Experimental visualizations and test benches. Things here may change shape, perform poorly on older devices, or disappear without notice.
Single-cultivar generational view. Pick any cocco-orchard apple; ancestors stack up, descendants stack down. Antidote to force-graph spaghetti when you want a clean pedigree.
/labs/graph-vis-1
Cultivars plotted along a year axis 1600 → 2030 with era bands. Reveals which decades an orchard's collection comes from and how genes flow across centuries.
/labs/graph-vis-2
World map with origin pins and great-circle parent → child arcs. Shows breeding migration — Japan to the Pacific, England to colonial Massachusetts, Minnesota everywhere.
/labs/graph-vis-3
5-axis radar in trait space (brix, acidity, firmness, storage, harvest). Pick a cultivar and surface its closest neighbors by flavor & texture, not by pedigree.
/labs/graph-vis-4
Radial chronological wheel: heritage apples at the center, modern releases at the edge, era bands as background rings. Hover to trace lineage inward to ancestors and outward to descendants.
/labs/graphvis-r1
Sankey-style layered DAG. Heritage parents flow left, descendants flow right. Edge ribbons colored by cultivar group; hover one to watch the lineage current animate downstream.
/labs/graphvis-r2
Force-directed graph with Mapbox-style level-of-detail. Only hubs render zoomed out; every cultivar appears as you zoom in. Click to fly the camera. Arrow keys step ancestor and descendant.
/labs/graphvis-r3
Long-form notes and field stories — origin sleuthing, orchard checkins, pipeline post-mortems. Lives off the main site now; surfaced here for archive access.
