The colours stand for different types of HTML tags. Black is the HTML tag for the root node, which we suppose means the “start” (it’s a lone dot close to the top, right of centre). Blue shows links (the A tag). Red is for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags). Green denotes the DIV tag. Violet is for images (the IMG tag). Yellow is for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION tags). Orange denotes linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags). And Gray is for all other tags. Hmm…
But the good news is that you can actually watch a video of the graph creating itself and even do your own. Click here: MoonFlower Blog Graph, The Movie! This will open in a new page. If you miss the start, just refresh the page and it will begin again.
