Rather than producing separate files for each module, the default build now
produces a single file. This should encourage better page-load performance as
the files were relatively small. Also, it's easier to deal with only one file
rather than many, especially if you're not quite sure what the dependencies are.
You may still create minimized builds, if you don't want every feature.
This commit also demotes the chart components to the examples directory, rather
than keeping them as part of the core library. As always, D3 is not a charting
library, and these were ever only intended to serve as examples.
This way, we don't need symlinks (which don't work on Windows). This commit also
simplifies the structure of the flare.json file, so that we don't need to tricky
conversion of the JSON map—it can be read directly by the hierarchy layout.
This method can be used for computing the bounding box of arbitrary GeoJSON
objects. This commit also fixes a bug in d3.geo.path, such that it will accept
any GeoJSON object, rather than requiring GeoJSON feature objects.
This uses d3.geo.path to compute the projected area (in square pixels) of each
county in the choropleth. It also usees d3.behavior.zoom to add geometric pan
and zoom.
The data join is now specified as a single function of data, as with all other
properties. This allows the key to be computed on the previously-bound data,
rather than requiring the key to be serialized into the DOM (say, as an
attribute). In the case that there is no previously-bound data, it is still
possible to access the associated node as the `this` context.
The `enter` operator no longer performs an append. For symmetry with the `exit`
operator, you must call `append` after obtaining the entering selection. This
requires a tiny bit more code, but should make the code more clear. Also, it
provides an opportunity to use a different instantiation operator, such as the
new `insert` operator. This takes a second argument, which is a selector for the
insert-before reference element. For example, the selector ":first-child" will
prepend nodes.
The `empty` operator allows you to query whether a selection is empty (i.e.,
contains zero matching nodes).
