Chord Diagram

Ribbons between points on a circle that show how groups connect.

The idea

A chord diagram arranges the groups around a circle and joins them with ribbons whose width is the strength of the link. It shows two-way relationships between a modest number of groups. With too many groups it turns into a hairball, so keep the ring short.
