Question

I want to modify the zoomable icicle plot of d3js to include my own data. However, I cannot find the “readme.json” file to modify the data, nor does the graph render locally. Where can I find this file, or if I create my own json file, how should the data be formatted?

Answer 1

I got thit JSON from javascript debuger
File you can get from url http://bl.ocks.org/d/1005873/readme.json
