Bullet Chart with automatic updating v7

README.md

This is a simple example of a bullet chart derived from Mike Bostock's example and updated to work with d3.js v7

The code for the bullet.js script was parsed from Martin Meier's v4 code here.

This version updates automatically from a randomised source.
