Using a Chord Diagram

The default view of a Chord Diagram will show all links.

Open

When you hover over an arc, a tooltip will be displayed, that shows the connection between the two nodes along with the total number of dependencies it has. In this instance only the selected arc will be highlighted, all other arcs will be opaque.

In the above example, we can see that there are 3 items (weight) connecting Jon and Leah. In the following data table, that has been created from the same data as the Chord Diagram, we can see that ticket numbers 3, 4 and 5 are connected to both Jon and Leah, adding up to the weight of 3.

Hovering over a node itself will display a tooltip that shows the total number of dependencies for that node. We can see, in the following screenshot, that the weight for Leah is 6 and that there are links to 3 different people. Only the arcs that are connected to the selected node will be highlighted, all other arcs will be opaque.

The data table shows the connection between Leah and the other members of staff. Leah has 3 tickets linked to Jon, 2 to Babu and 1 to Adil, making up the total weight of 6.
