Experiment in representing a list of stories for a project as a treemap.

It's a very simple and hacky Sinatra app using D3's treemap layout (https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Treemap-Layout).

Run it with:

ruby app.rb

In order to visualize a list of stories for your project, drop a CSV file with the story list on the root directoy of the app.

You should be able to navigate to http://localhost:4567/ (or whatever is the Sinatra port for you) and see the file listed there. And example of the file format can be seen here: https://github.com/moonpxi/project_treemap/blob/master/story_list_example.csv

You can customize two aspects of the output by setting specific params in the request URL: the base color and the treemap mode.

Colors (param: color):

• green (default)
• orange
• blue

Treemap mode (param: map_mode, options fron https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Treemap-Layout#wiki-mode):

• squarify (default)
• slice
• dice
• slice-dice

Examples:

http://localhost:4567/map/story_list_example?color=orange # Everything orange
http://localhost:4567/map/story_list_example?map_mode=slice # From left to right
http://localhost:4567/map/story_list_example?color=orange&map_mode=slice # Orange AND from left to right!!!
