An interactive **focus + context** tree browser rendered with Observable Plot, using true hyperbolic (Poincaré disk) geometry for layout and navigation — in the tradition of Lamping & Rao's classic "hyperbolic browser" (Xerox PARC, 1995). ## Concepts - **Poincaré disk model.** The entire (infinite) tree is mapped into a unit disk. Points near the center appear large and well-spaced ("focus"); points near the boundary are compressed but still present ("context"). No point ever reaches the boundary — it represents hyperbolic infinity. - **Möbius transforms as navigation.** Panning, zooming, and click-to-focus are all implemented as elements of **PSU(1,1)**, the isometry group of the disk. This is why navigation feels "infinite": you can never run out of space, and every view is a mathematically valid re-projection of the *same* underlying tree — nothing is ever recomputed or re-laid-out. - **Focus + context.** Because Möbius transforms are conformal, moving a node to the center doesn't just translate it — it locally *expands* the space around it (revealing more detail) while compressing everything else toward the edge (preserving overview). `);33:T846,// ---- fully self-contained rewrite (fresh names, no dependency on earlier possibly-tainted bindings) ---- function ht_cx(re, im = 0) { return { re, im }; } function ht_add(a, b) { return { re: a.re + b.re, im: a.im + b.im }; } function ht_mul(a, b) { return { re: a.re * b.re - a.im * b.im, im: a.re * b.im + a.im * b.re }; } function ht_conj(a) { return { re: a.re, im: -a.im }; } function ht_div(a, b) { const d = b.re * b.re + b.im * b.im; return { re: (a.re * b.re + a.im * b.im) / d, im: (a.im * b.re - a.re * b.im) / d }; } function ht_abs2(a) { return a.re * a.re + a.im * a.im; } const ht_identity = { a: ht_cx(1, 0), b: ht_cx(0, 0) }; function ht_apply(M, z) { const num = ht_add(ht_mul(M.a, z), M.b); const den = ht_add(ht_mul(ht_conj(M.b), z), ht_conj(M.a)); return ht_div(num, den); } function ht_composeAfter(M2, M1) { const a = ht_add(ht_mul(M2.a, M1.a), ht_mul(M2.b, ht_conj(M1.b))); const b = ht_add(ht_mul(M2.a, M1.b), ht_mul(M2.b, ht_conj(M1.a))); return { a, b }; } function ht_translateTo(p) { const r2 = Math.min(0.999999, ht_abs2(p)); const s = 1 / Math.sqrt(Math.max(1e-9, 1 - r2)); return { a: ht_cx(s, 0), b: ht_cx(p.re * s, p.im * s) }; } function ht_translateFrom(f) { const r2 = Math.min(0.999999, ht_abs2(f)); const s = 1 / Math.sqrt(Math.max(1e-9, 1 - r2)); return { a: ht_cx(s, 0), b: ht_cx(-f.re * s, -f.im * s) }; } function ht_normalize(M) { const norm = Math.sqrt(Math.max(1e-9, ht_abs2(M.a) - ht_abs2(M.b))); return { a: ht_cx(M.a.re / norm, M.a.im / norm), b: ht_cx(M.b.re / norm, M.b.im / norm) }; } function ht_layout(root, { k = 2.2 } = {}) { const tree = d3.tree() .size([2 * Math.PI, root.height || 1]) .separation((a, b) => (a.parent === b.parent ? 1 : 2) / Math.max(1, a.depth)); tree(root); const maxY = d3.max(root.descendants(), (d) => d.y) || 1; root.each((d) => { const rDisk = Math.tanh((k * d.y) / maxY); const angle = d.x - Math.PI / 2; d.z0 = { re: rDisk * Math.cos(angle), im: rDisk * Math.sin(angle) }; }); return root.descendants(); } display("Functions for math and layout"); display(ht_layout);34:T1dbf,function ht_viewer4(nodes, { width = 700, height = 700, renderBudget = 600, labelBudget = 40, title = "Hyperbolic tree viewer", subtitleBase = "", domainR = 1.05, label = (d) => d.data.name ?? d.data.id ??

