treemap

Treemaps in JavaScript (compiled from TypeScript)

An implementation for laying out rectangles in a Treemap, using the algorithm from:

Squarified Treemaps (1999) by Mark Bruls, Kees Huizing, Jarke van Wijk.

See countries.html for a demo: http://nicopolyptic.github.io/projects/countries.html

To create a treemap, first declare a tree like this:

    var tree = {
      frame: {x:0,y:0, width:100, height:100},
      nodes: [
        {
          nodes: [
            {data: "Leaf 1", weight: 0.3},
            {data: "Leaf 2", weight: 0.6}
          ]
        },
        {
          nodes: [
            {data: "Leaf 3", weight: 0.2},
            {data: "Leaf 3", weight: 0.5},
            {data: "Leaf 4", weight: 0.5}
          ]
        }
      ]
    };

and pass it to the API like so:

    treemap.squarify(tree, renderer);

the renderer is a callback that looks like this:

    renderer: (x:number,y:number,width:number,height:number,node:Node) => void

The example in countries.html uses KineticJS for the rendering.
