This is a visualization of the relationships among Game Of Thrones characters using a force directed graph in D3 which is discussed in this blog.
The dataset for this visualization is based on Andrew Beveridge’s dataset of “A Storm of Swords”, third book in the series which I extracted and formatted to suit D3's needs. The influence of a character is calculated by the sum of incoming and outgoing interactions.
-
The nodes represent the characters and the links their interactions.
-
The size of node and name represents influence of character. Tyrion, way to go!
-
The thickness of link denotes the weight of the relationship between the characters. See the thick link between Jaime & Brienne, Jon & Sam, Bran & Hodor, Daenerys & Sir Jorah ? :D and how can you forget Jon and Ygritte! :P
-
The node is color coded based on an influential character’s current affiliation and supporting characters around it. There you go Jon, Daenerys, Tyrion, Robb, Bran, Arya, Stannis :)
