Common Options

-#, --progress-bar Make curl display a simple progress bar instead of the more informational standard meter.

-b, --cookie <name=data> Supply cookie with request. If no =, then specifies the cookie file to use (see -c).

-c, --cookie-jar <file name> File to save response cookies to.

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

import code; code.interact(local=dict(globals(), **locals()))

This example pulls together various examples of work with trees in D3.js.

The panning functionality can certainly be improved in my opinion and I would be thrilled to see better solutions contributed.

One can do all manner of housekeeping or server related calls on the drop event to manage a remote tree dataset for example.

Dragging can be performed on any node other than root (flare). Dropping can be done on any node.

Panning can either be done by dragging an empty part of the SVG around or dragging a node towards an edge.

Here's an example of how to embed a Gist on GitHub Pages:

{% gist 5555251 %}

All you need to do is copy and paste the Gist's ID from the URL (here 5555251), and add it to a gist tag surrounded by {% and %}.

The map shows traffic accidents recorded in Oslo, Norway, for the year 2013.

The Leaflet Markercluster plugin is wonderful. Since the markerclusters are divIcons you can put whatever you want inside them using the iconCreateFunction. I wanted my clusters to reveal more information than just the marker count and figured a pie chart would do the job. So I told the iconCreateFunction to do some D3 magic and this is the result.

The example is a bit more complicated than necessary due to how my dataset is structured. But if you take a look at the defineClusterIcon() function you'll see that I use d3.nest() to build a dataset for the pie chart based on a given property from all the cluster's children. Then I pass this dataset over to the bakeThePie() function together with instructions on how to style the chart. The function returns svg markup which in turn is placed inside the divIcon.

Feel free to suggest improvements.
