Hi jwngr,

Thanks for the cool hack. Its nice.

How about representing the destination page as a circle around the whole graph, instead of a node? so that all the paths can be drawn in different directions but still reaching the same page. I somehow feel that it might look more beautiful.

Ooh cool idea! That certainly would improve the information density issue. I honestly never considered that at all and have no idea how I'd do it in d3, but I may try to hack it out. Thanks!

Maybe link all the outside nodes and then tell them to repel each other. If there are only two, it will be weird, but with three or more should work out.?
