2D layout algorithms for visualizing hierarchical data.
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:9 commits, 3 PRs, 27 comments in 10 months
Contributions summary:Robin focused on improving the `d3-hierarchy` library's core functionality, specifically algorithms related to packing and enclosing circles for hierarchical data visualization. Their contributions include fixing bugs in existing functions, refactoring to optimize performance, and replacing the Welzl algorithm with the more efficient MSW algorithm. They also implemented an iterative version of the MSW algorithm and refactored code for more readable output and use of a specific indentation style. Further improvements were made in the `pack` algorithm for accurate placement of circles, avoiding overlaps.
