visualise multiple relationships between different hierarchy levels
Hi, I've been trying to find a way to visualise a hierarchical data set with multiple links to various levels
as a base, this is what I've been working with:
base type main type archetype eats is eaten by colour
| Colour | Brown | ||||
| Colour | Green | ||||
| Colour | Orange © | ||||
| Colour | Red | ||||
| Colour | Yellow | ||||
| Fruit | Apple | Werewolf | Green | ||
| Fruit | Apple | Red | |||
| Fruit | Avocado | Werewolf | Brown | ||
| Fruit | Banana | Zombie | Yellow | ||
| Fruit | Citrus | Lemon | Troll | Yellow | |
| Fruit | Citrus | Lime | Green | ||
| Fruit | Citrus | Orange (f) | Orange © | ||
| Supernatural Creatures | Troll | Lemon | Red | ||
| Supernatural Creatures | Werewolf | Apple | Brown | ||
| Supernatural Creatures | Werewolf | Avocado | Brown | ||
| Supernatural Creatures | Zombie | Banana | Green |
as you can see, the hierarchy goes base type, main type, archetype, eats, is eaten by and colour,
i've tried using force-directed graph which seems to have a nice visual for it, but I cant seem to find any way to visualise interlinked data like this.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

Hi Anonymous ,
I'm thinking this could be done using the Sankey visual and the item counts as link weights. However, it's pretty fiddly to set up correctly so not sure if you'd want to go down this route.
Here's a step-by-step guide that I think could help if you wanted to give it a go:
Another, similar, option may be the Tassells Parallel Sets Slicer visual. This will give you an ouput something like this, which I'm sure could be tidied up a bit:

You can search in the App Source to see whether there is a visual that you need.
