Am really way out of my comfort zone here - trying to get a representation of a tree using Mike Bostocks collapsible tree. (original on http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4339083).

I have the code working, and referencing to my own json data file works, but I need the data in a variable instead of an external file. (due to limitations of the platform I'm using the visualisation on).

The following code calls a file called Objecttree.json, and I want to replace this with a similarly named variable called Objecttree.

It must be deadsimple, but I've searched the existing answers and am not able to use the answers given in my code. I guess skills are even below the lowest noob-threshold, so please keep that in mind!

anyway, thanks in advance.

  • just remove the call to `d3.json`, move the callback body to the main code and replace `root = flare` by `root = Objecttree`.. – Paulo Scardine Jan 27 '15 at 15:31
  • See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22517967/using-d3-js-with-a-javascript-object-instead-of-an-external-json-file or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21639305/d3js-take-data-from-an-array-instead-of-a-file or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15764698/loading-d3-js-data-from-a-simple-json-string or ... – Lars Kotthoff Jan 27 '15 at 15:32
  • Thanks @PauloScardine, I think I almost have that working. The callback body, is that everything from "root = flare" up to and including " update(root);"? - if so I am missing something because that doesn;t seem to work yet. Have I mentioned i'm in way over my head wioth this code? Thanks for all your patience anyway.. – Sven Jan 28 '15 at 10:18
  • Thanks @LarsKotthoff, I actually found all those, but I'm not able to trabnslate that to my code, I'm probably missing something small and semantic. – Sven Jan 28 '15 at 10:20

Try this one:

var Objecttree = '{"type":"Topology","transform":{"scale":[0.06690766172651032,0.060532461291637356],"translate":[-7.240804475075604,51.182450466981884]},"objects":{"outerLine":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"LineString","arcs":[0,1]},{"type":"LineString","arcs":[2,1]}]}},"arcs":[[[0,269],[41,82]],[[41,351],[115,70],[68,10],[35,3],[26,1],[11,-4]],[[295,429],[99,-39],[59,-48],[8,-82],[-34,-91],[-39,-84],[-63,-74],[-54,-11],[-54,12],[-41,8],[-103,82],[-56,66],[-10,114],[34,69]]]}';
var parsedObjecttree = JSON.parse(Objecttree);

For sure this is a json from myself. Replace the json with your data.

  • wouldn't you get the same results from removing the surrounding quotes? i.e. var Objecttree = { "type":"Topology",....} and then using that rather than the parsedObjectree? Assuming, of course, that you TRUST what's in the variable. If you have the slightest doubt, use JSON.parse as suggested. – JL Peyret Jan 28 '15 at 23:24
  • Well that is right for most of the cases sure. But sometimes the json object can contains some signs that harms the code. So this is much safer to use a special function to make sure it always works. I don't know which sign it was, but I had a really really big json file and used it without JSON.parse and it did not work. – kwoxer Jan 29 '15 at 08:13
