Fast Fisheye

A faster fisheye plugin for d3, directly combined with k-d tree for nearest neighbors search.

Build

1. Install and set up emscripten, to compile C++ code into JavaScript;
2. Get nanoflann, a header-only k-d tree implementation in C++;
3. make to generate fast_fisheye.em.js from fast_fisheye.cpp.

Usage

Check fast_random_circles.html. Cartesian Distortion is untouched and not sped up.

Issues

1. Not fast enough. I guess some NN search techniques for moving query (= current cursor position) should help. Leave it as future work.
2. Strangely much slower in Firefox.
