Stacked Bar Update Pattern
license: gpl-3.0

Use D3's general update pattern to animate stacked bar chart transitions.

Data shown here is in this format:

name a b c d e f sum
Ann 8 6 3 6 1 1 25
Bob 1 9 10 1 5 8 34
Jean 3 4 3 2 1 8 21
Chuck 2 3 5 8 5 9 32
Denise 9 10 3 8 8 8 46
Eric 3 9 2 4 10 4 32
Frida 6 6 3 7 10 6 38

Axis styling from this block. Colors from ColorBrewer.
