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.
In IE9, using style("width", 960) fails with "SCRIPT87: invalid
argument" because strictly speaking, non-zero CSS widths need a unit
e.g. "960px". In SVG, we normally use width/height attributes via
attr() instead of the CSS equivalents.
There's now a new API for invoking the hierarchy layout (hierarchy.nodes) rather
than calling the layout function directly. Calling the new API enables inlining,
which is disabled by default for backwards-compatibility.
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.
The treemap layout can now be set to "sticky" mode, which preserves the row
arrangements from an earlier layout. This is particularly handy for animating
treemaps, as it avoids the temporary occlusion as nodes swap positions. Thanks
to @philogb and the New York Times for the inspiration!
Still a work in progress. Need to decide on the appropriate API for representing
tree structures; not sure I want to go the heavyweight pv.dom route. May also
need rounding to exact pixel values.
