The unfortunate thing about choosing stimulus package (officially the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) as my dataset is that it gets updated quite frequently. So when I started gathering data, the latest version was the one passed by the House. Now the latest version is the one passed by the Senate, and soon it will be the one signed into law. So I stuck with my original version, which means eventually I’ll have to go back in and find whatever changes have been made. The good news is that the generator works like a charm! There are some design obstacles for me to overcome: a more graceful way to handle the text will be necessary, and the overlapping branches aren’t exactly what I wanted the diagram to look like. I’m swiftly converting all of my data to XML, but here is what I have so far: the Depts. of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense and Education.
