This simple bar chart is constructed from a TSV file storing the frequency of letters in the English language. The chart employs conventional margins and a number of D3 features:
| letter | frequency | |
|---|---|---|
| A | .08167 | |
| B | .01492 | |
| C | .02782 | |
| D | .04253 | |
| E | .12702 | |
| F | .02288 | |
| G | .02015 | |
| H | .06094 | |
| I | .06966 | |
| J | .00153 | |
| K | .00772 | |
| L | .04025 | |
| M | .02406 | |
| N | .06749 | |
| O | .07507 | |
| P | .01929 | |
| Q | .00095 | |
| R | .05987 | |
| S | .06327 | |
| T | .09056 | |
| U | .02758 | |
