The zoomable sunburst visualizes hierarchical data from the Observable Flare dataset as concentric arcs, where clicking a node recenters and rescales the view on that subtree. Built with D3 v5, it uses `d3.hierarchy`, `d3.partition`, and `d3.arc` for layout and rendering, with smooth 750ms transitions driven by `transition.attrTween` and interpolation of arc geometry. Color is assigned per top-level branch via a rainbow ordinal scale, and labels rotate radially with visibility filtering.

  • with D3 v5 (based on the changes in v5) <br></br> Ported from this Observable notebook for this forum thread. Many thanks to Bryan Gingechen who answered my question about the necessary steps to get from an (Observable) JavaScript notebook to a vanilla JavaScript index.html. He presented his solution on blockbuilder.org
