We are looking for a way to graphically display organization hierarchies (where parents can have multiple children and children can have multiple parents). Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.
EDIT: we are considering to use http://d3js.org/ (e.g. the Labeled force layout). Struggling a bit though to get it to work using data from our application. If anyone has any recommendations...
More info: concept would be to select a record in a mendix datagrid, press a button (or use a listening grid) to display the hierarchy/graph related to the selected record. Considering the html snippet in combination with json input for the d3js code (have questions like: where to put the d3js library, how to identify the json file/stream etc...)
Update 20140811: Did some more testing and now use a REST service to generate json that is used by a html that uses jquery and d3js to visualize the data. It does work however not 100% happy yet with the way the visual is displayed (in a separate browser popup) prefered would be in the mendix ui) and not 100% convinced whether the REST service is really required (and how do I ensure that only application users are allowed to call the rest service). Did take a look at creating my own widget but seems a bit complicated.
