How it is drawn
- 01Self-initiated. No client and no brief.
- 02The layout is a radial tree: the origin at the centre, the sections on the first ring, and their pages on the second. Each section is given an angular wedge in proportion to what sits under it.
- 03Positions are arithmetic over the same route manifest the navigation and the sitemap are built from, so the drawing cannot disagree with the site and the same manifest always produces the same graph.
- 04Highlighting and filtering are CSS. There is no script on this page driving the graph, and it behaves identically with JavaScript switched off.
- 05Every node is a link and every filter is an input, so it can be worked from the keyboard.
- 06Nothing about the visit is measured, recorded or sent anywhere.