Math layer — SU(1,1) Möbius transforms A set of small pure functions operating on complex numbers (\`{re, im}\`) and 2×2 matrices of the form \`{a, b}\` representing \`z ↦ (az+b)/(b̄z+ā)\` with the constraint \`|a|²−|b|²=1\`. | Function | Purpose | |---|---| | \`ht_apply(M, z)\` | Apply transform \`M\` to point \`z\` | | \`ht_composeAfter(M2, M1)\` | Compose: apply \`M1\` then \`M2\` | | \`ht_translateTo(p)\` | Transform sending \`0 → p\` | | \`ht_translateFrom(f)\` | Transform sending \`f → 0\` (used for click-to-focus) | | \`ht_normalize(M)\` | Re-enforces \`|a|²−|b|²=1\` to correct floating-point drift | | \`ht_lerpM(M0, M1, t)\` | Smooth interpolation between two transforms (for animation) | All navigation (drag, scroll, click) works by composing small incremental transforms onto one persistent state variable \`M\`, rather than recomputing any layout. ### 2. Layout layer — \`ht_layout(root, options)\` Takes a **[d3.hierarchy](https://d3js.org/d3-hierarchy)** root (built by *you*, see below) and computes a static "world" position \`z0\` for every node, once: 1. \`d3.tree()\` assigns each node a radial angle and depth (a standard radial tree layout). 2. Depth is compressed with \`tanh\` so deeper nodes crowd toward the disk boundary: \`r = tanh(k · depth / maxDepth)\`. 3. The resulting \`{re, im}\` is stored as \`node.z0\`. \`\`\`js function ht_layout(root, { k = 2.2 } = {}) { /* ... */ return root.descendants(); } \`\`\` | Option | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | \`k\` | \`2.2\` | Compression constant. Higher = more nodes pushed toward the edge (more "context", less "focus" spread). | Returns a flat array of nodes (\`root.descendants()\`), each now carrying a \`.z0\` property. **This is computed once** and reused for every frame — it's why the viewer stays fast even for large trees (layout is O(n), independent of how much you pan/zoom afterward). ### 3. Viewer layer — \`ht_viewer4(nodes, options)\` Takes the array returned by \`ht_layout\` and returns a live, interactive DOM element. Each frame: 1. Projects every node through the current transform \`M\` (\`ht_apply(M, n.z0)\`). 2. **Culls** points too close to the boundary (invisible anyway) and caps the total to \`renderBudget\` (keeping only those closest to the current focus) — this is what makes it scale to arbitrarily large trees at constant per-frame cost. 3. **Pins the root**: it's always included and, if pushed past \`rootClampR\`, is clamped back onto the visible disk (same angle, smaller radius) so you never lose your anchor. 4. Renders with \`Plot.link\` (edges) + \`Plot.dot\` (nodes) + \`Plot.text\` (labels near focus). 5. Draws a dashed boundary circle and re-binds interaction calibration. Interaction listeners (\`pointerdown/move/up\`, \`wheel\`) are attached **once** to the *outer container* (not the inner \`

\` wrapping the live Plot figure | | \`reset()\` | Animate back to the identity transform (initial view) | | \`goToRoot()\` | Animate so the root is centered (useful if you've wandered far) | | \`transform\` | (getter) the current \`{a, b}\` SU(1,1) matrix — mostly useful for debugging | **Interactions built in:** drag to pan, scroll wheel to zoom (toward cursor), click a node to smoothly animate it to center, root is always pinned on screen. `);37:T1022,display(md` ## Formatting Your Own Data The viewer doesn't consume raw data directly — it consumes a **[d3.hierarchy](https://d3js.org/d3-hierarchy)** root (a tree of linked node objects with \`.children\`, \`.parent\`, \`.depth\`, etc.). You build that root from your data first, *then* pass it to \`ht_layout\`. There are two common shapes your source data can be in: ### Shape A — Already nested (JSON tree with \`children\` arrays) If your data already looks like a tree: \`\`\`json { "name": "CEO", "children": [ { "name": "VP Engineering", "children": [ { "name": "Engineer A" }, { "name": "Engineer B" } ]}, { "name": "VP Sales", "children": [ { "name": "Sales Rep A" } ]} ] } \`\`\` use **\`d3.hierarchy\`** directly — no conversion needed: \`\`\`js const root = d3.hierarchy(myNestedData); // .children is the default accessor const nodes = ht_layout(root, { k: 2.2 }); const viewer = ht_viewer4(nodes, { label: (d) => d.data.name, // <- point this at whatever field holds your label title: "My Org Chart" }); display(viewer.element); \`\`\` ### Shape B — Flat table (rows with an id + a parent reference) This is the more common real-world case — e.g. a CSV export, a database table, or file paths. Each row needs **a unique id** and **a reference to its parent's id** (or \`null\`/ missing for the root). Two typical flavors: **B1. Explicit parent-id column** | id | parentId | name | |---|---|---| | 1 | | CEO | | 