Learning D3.JS 5.0 9.3: Drawing a Path Between Two Points

The video tutorial covers the creation and manipulation of tree diagrams using D3.js. It begins with an introduction to node characteristics, including children, depth, ID, name, and position attributes. The tutorial then explains how to create and update tree diagrams, assign node positions, and establish links between nodes. It also covers appending nodes and setting attributes, concluding with finalizing node display and text alignment. The tutorial emphasizes the use of JavaScript functions and methods to achieve these tasks.
