localhost:3004/.

The library is used by several systems, including Bertifier, The Vistorian, and Compadre.

Thanks

Thanks to Nathan van Beusekom @nvbeusekom for the addition of the Moran's I metric, the implementation of simultaneous reordering, and TSP.

Thanks to Curran Kelleher @curran for adapting the library to modern JavaScript modules.

Thanks to Philippe Rivière @fil for porting the "Les Misérables" example to observablehq

Thanks to Renaud Blanch for giving me his implementation of the 'Optimal Leaf Ordering' algorithm. He has improved it and the distribution is available as ordering.

I originally started this in order to add a reordering module to D3.js.

The project structure and Makefile is based on that of D3, so a big thank you goes to Mike Bostock for this.