2 | 1 | VP Engineering | | 3 | 2 | Engineer A | | 4 | 2 | Engineer B | | 5 | 1 | VP Sales | \`\`\`js const root = d3.stratify() .id((d) => d.id) .parentId((d) => d.parentId || null) (myFlatRows); const nodes = ht_layout(root, { k: 2.2 }); const viewer = ht_viewer4(nodes, { label: (d) => d.data.name }); \`\`\` **B2. Dotted path names (no separate id/parentId column)** — this is what the built-in \`flare\` example uses: \`"flare.util.Strings"\` implies its parent is \`"flare.util"\`. \`\`\`js const root = d3.stratify() .id((d) => d.name) .parentId((d) => d.name.includes(".") ? d.name.slice(0, d.name.lastIndexOf(".")) : null) (myFlatRows); // rows need a unique dotted "name" field const nodes = ht_layout(root, { k: 2.2 }); const viewer = ht_viewer4(nodes, { label: (d) => d.data.name }); \`\`\` The same pattern works for file paths (split on \`"/"\` instead of \`"."\`) or any other delimiter-based hierarchy. ### Requirements & gotchas - **Every id must be unique.** \`d3.stratify\` throws if two rows share an id. - **Exactly one root.** Every row's parent chain must terminate at a single row with a \`null\`/missing \`parentId\` (or an implicit root, e.g. a name with no dot). If you have multiple disconnected trees, wrap them under a synthetic root row first. - **No cycles.** A row can't (directly or transitively) be its own ancestor. - **The \`label\` option must match your fields.** The default tries \`d.data.name\` then \`d.data.id\`; if your field is called something else (e.g. \`d.data.title\`), pass your own function — this also controls the color grouping (by top-level ancestor) and the tooltip text. ### Loading data from a file In Observable, load your file first in its own cell, then build the hierarchy in a second cell: \`\`\`js const rows = await FileAttachment("org-chart.csv").csv({typed: true}); \`\`\` \`\`\`js const root = d3.stratify().id(d => d.id).parentId(d => d.parentId || null)(rows); const nodes = ht_layout(root, { k: 2.2 }); const viewer = ht_viewer4(nodes, { label: d => d.data.name, title: "Org Chart" }); display(viewer.element); \`\`\` ### Tuning for size | Tree size | Suggested \`renderBudget\` | |---|---| | < 500 nodes | \`600\` (default — shows everything) | | 1,000 – 10,000 | \`400\`–\`600\` | | 10,000+ | \`200\`–\`400\` (keeps every frame under ~2ms regardless of total size) | The static layout step (\`ht_layout\`) itself is O(n) and fast even for tens of thousands of nodes (≈4ms for 8,000 nodes in testing) — the budget only affects *rendering*, not layout, so it's safe to lower without losing any underlying data. `);38:T5ad,I've added full documentation above, organized into these sections: 1. **Concepts** — what the Poincaré disk model is and why Möbius transforms give you genuinely infinite pan/zoom 2. **Architecture** — the three layers (math primitives → static layout → interactive viewer) and how they fit together, including the pointer-capture bug we found and fixed 3. **API Reference** — full parameter tables for `ht_layout` and `ht_viewer4`, plus the returned methods (`reset`, `goToRoot`, `transform`) 4. **Formatting Your Own Data** (the part you asked for) — covers both data shapes you'll typically encounter: - **Shape A**: already-nested JSON (`{name, children: [...]}`) → use `d3.hierarchy` directly - **Shape B**: flat tables (CSV/database rows) → use `d3.stratify`, with two sub-recipes (explicit `id`/`parentId` columns, or dotted path names like the `flare` example) - Requirements (unique ids, single root, no cycles), how to point `label` at your own field names, loading from `FileAttachment`, and a sizing guide for tuning `renderBudget` 5. **Worked Example** — a complete, runnable 10-row org chart proving the documented recipe actually works, live above 6. **Quick Reference Card** — a copy-pasteable minimal template Want me to also export this as a standalone Markdown file (e.g., a `README.md` you could download/attach), or add a section covering the animation/pinning internals in more mathematical depth?39:[] 2f:{"title":"Hyperbolic Tree Viewer","cells":[{"id":118,"value":"$32","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"js","author":"agent","summary":"Documentation: overview and concepts"},{"id":108,"value":"const ht_flareViewer4 = ht_viewer4(ht_flareNodes, {\n title: \"Hyperbolic tree viewer — Flare class hierarchy (252 nodes)\",\n subtitleBase: \"Drag to pan · scroll to zoom · click to focus · root always pinned ·\"\n});\ndisplay(ht_flareViewer4.element);\n\nconst ht_flareReset4Btn = html``;\nht_flareReset4Btn.addEventListener(\"click\", () => ht_flareViewer4.reset());\nconst ht_flareGoRootBtn = html``;\nht_flareGoRootBtn.addEventListener(\"click\", () => ht_flareViewer4.goToRoot());\ndisplay(html`
