Collapsible tree diagram in v4
license: mit

This is a d3.js tree diagram that incldes an interactive element as used as an example in the book D3 Tips and Tricks v4.x.

Any parent node can be clicked on to collapse the portion of the tree below it, on itself. Conversly, it can be clicked on again to regrow.

It is derived from the Mike Bostock Collapsible tree example and updated to use v4.

Kudos and thanks also go out to Soumya Ranjan for steering me in the fight direction for the diagonal solution.

How to add zoom to this tree?

Dude, how to make this tree vertical instead of horizontal.

@clarkus978

How would I accomplish this using an external json file?

@andrewterra

How could I make it collapse at the root node instead of the root node's children.

@cstadler1000

Very nice job ! Would it be possible to add a license to this code ?

This is nice and helps people not so familiar with D3 updates- works with the latest D3JS.

Question:
If for a child element, there are some properties, how to display the properties inside a box?

For example, I use the following example JSON file to create my tree. I would like the properties of the 3rd child (name, doc, code) shown in a box when the user clicks on the child element.

{
	"name": "Help me to choose a product",
	"children": [
		{
			"name": "Chlorophyll",
			"children": [{
					"name": "Chl Prod 1"
				},
				{
					"name": "Chl Prod 2"
				},
				{
					"name": "Chl Prod 3",
					"properties": {
						"Name": "New Born",
						"Doc": "In Print",
						"Code": "New Git"
					}
				}
			]
		},
		{
			"name": "Sea Surface Temperature",
			"children": [{
					"name": "SST Prod 1"
				},
				{
					"name": "SST Prod 2"
				},
				{
					"name": "SST Prod 3"
				}
			]
		},
		{
			"name": "Sea Surface Salinity",
			"children": [{
					"name": "SSS Prod 1"
				}
			]
		},
		{
			"name": "Altimetry",
			"children": [{
					"name": "SSH Prod 1"
				}
			]
		}
	]
}

I'm afraid that I won't be able to solve this for you, but I can hopefully steer you in the right direction. I found some direction here, here and here which might be of assistance.

@d3noob You actually solved this for me by pointing to the right resources. I could not find those earlier, perhaps because I did not know what to search for ('m new to D3). Those pointers were useful to show how to add click events and URLs to D3 elements. Many thanks.
