Pie Chart
license: gpl-3.0

This pie chart is constructed from a CSV file storing the populations of various age groups. The chart employs a number of D3 features:

age population
<5 2704659
5-13 4499890
14-17 2159981
18-24 3853788
25-44 14106543
45-64 8819342

Is it a browser security issue? If so, you'll need to do one of two things:

  • Host the directory containing your files. If you have Python installed, then you can navigate to the directory with the files and use python -m SimpleHTTPServer
  • OR store the CSV data as a string and use d3.csv.parse (https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/CSV#parse). You will need to replace the newlines with '\n' because JavaScript won't parse multi-line string literals.

The first option is definitely preferable.

You'll run into the same security issue with other ways of getting data into d3. See https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Requests.

for me:
change: <script src="//d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"></script>
to

<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"></script>
