This simple bar chart demonstrates two new features of D3 2.6:
-
Namespaces are now optional! You can now append an SVG element by just saying
append("svg")
, without specifying the namespace explicitly as "svg:svg". Adding an element whose name is a known prefix (in d3.ns.prefix) implies a namespace; similarly, appending or inserting an element will inherit the namespace from its parent. -
The axis component now supports ordinal scales. The labels on the left side of the bar chart are rendered with the axis component.
